We may have been thrilled about the lack of snow on Boston’s roads through the beginning of January, but the joke’s on us folks.
The city of Boston has set a new record for the snowiest 30 days in its (recorded) history having received 61.6 inches (1.56 meters) by 7 AM Monday, breaking the previous 30-day record of 58.8 inches (1.49 meters) that ended on February of 1978, according to the National Weather Service.
Cool fact? It’s not even over yet as there’s more on the way with the weather people forecasting several more inches of snow through the early morning hours of Tuesday!
Understandably, the accumulation of so much snow in conjunction with freezing temperatures (right now, it’s about 17 Fahrenheit or -8 Celsius here in Boston) causes havoc on roads, depletes city budgets and creates a practical / logistical problem – where are you going to put all that snow?
Having to commute to work in such conditions on a Monday morning just makes it all the better, as you can see in this ‘hyperlapse’ dashcam video from YouTuber “Waldenfont”.
