Wow, it is cold out there today. So cold, in fact, that many travelers decided not to participate in the morning commute! The post-Superbowl Monday commute is often very light, as many people stay up late and have a difficult time feeling motivated to get to work on time Monday morning. Add to that the frigid weather, and there's really no good reason to leave the house!
Well, Pats fans, look on the bright side. At least we don't have to deal with Boston road closings associated with a post-Superbowl parade, right? It's way too cold to stand outside and cheer for the team anyway. Feel better? No, I don't, either!
As expected, we saw our share of cold weather-related "brrr-eakdowns" today. That will likely be the theme for this entire week, as it's not expected to get any warmer for a while. Even the MBTA's commuter rail was affected by the freezing temps and reported 10 to 60 minute delays on a few lines.
So, what were your plans today? Did you stay home or go to work late?
