Good thing we don't live in Boston
Boston surpasses Blizzard of '78 snowfall levels with latest blast.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker orders non-emergency employees to stay home.
The third major winter storm in less than two weeks inflicted fresh snow — and misery — across in parts of the northeastern U.S. on Monday.
More than 60 centimetres of fresh snow piled up in parts of the northeastern New England states on Monday, breaking records set during the Blizzard of 1978 and testing the patience of officials and commuters as forecasters warned of more winter misery later in the week.
The latest onslaught forced the cancellations of hundreds of flights, tested transit systems and tempers and collapsed roofs straining beneath the weight of 1.5 metres or more of snow in less than two weeks.
Boston and areas south were hardest hit, with the National Weather Service reporting unofficial measurements of 67.3 centimetres in Weymouth, 66 centimetres in Sharon and 63.25 centimetres in Norwell. Forecasters expected more than 50 centimetres on the ground in Boston before the storm winds down early Tuesday.

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Just as bad in Nova Scotia and PEI.
