Snow has piled up to between 7 and 12 inches south of Boston with 4-8 inches a general rule elsewhere west of Route 495. The snow will be winding down west of Worcester after 8 p.m and then the back edge of the snow will progress slowly eastward. Boston should be done accumulating most of the snow by 10 p.m. with perhaps an additional inch after that before it’s totally done around 1 a.m. If you are shoveling or plowing those times will help you plan.

Would this Grayson Allen tripping brouhaha be quite such a big deal were, instead of taking place at Duke, it were happening at, say, Montana State, College of the Pacific, or Florida Atlantic?I think we all know the answer to that question. Advertisement No, it’s become quite a big deal because it has happened at Duke, and because the head coach at Duke is someone who, it can be argued, is as great a basketball coach — note that I did not restrict the field to college — as we’ve ever known...>> view original'Boston Boy' author, prominent writer Nat Hentoff dies at 91

The trade deadline is six weeks away and the Boston Celtics should be looking to add minor pieces, not swing a blockbuster trade.Winners of eight of their last ten games, Boston (22-14) is rolling. Aside from an illness spreading across the locker room, the Celtics are healthy and playing as a cohesive unit. Team chemistry, as much as it can be an overrated discussion topic, is truly important to this Boston team.Yes, the team has deficiencies–read: rebounding–but the core of the team has been t..>> view originalWoman Hit, Killed by Car in Boston Neighborhood

Like Chipotle, the Cleveland Browns and the Democratic Party, the bust-out Boston Globe is trying to “reinvent” itself.In a memo to his decimated staff this week, editor Brian McGrory says the Globe will no longer be the “paper of record” (as if it ever was). Instead, he said, the Globe will be an “organization of interest.”Sorry, not interested.McGrory’s memo reads like it was composed by a recent graduate of an ESL program, or perhaps translated from another language, most likely consultantese..>> view originalFormer Mexican president throws Twitter shade at Trump
