Does any one know if a snow emergency was called today in Somerville?

Thank you!

Car for sale

[in-parentheses.livejournal.com]

Do any of you need a car? I have a 1996 Subaru Legacy station wagon that I've finally, after much agonizing, decided to sell. She has a little over 93,000 miles, is fantastic in the snow, and is in really good shape - new tires, regular maintenance, etc. - except for the small problem of a busted catalytic converter. I can't afford to replace it, which is why I'm selling the car. The replacement cost for the catalytic converter is $1600, which I've subtracted from the Blue Book value of the car, so I'm asking $3300 (or best offer).

I know it's kind of a long shot that any of you might be interested, but if you have any advice about how to go about selling a car, that would be really helpful. I've never done this before.

Thanks so much!

automatic snow emergency alert notification

The city has instituted a new notification system for snow emergencies. You can now get them via email. Go onto the city website http://www.ci.somerville.ma.us/ and follow the 'what's new' link to sign up. I went in and entered both my email and my cell SMS address. And if folks can also post a message here if one is declared, that would be really cool as well.
