With a Blizzard back home, there's no snow in Rome!

Well, the heavy snows during the past two days in Boston have been officially designated a blizzard. While I prepare to return from the Vox Clara Committee, there's a beautiful full moon and its in the 50's in Rome. I think I'd better wear my heavy coat on the plane!
