For example, midday Tuesday most of the sets of traffic signals along Squantum Street from Hancock Street to Harvard Street. were covered over by frozen snow.
Needless to say, signal lights were hard to discern what color was shining.
On the other hand, it is not like local m*ssh*le drivers much care to abide to traffic signals or traffic laws in general for that matter..
Fortunately, Nekkers tend to stay on the Neck or travel other roads and such surely somewhat mitigated the rate of accidents along Squantum care of impaired traffic signals.
Even so, any and all safety concern are safety concerns.
On other fronts, the South Shore broadsheet reported that at one point 4,000 locals were without power; however, as well as amazingly, National Grid quickly saw the number of locals without power down to under 100.
And to close on a high note, Quincy Quarry found a residential block in Norfolk Downs the best plowed neighborhood street in Quarry.
That and as usual.
After all, we are talking Quincy.
