Barefoot to Boston for Christmas - December 2013
Happy New Year! Out of the blue I was offered the chance to spend Christmas on the far side of the Atlantic in Massachusetts, so naturally I decided to make the most of the tourist and video opportunities.
So as well as exploring the countryside and planting my feet firmly in the snow, I managed to see the Boston Freedom trail, Concord and Lexington, The Alcott house, Boston Harbour, the USS Constitution, Paul Revere's House, Salem (of Witch trial fame), the Boston Tea Party, Cambridge, Harvard and a shedload of other places.
I also managed to eat an enormous amount of food and tried the local IPA (Harpoon I think it's called) - it looks like beer; it tastes like beer; but it's cold and fizzy - most unusual!
Apparently it's usually a lot colder there than it was with twice as much snow (and I'm told the expected amount of snow did in fact materialise within a week after I returned back to London) - so I got quite lucky with some very mild temperatures (it always felt a few degrees above freezing even when there was snow on the ground) and sufficient but not intimidating amount of snow.
I also noticed that the very icy pavements are far less slippery to bare feet than they are to shoes which was very useful to me.

The biggest blizzard moments from the past 48 hours | Mashable
A howling blizzard with wind gusts more than 70 mph heaped snow on the Boston area along with other stretches of lower New England and Long Island on Tuesday but failed to live up to the hype in Philadelphia and New York City, where buses and subways started rolling again in the morning.
In New England, the storm was a bitter, paralyzing blast, while in the New York metro area, it was a bust that left forecasters apologizing, some New Yorkers griping and officials defending their near-total shutdown on travel.
At least 2 feet of snow was expected in most of Massachusetts, potentially making it one of the top snowstorms of all time. The National Weather Service said a 78 mph gust was reported on Nantucket, and a 72 mph one on Martha's Vineyard.
Some information in this report was provided by The Associated Press.

Jose Headed Towards New England; 96L a Concern for Eastern Caribbean
Tropical Storm Jose was headed northwest at 9 mph towards North Carolina on Friday morning, but is expected to turn to the north over the weekend and pass several hundred miles east of the North Carolina coast over the weekend. Jose's tropical storm-force winds cover a large area of ocean, extending out 140 miles from the center. These winds are generating large swells that are bringing rough surf and the risk of rip currents to Bermuda, The Bahamas, the northern coasts of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, and the Southeast U.S. coast. These conditions will spread northward along the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast over the weekend. Jose may bring 1 – 2” of rain to North Carolina’s Outer Banks on Monday, and heavier rains of 2 – 4” to Eastern Massachusetts beginning on Tuesday. The U.S. coast from Maryland to Cape Cod, Massachusetts is at the edge of Jose’s 5-day cone of uncertainty. An Air Force hurricane hunter aircraft will investigate Jose on Friday afternoon.
Track forecast for Jose
A high-pressure system building in to the northeast of Jose will steer the storm to the northwest and then north over the weekend, putting Jose a few hundred miles east of North Carolina’s Outer Banks on Monday, then close to the coast of southeast Massachusetts on Wednesday. The large waves from the storm will be capable of causing high surf and considerable beach erosion along the shores of the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts during this period. Jose’s fate beyond Wednesday is uncertain, with some models predicting a rapid motion to the east-northeast, out to sea, and other models predicting that Jose will get trapped in an area of weak steering currents, wandering in the waters between North Carolina and Massachusetts for multiple days.
Invest 96L a concern for the Eastern Caribbean
A strong tropical wave located at 11 am EDT Friday near 10°N, 42°W, about 1150 miles east of the Lesser Antilles Islands, was headed west to west-northwest at about 15 mph. This system was designated 96L by the National Hurricane Center on Thursday, and has the potential to be a tropical storm that will affect the islands of the eastern Caribbean beginning on Monday. In their 8 am EDT Friday Tropical Weather Outlook, NHC gave 96L 2-day and 5-day odds of development of 50% and 90%, respectively.
96L had very favorable conditions for development on Friday morning. Wind shear was a light to moderate 5 – 15 knots, SSTs were a very warm 29 – 29.5°C (84 - 85°F), and relative humidity at mid-levels of the atmosphere (as analyzed by the 12Z Thursday run of the SHIPS model) was high--about 70%. Satellite loops showed that 96L had a good deal of spin, and heavy thunderstorm activity, though limited, was steadily increasing and growing more organized.
Intensity forecast for Jose
Jose was under moderate wind shear of 15 – 20 knots Friday morning, and with sea surface temperatures (SSTs) near 29.5°C (85°F), Jose should be able to regain hurricane status by Friday night. High wind shear is expected to affect Jose Sunday through Tuesday, keeping it from intensifying beyond Category 1 status, and Jose is likely to be a Category 1 hurricane or strong tropical storm over the next five days. Satellite images on Friday morning showed that Jose had plenty of intense heavy thunderstorm activity that was growing more organized, with more spiral banding and a ragged eye beginning to appear. The waters beneath Jose will be cooler as the storm heads north, and SSTs are about 28°C (82°F) a few hundred miles off the coast of North Carolina, where Jose will be on Monday. Once Jose moves north of about 37°N (the latitude of Washington D.C.), the storm will be north of the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, making it difficult for Jose to retain its tropical characteristics. Water temperatures within about 400 miles of the coast, from New Jersey to Maine, are generally below 26°C (79°F).
Phase space diagrams from Florida State University indicate that the transition to an extratropical storm will begin to occur once Jose moves north of the Gulf Stream. This won’t necessarily weaken Jose’s winds, since the storm can still derive energy from non-tropical (baroclinic) processes. Most of the intensity models show Jose as a strong tropical storm with 60 – 70 mph winds throughout its closest approach to the New England coast, Wednesday and beyond.

Trans Woman Accuses Malik Yoba of Wrong Doing
After Malik Yoba revealed on social media last week that he was sexually attracted to trans women, he received some support for his honesty. But his Instagram post apparently also compelled one trans woman to claim the “Empire” actor should not be praised because she said he paid her for sex while she was still a teenager. New Yorks new Child Sex Abuse law means Malik could have to face the music in court. Sorry to burst a lot of folks bubbles,” Mariah Lopez Ebony wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday. Without offering proof of the claims, the post promptly went viral and has been shared hundreds of times.
