[Editors] Fwd: Letter from Boston mayor to MIT r/e SNOW

[Heather M Denny]

Thanks for sharing this, Elizabeth

I think it might have been a MIT student who originally tweeted this, then it was re-tweeted by the Libraries and others, and went viral. The Fox 25 weatherman even mentioned it in his forecast last night!

Great exposure for the Institute Archives collections.  [Shameless plug here]...see more gems from the Archives in the 'Technology' Through Time<http://events.mit.edu/event.html?id=13572444&date=2011/2/4> exhibition opening this Friday, 2/4 in the Maihaugen Gallery<http://libraries.mit.edu/maihaugen/index.html>.

Thanks,
Heather
