the essentials you need to survive this brutal winter bryant park frozen fountainThe Winter this year has been the coldest I can ever remember.  Perhaps it’s because I’m younger, a little shy of 100, which is the last time cold temperatures like now were ever registered.  Even sharks are freezing to death.  This year was the second-coldest New Year’s Eve ball drop on record in New York City.  It’s not an exaggeration to remind you that if your pipes freeze or if your heating is not working, don’t mitigate and immediately call your local authorities for help at 311.  Boston has a website dedicated to assist residents on how to get help during winter heating season.  Well, I guess I must’ve scared you enough… Life keeps going even in the coldest Winter so let’s get the right gears that are essential to survive this brutal Winter.
