Not Missing Cambridge
Below, I’ve pasted an email from the HLS Dormitory office that gives me an additional reason to be happy that I’m currently interning at the radical defender of your rights, the EFF:
To all dorm residents:
The national weather service has issued the following advisory for the Boston area:
UNUSUALLY FRIGID AIR…EVEN FOR MID WINTER…WILL CONTINUE TO
OVERSPREAD NEW ENGLAND TODAY AND FRIDAY.
THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND A BRISK NORTHWEST WINDTONIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY…WILL YIELD WIND CHILL VALUES OF AROUND MINUS 20 FOR SEVERAL HOURS LATER TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN A STRONG WIND WILL COMBINE WITHCOLD TEMPERATURES TO CREATE DANGEROUSLY COLD CONDITIONS FOR EXPOSED SKIN. THE WIND WILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT IS AROUIND 20 DEGREES BELOW ZERO FOR A PERIOD OF SEVERAL HOURS. THOSE PLANNING TO VENTURE OUTDOORS SHOULD USE COMMON SENSE AND DRESS WARMLY, MAKING SURE THAT ALL EXPOSED SKIN IS COVERED. PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED TO CHECK ON THE ELDERLY.
In addition, please remember to close your windows and keep windows closed in such common areas as kitchens and lounges. This will help prevent pipes/radiators from freezing and the potential flooding from burst pipes.
Thank you,
Marika

that’s one reason why I didn’t apply to any boston programs… aside from the fact that they would laugh at me. 😀

And here in Sunnyvale, I forgot to turn the heater on last night, and I was still perfectly fine. 🙂 It’s actually a little chilly this morning though.
