Don't forget the Great Molasses Flood of January 15, 1919. I believe this is where the saying, slow as molasses in January. The location was in North End. The storge tank burst and the molasses rushed through the street at an estimated speed of 35 mph, killing 21 and injuring 150 people. More info

slow as molasses in January ~ my mom used to say that to me all the time when I was a kid. This was followed by another favorite of hers ~ you have two speeds slow and stop.
