I remember I was commuting to Devens back in Jan 2003, as my reserve unit was training to deploy after being mobilzed. Wilmington was pretty much on the right side of things, with about a foot of concrete, but over in Ayer, it was about 18" of powder.
I drove down to NC and we picked up a guy in PVD on the way down and it was just a barren wasteland hahaha.
