Snow Day in Boston, Harvard Square blizzard, Cambridge, MA
#snow #boston #harvard
Enjoy the blizzard without leaving the comfort of your room! Sit back, switch this video to HD, just watch the snow fall and chill out. This was taken at around 3 pm on Feb 8th 2013. It is the early stages of the storm. All public transportation shuts down at 3:30pm that day.
Harvard Square is a large triangular area in the center of Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, Brattle Street, and John F. Kennedy Street. It is the historic center of Cambridge.[2] Adjacent to Harvard Yard, the historic heart of Harvard University,[3] the Square (as it is sometimes called locally) functions as a commercial center for Harvard students, as well as residents of western Cambridge and the inner western and northern suburbs of Boston. These residents use the Harvard station, a major MBTA Red Line subway and bus transportation hub.
In an extended sense, the name Harvard Square can also refer to the entire neighborhood surrounding this intersection for several blocks in each direction. The nearby Cambridge Common has become a park area with a playground, baseball field, and a number of monuments, several relating to the Revolutionary War.
At the center of the Square is the old Harvard Square Subway Kiosk, now a newsstand, Out of Town News, stocking newspapers and magazines from around the world. A video of it appears in transitional clips used on CNN. A public motion art installation, Lumen Eclipse, has been introduced at the Tourist Information Booth showing monthly exhibitions of local, national and international artists.
In the southwest area of the Square neighborhood, on Mount Auburn St, stands the Igor Fokin Memorial.This memorial, created by sculptor Konstantin Simun, pays tribute not only to the late beloved puppeteer, but to all street performers that are an integral part of the square, especially during summer months.
A blizzard is a severe snowstorm characterized by strong sustained winds of at least 56 km/h (35 mph) and low temperatures lasting for a prolonged period of time — typically three hours or more. A severe blizzard has winds over 72 km/h (45 mph), near zero visibility, and temperatures of −12 °C (10 °F) or lower. Technically, the difference between a blizzard and a snowstorm is not the amount of snow but the strength of the wind.
A blizzard is a severe snowstorm characterized by strong winds and low temperatures. The difference between a blizzard and a snowstorm is the strength of the wind. To be a blizzard, a snow storm must have sustained winds or frequent gusts that are greater than or equal to 56 km/h (35 mph) with blowing or drifting snow which reduces visibility to 400 meters or a quarter mile or less and must last for a prolonged period of time — typically three hours or more.[1] Snowfall amounts do not have to be significant. In Australia the definition requires that at least some snow has been raised from the ground.

Boston is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. Boston also serves as county seat of Suffolk County. The largest city in New England, the city proper, covering 48 square miles (124 km2), had an estimated population of 645,966 in 2014, making it the 24th largest city in the United States. The city is the anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area called Greater Boston, home to 4.5 million people and the tenth-largest metropolitan area in the country. Greater Boston as a commuting region is home to 7.6 million people, making it the sixth-largest Combined Statistical Area in the United States.
One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston. Upon American independence from Great Britain, the city continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub, as well as a center for education and culture. Through land reclamation and municipal annexation, Boston has expanded beyond the original peninsula. Its rich history helps attract many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone attracting over 20 million visitors. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public school, Boston Latin School (1635), and first subway system (1897).
The area's many colleges and universities make Boston an international center of higher education and medicine, and the city is considered to be a world leader in innovation for a variety of reasons. Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, and government activities. The city has one of the highest costs of living in the United States, though it remains high on world livability rankings.

Cambridge, Massachusetts (USA) - History and Facts
Cambridge (/Ë k eɪ m b r ɪ dÊ / [3] KAYM -brij) is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, and part of the Boston metropolitan area
Memorial Drive Destruction, Charles River, January - February, 2016, Ed 3
The Destruction of Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA, USA, January - February 2016.
Final cut of this video is posted at
Almost all of this destruction occurred during January 2016. Destruction in the area immediately east of the BU Boathouse occurred in February 2016. It has been blatant Make Work for Contractors.
More destruction planned.
Accomplished years after approvals expired.
The plans are not as responsible as stated, due to lack of room in the video.
Destruction at Magazine Beach is planned to include further destruction of the playing fields with replacement of the poison drinking grass with poison drinking grass. It was a failure so they are digging it up and INTRODUCING more invasive grass there, plus expanding the invasives to replace the responsible grass at the top of the hill to the west of the playing fields and behind the swimming pool west of that.
The little guy’s parking lot at the top of the hill is slated to be destroyed. 4 nominal spaces are intended to be provided, with NO PARKING signs. Not even an attempt at a fake reason has been given for this destruction. They clearly admit it is just make work for contractors, and, of course, not negotiable.
More tree destruction is planned on the hill and next to Memorial Drive. Not negotiable.
The DCR’s love of poisons has extended to an annual infestation of the Charles River which dates back to an event at Ebersol Field near the Massachusetts General Hospital. The DCR’s beloved poisons were not working. So they dumped poisons marked “Do not use near water.” The next day, the Charles River was dead from Boston Harbor to the Mass. Ave. Bridge. It returns annually.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is suggested as a replacement for the DCR based on the history of the area. The legislature tried to protect the Charles River from the destructiveness of the Metropolitan District Commission. The legislature destroyed the MDC, splitting responsibilities so that bridges went to MassDOT and the shore went to DCR.
MDC planners went to DCR with the plans for the destruction reported.
MassDOT has frequently stood up to Cambridge and the DCR in this area. They are the adult in the room.
The video is an expansion and reorganization of The Cambridge Environment show, Feb. 7, 2016, on Cambridge Community Television, Cambridge, MA, Cable Channel 9, 6:30 pm. A shorter version has appeared on CCTV channels.
Maps are public realm documents created by the destructive government agency involved, Mass. Department of Conservation and Recreation.
The DCR, Cambridge and friends provide “explanations” for this outrage in large and varying scale. The “explanation” rather clearly varies with what the recipient will swallow. We have provided detailed responses to all nonsense we are aware of.
One rather blatant lie is responded to in the video going over the destruction east of the Mass. Ave. Bridge.
Please see section 1.c for our latest response to these varying pieces of nonsense.
Call for firing the Cambridge City Manager whose people fought for this and related outrages should accurately be expanded. Cambridge has had a regency of 3 City Managers since 1974, without improvement in the situation. Each City Manager is replaced by the assistant without any letup of the outrages. The current City Manager, Rossi, is retiring and offering his assistant as his temporary successor. Fire the City Manager includes not replacing him with his assistant.
