The T commuter-rail Twitter feed today is full of delay notices due to "severe weather conditions," broken rails, signal issues and, of course, mechanical issues (and in some cases severe weather conditions AND mechanical issues).
In some cases, that just means delays of 5 to 15 minutes, but in others, that means delays of an hour or more.

That’s why they all have

I stayed home for just that reason. Never mind open platforms, just try to imagine waiting 15 minutes minimum for a bus out in that cold.

But a sick relative made it necessary for me.
I survived waiting for a train delayed 45 minutes at a flag stop in the evening by wearing extra layers and marching up and down the platform.
I think others may have had it worse.
