When this storm first hit, I left work in Boston at 4.00 pm and it took me seven hours to drive home because of all the abandoned vehicles that I had to find my way around, normally a 45 minute drive.

On the following Wednesday, I had gotten a phone call from my service manager saying that he and the owner were going to the shop to shovel out. They had to walk from Dorchester to the shop on Mass. Ave in Roxbury because the roads were still closed.
I drove in to help, on the way there was a D8 dozer right in the middle of Rte 24 that had thrown a track, only one lane open. When I got to the Mass Ave exit there was a registry cop blocking the exit, and I stopped and rolled down my window, showed him my DPU license for buses, he moved the traffic cones and waved me on. When I pulled into Truck Center, you should have seen the look I got from my bosses!
.. They said, how the h___ did you get in here!
They had all the work done, so I gave them a ride back to their cars.
We didn't open for business until the following Monday.
