Rain on Monday, 40s and sun all week. The trick is keeping the street drains clear so the melt-off doesn't pool, and remembering that everything freezes at night.

40 years in New England. Not many surprises left.

Do y'all carry flood insurance?

It is important no matter where you live.

How high was the snow, can't imagine that much snow.

Thank you for the reminder why I live in Florida. It's hot and humid here most of the time,
but you can always make it out of the drive way everyday of the year.

Love the pictures and video, and very happy you all are safe.

It's 90% apartments in those houses, and a neat mix of mid-20s working people and old-school Irish Catholic Brightonians who have been in the neighborhood a thousand years.
