And yes, the weather today was fierce. I had a vicious commute in and out of Uphams Corner in Dorchester from Newton with heavy rain, wind gusts of 35-40 mph and busy city streets. Rode back to over by BU with a friend and realized I can commute alone and barely think about the traffic but to watch how close some of the cars and trucks came to him was very disconcerting at times. It was the kind of rain that hurts your face when it hits.
Yes, I am at Salem State.
Yikes, that's quite a commute. I was going on Canal Street here, once, and the wind nearly blew me into traffic. Fortunately 1A tho isn't as busy as Boston city streets. Or doesn't seem to be. Most of the larger trucks stick to 114, I think.
I saw you were in Newton; whereabouts? I'm near the Waltham border.
