Thursday traffic?

[bex77]

Do you know why the traffic was so horrible last night?

We were trying to drive from Porter to the MIT Student Center between 6:30 and 7:30 pm, and the traffic was awful! It took us 40 minutes. Many intersections were gridlocked along Mass. Ave. and Broadway and Main Street...co-workers are reporting problems trying to get to JP and Dorchester, with similar problems.

I was expecting bad traffic today due to Harvard's Presidential Installation, but not last night.

There was nothing on the news or even the traffic report.

Thanks for any clues.

I've seen rainy days before but nothing like this. I even thought that in mid-afternoon something was weird. Vassar was bumper-to-bumper, which it almost never is at that time of day. Come rush hour it was completely insane: walking from MIT to Kendall I saw Vassar, Main, and Ames were all parking lots.

But I, too, have no clue what was really going on.
