Boston Up to Its Eyeballs in Snow, More Ahead

Once again a winter storm system is targeting Boston, with forecasters predicting 12 to 16 inches by the end of Tuesday.

The problem is not the storm itself but that it's coming on the heels of two others. In the last month, a record-breaking five feet of snow has fallen on the city.

"This is pretty much unprecedented," Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said.

Work crews are melting snow in Boston in an effort to get rid of it all. Officials are even considering dumping it in the Boston Harbor.

"Snow plows have moved enough snow to fill Gillette Stadium 90 times," Baker said.

Boston expects to spend double the $18 million it had projected to remove snow this year.

Meanwhile, all rail service has been suspended in Boston Tuesday. On Monday, 50 people were stranded on their morning commute after snow filled up the rails. And schools are closed, marking the eighth snow day this year.

For many, just clearing the snow from homes and businesses has become a big concern. Some roofs have caved in.

"It's like slow motion, watching the whole thing come down really slow. Scary, but we all made it out," one resident said.

Others are simply struggling to find places to put it.

"There is nowhere to go anymore," another resident lamented.

"Most people understand what can you do? You really can't control the weather," yet another Bostonian said.

Forecasters say more snow is possible on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the relentless winter weather is not just affecting Boston -- it's causing ripple effects across the country. Airlines canceled 2,000 flights on Monday.

After three storms in a little over two weeks, more than 20,000 flights have been canceled, leaving not just a region, but a country that's already weary of winter.
