[Bicycle on Fairfield St, near Commonwealth Ave, Boston]
When we finally got out today to explore -- around mid-afternoon (Patriot's game half-time) -- it was still snowing lightly, but it gradually stopped. Most of the sidewalks were shoveled, but the street corners were invariably bracketed in deep wet slush. We walked up Newbury St and through the Public Garden to Charles St and back around. We were lucky in Boston to get a foot or less snow, and the streets were clear and the parking ban lifted by late afternoon.
After returning down Newbury St, we stopped for a nice bite to eat at the bar at Bouchee brasserie (and caught the last quarter of the game on the bar TV). By the time we left, the lights on Newbury St had come on just as the skies were turning an amazing deep rose. The lights were also just coming on on the trees on the Comm Ave Mall - perfect timing.
