Baby, It's *still* cold outside

I'm back in the Boston Metropolitan Statistical Area to spend time with family and friends, and help MOBS celebrate her 40th birthday. MMTM and I are working like Kizzy to make sure everything comes off well. Pictures will be posted once I'm back in VA and recovered from the event.

In the meantime, the weather forecast reminds me once again of why I left the Boston MSA:
