I made it down to Coolidge Corner to take a few pictures of the marathon. I stuck around just long enough to see the elite runners before it started pouring rain.

After the second major snow storm in eight days, Boston was pretty much brought to a grinding halt. The MBTA trains broke down and buses were stuck on unplowed streets. According to transit officials, regular service might not be restored until next week. Despite all this, the Patriots parade had to happen Wednesday because the players would not be available if it were delayed any longer
