Swellesley Report braves snowstorm to report from the field

December 17, 2020 by Bob Brown 12 Comments

Here’s our first-ever snowstorm report from the field. What I neglected to mention, as an amateur, is that I trudged through foot-high snow to get to the shallower spot where I did my live take…

Really wish I had a Linden Store sub handy to use as a measuring stick.

Meanwhile, the view from a DPW truck cab, courtesy of Kevin Collins of the Highway Division:

    Great reporting! May I suggest using a yardstick as was done in 1978 for The Big Storm, 21’+?

        Seems to me that “Swellesley Report” yardsticks will be a wonderful marketing tool NEXT winter, Bob!
        Stay safe. 😉

    I hope Santa gives Swellesley some gloves for Christmas. Your bare hands are making me chilly! But not a bad live shot, and great plow video.

      Well, there’s 1 frozen to my right hand now. We might need to update our story on where to buy the Wellesleyest stuff. Maybe Wellesley Books?
