Impaled!

It looks like an interloper in the garden, a volunteer tree that decided to grow there overnight. But it's actually a branch impaled by the wind — just about the only evidence we have of the storm that's ravaging our neighbors to the north.

Apparently, folks in Boston are getting as much snow per hour as we've gotten all winter. That would be two inches.

This makes it official. No complaints about winter this year. They're not allowed.
