Blizzard of 2013 in Boston - Part Three (and hope this is the last one this year)

I am adding the last of the pictures on this Blizzard. 

The City of Boston dragged its' feet plowing, vehicles could not be used to conduct business; and people could not go to work.  As a matter of fact it was impossible for the regular crew of city workers to handle it so the Mayor arranged snow removal with private contractors.  They too were a bit slow.  Finally they arrived on this street a day and a half later. 

The streets were so impacted regular plows could not handle it, and front end loaders had to complete the job.  Thank goodness temperatures climbed into the late 30's and low 40's to help shrink the snow banks.  We still have quite a way to go before it has all melted.  I read somewhere that winters will produce 'less snow events' and 'more blizzards.'

When is that 'temperate' weather for the planet going to arrive??  Hope I am still alive to enjoy it.  Well, here are the last of the pictures.....
