There's still so much water in the Boston area after the 8-inch drenching last weekend that it's impossible to walk around the Charles between Newton and Boston, Newton and Waltham. Last night, driving west to Boxborough (see next post), the Sudbury River was right by the shoulder; some turns off Route 2 were still closed.
Here's what it looked like yesterday along the Charles near our house.
Notice kids on railing on left
What it's supposed to look like
And what it looked like just beyond that point
