If You’re Sick Of the Snow Be Thankful You Don’t Live in Boston Where They Are Setting Records [VIDEO + PHOTOS]
If you think we've seen a lot of snow, you should see Boston where a record 76.5 inches has fallen in the last 30 days. That's enough snow to fill Gillette Stadium 90 TIMES! To add insult to injury, two more storms are on the way that could dump 20 more inches on a city that has no more room for more snow.
School has been closed several times and officials are considering cancelling the upcoming winter break to get in the required amount of days before the end of the school year. Public transit has also been shut down and everyone is being asked to stay home so crews can clear the streets.

They are using snow melters to get rid of some of the snow. Public Works melted 6,000 truckloads in the past 24 hours.

The city is considering dumping some of the snow into the Harbor, which is against the law. But with the near record snowfall, they may be left with no other choice.
The city may dump snow into the Boston Harbor, which it has not done since 2009: http://t.co/RgeZeiVKJG pic.twitter.com/9fjRw8rYFQ

If you find yourself complaining about our snowfall, just be thankful you don't live in Boston.
