Uncertain
= The status of the Vagina Monologues and Somerville Theatre generally is uncertain as of 11:15 am (when I'm making this edit). The T@F webmaster says: "With the T closed and the driving ban in effect, we are exploring options for re-scheduling the show. In the meantime, we may be performing a version of the show today for those within easy walking distance. Please stay tuned for further updates." (I suggest rechecking these two links periodically, as I may not be able to update this post in a timely manner.)

Please post comments with any other open/closed/on/off information that you have.

Per facebook, Dave's Fresh Pasta will be open for a few hours today starting at 11. Ball Square Fine Wines is open for a few hours (and I'm tempted to slog down there too.)

M3 canceled brunch but thinks they will be open for dinner.

[mysticalchild_isis]

I stopped in to Ball Square Fine Wines and they said they'd be open until six.

Also, Tufts Convenience is open.

M3 apparently not open for dinner. Oh well.

Downtown Wine and Spirits is open.

I hope there will be lots of pictures of the Snow Party and the Snowmandito Party. Without buses, I can't really go anywhere.

[ron_newman]

The Smowmandito party (Davis Square) will repeat tomorrow!

The power was going out at CVS while we were in there around 5:30. They had us all leave and looked to be closing their doors, so we headed home. Are they open again or still?

[tober.livejournal.com]

and it's now official that the T will again _not_ be operating at all on Sunday. Ron, you might want to edit this post to reflect that.

[ron_newman]

Done, but we may just want to start a new Day 3 post tomorrow.

ETA: Limited service starts at 2 pm today -- see new post.

Are the meters and municipal lots clear? We are coming in from CA via Hyde Park for brunch Sunday and wondering how doomed we are.

Also, there were two deaths and some injuries from people sitting inside cars while their tailpipes were still in snowdrifts. DON'T DIE.
