Maria has made it to her hotel outside of Boston, she drove in medium snow for about four hours without incident. Before she left, she insisted on moving some hay bales to the other side of the barn so that I could access them easily if the storm got bad.

The storm here is quite bad, it is falling thickly and heavily. I think there is already eight or nine inches. I am grateful Maria got to Boston, it is not snowing heavily there, a light snow is turning to rain, and no additional snow in the city is forecast until Monday morning.

Unless something changes, she should be able to make her flight and get going later this evening. In Boston, the winter storm watch ends at 7 p.m. Here, it continues until tomorrow afternoon. It is going to be a whopper here. More later. Thanks for the good words, I was getting a little jumpy there. Maria says there was no problem driving.

That was the only part I was really worried about. Maria knows how to take care of herself. Now, on to the good stuff, getting to India. More later.
