Driving in Boston is always an adventure, but it's even more so when there's inclement weather.
We got quite a bit of rain yesterday and today, which combined with the chill air to make it feel pretty cold. Of course, compared to January and snowfall, it was positively balmy in comparison. In heavy rains, Boston is subject to localized street flooding, which can take an already-crowded thoroughfare and reduce it to utter impassibility.
I take heart in the fact that it's not snowing, so I don't have to shovel anything, and the rains we've received are nothing compared to the floods and torrential rains seen in the midwest last week. Indeed, I've become savvy enough in my commute to take a different route to work when it's raining, just to avoid the perpetual puddle that always forms on the Jamaicaway near Brookline Avenue.
And luckily, the rain is moving out, so good news all around.
