Lost in all the snow talk is the fact that a lot of Boston-area restaurants are going to lose an entire weekend in an already-slow month. Support them by grabbing a Friday meal if you can, even if it’s just takeout.

The weekend forecast for Boston: "After a beautiful Friday, it'll start raining the minute you wake up Saturday but there will be a lull as soon as you go to sleep Saturday night. Rain starts up again when you wake up Sunday and ends the minute you go to sleep Sunday night."

Is anyone else annoyed that you can no longer “like” a tweet in your timeline until you actually click on the tweet, making it a two-step process to show some love for a post? I think this is just for mobile devices but still, it’s really irritating.

To those scolding restaurants for struggling with their newly-created ordering systems during the pandemic, cut it out. It's a new world for them and they're still learning as they go--and they don't need added stress from people who can't wait an extra minute for their coffee.
