Quincy wildlife are likely if not in fact probably enjoying today’s snow day as are close to ten thousand local public school students students.

For example, one of Quincy Quarry News’ Citizen Videographers digitally captured Wile E. Coyote making a snow angel in the vicinity of John Adams’ Peace Field House on Adams Street as the snowfall was abating, 

Road Runner, however, was nowhere to be seen. 

Also not seen was much seen in the way of brine and salt ore-treatment equipment rolling on local streets on Sunday leading up to the storm per what the Quarry has been advised by its readership in spite of the storm dumping the most snowfall experienced in Eastern Massachusetts in four years.

Then again, the storm was ramping up around kick-off time for the NFL’s AFC Championship game and which the New England Patriots won in a 10 to 7 snow fight of cliffhanger of an away game for the Patriots played in less stormy Denver, Colorado.

“The Patriots won so what’s the problem?”

While Patriots fans were overjoyed by the win, those stuck with shoveling snow as well as parents facing two days of school snow days are surely feeling the opposite, if not very much so.

Especially for parents who are looking at being stuck with children underfoot 24/7 for four days..

Conversely, rookie New York City Mayor and Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani saw to it that New York City cleaned up in a day.such that its public schools will open tomorrow.

In short, about the only upside for the Koch Maladministration is that Washington DC area schools are expected to be closed for much of the weak so that they can be dug out after a snowfall half that which hit the Greater Boston Metro regional. 

After all, one would think that having all day today to clear fluffy snow would be relatively easy given a likely surfeit of snowblowers forward deployed at schools and plow trucks able to roll to wherever they are needed,

Others are likely feeling similarly, albeit for different reasons, however.

For example, while a number of local streets were said to be mostly cleared, at least some side streets were so far less than well=plowed.

Specifically, plowing was often less than merely but approaching a from curb to curb clearing in spite of a snow emergency parking ban long the even address numbered side of local streets 

Similarly, reports from Houghs Neck reprised the usual cold tales of woe about it suffering snow-clogged streets and such. 

Further, while Merrymount saw its street plowed down to the pavement, the plowing was less than curb to curb and some blocks lost power.

Further, West Quincy suffered rough sledding.

In short, yet again Only in Quincy ….
