ボストンは今回もかなりの雪になりそうです。
昨夜はまだそれほどでもなかったので、大したことはないかと高を括っていたのですが、今朝は結構な積雪量になっていました。
地域の警察から電話で路上に止めている車は除雪車が通るので撤去しておくように、また各家の前の歩道は３６インチ（約９１センチ）は
除雪しておくように、との指示が出ていました。学校や職場はもちろん閉鎖で、娘も家におり、医師との面談がある夫も病院ではなくZoomで話すことになりました。朝８時、外を見ると時折除雪車が雪を退けていますが、それ以外に車も人も姿はありません。
今日は一日降り続くようで、除雪機のない我が家は人力で雪かきをするのですが、近所はまだ誰も出ていないので我が家もタイミングを見計らっています。運動を兼ねて私も娘と雪かき、頑張ります！
We expect heavy snow in Boston again similar to the last snowfall which was 3 weeks ago. Actually I underestimated the amount of snow, because it was not falling much last night, but everything was covered in heavy snow this morning.
Last night we received instructions from the local police by phone that if you park the car on the street, you should move it because it gets in the way of snowplows. Another instruction was that we need to eliminate the snow on the sidewalk in front of the house 36 inches in width. All schools and workplaces are closed for this emergency situation, so my daughter is staying at home and my husband will talk to the doctor by zoom instead of meeting in person. As of 8 a.m., snow plows are running but no cars and people can be seen.
According to the weather information, the snow will be falling all day long. Since we don't have a snow blower, we need to eliminate the snow by hand and we are wondering when we should go out to shovel the snow because I don't see anybody outside now. I think shoveling will be a good exercise. I will do it with my daughter and I am excited about it!
