Even More Snow
Winter Weather Slams Small Businesses: The accumulating snow in Boston — even before this latest winter storm — has made getting around a nightmare. And once you get there, good luck trying to find a parking spot!

That’s in addition to the nearly 7,000 flights that were grounded yesterday. For some practical advice about what to do if you find yourself in this all-too-common winter scenario, we turn now to the New York Times’ practical traveler columnist, Michelle Higgins – who just last week penned a piece on the very subject entitled “How To Fight Back When Your Flight Is Cancelled.”
