The calm before the (student) storm
Enjoy the commute to work today. Everything changes next week. School in Lowell begins on Tuesday and the morning roads will be clogged with school buses and more cars as students are transported around the city. For year-round commuters, the drive to work will be longer and the urge to drive aggressively will be greater. Just leave home a few minutes earlier and relax; there will be a lot of excited kids on the streets paying only some attention to the traffic.
The calm before the storm. On another note, In 1978 it was very calm before the blizzard hit.
