Outdoor snow parties in Davis and Union Squares this Saturday afternoon

[ron_newman]

Banditos Misteriosos invite folks to a Snowmandito Party in Seven Hills Park this Saturday, starting at noon:

The idea is simple. This Saturday, we hope that our fair city will be blanketed with snow. You, the illustrious denizens of this metropolis, will gather at noon--or whenever you can get there!--in Seven Hills Park (by Davis Square). Bring rocks, carrots, old scarves, cigars, corncob pipes, food coloring, fairy princess crowns, horse masks, and other accoutrements of your choosing to fulfill our destiny: building a snowman army.

Spread the word! We want to see small snowmen, big snowmen, snowdogs, snowcats, snowladybugs, entire families of snowmen, and non-gender specific snowpeople. Show us what you got, and bring your friends and family. We can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Meanwhile, Artisan's Asylum wants us to come to Union Square for a Snow Day from 1 to 3 pm Saturday:

Grab your buckets, shovels and gloves and join Artisan's Asylum as we set up some speakers, put out some hot chocolate, and build snow forts, snowmen, and whatever other snow sculpture you want in Union Square!

We've done this once before to great affect - two years ago, we had around 200 people join us, and we made Calvin & Hobbes sculptures, igloos, snow-decahedrons, snow dragons, armies of tiny snowmen, and more.

Kids, it's that time again....

When we miss the golden tones of Tom Champion. I'll be raising a mug of hot chocolate to times past this weekend and listening to this awesome remix

And yes, I may have downloaded it. 

I am posting this because I know that all of you have gotten the robocall and just thought...Wow, I wonder what happened to that Tom Champion Remix!

MBTA SHUTTING DOWN at 3:30 PM tomorrow (Friday)

[ron_newman]

The T is shutting down all service tomorrow (Friday) at 3:30 pm, according to its web site.

(I don't understand why they need to do this. I was here during the Blizzard of '78, and the T kept at least all of the underground system running throughout. I think that even included the Red Line across the Longfellow Bridge.)

Somerville Snow Emergency Question

This might be silly but what is "odd numbered side of the street"?

Just trying to get my roommates car to a safe space before the snow goes down...

Thanks!
