Some people, believe it or not, like the snow.
A hero dressed as a Yeti has taken to the streets of Boston as the city is being hammered with two to three feet of snow in a historic blizzard.
Pictures of the furry giant have surfaced all over social media as people try to find a lighter side to the crippling snowstorm.
Beantown received about 14 inches of snow through Tuesday afternoon and was expecting another 12 inches or more.
Images of the arctic beast captured him sauntering around the city throughout the night.
The colder and snowier the weather became, the more frequently the pictures showed up online. The yeti’s Twitter account has also been trolling the masses freaking out over a snowstorm.
Many take large storms in stride, but many also forget how much fun they may have had on snow days as children — especially as cable news networks cover every accumulated inch as if it was one step closer to an apocalypse.
The Boston yeti reminds everyone that snow can be fun, even for adults.
“A hero dressed as a Yeti has taken to the streets of Boston as the city is being hammered with two to three feet of snow in a historic blizzard.”
Oh yes, so “historic”. Didn’t they get 5 feet of snow last year? I know we had at least 6 feet of snow almost once every year when I was a kid in Buffalo, NY.
Like Henry says, “they must think the people have the memory span of a head of cabbage”.
Agreed.
I liked this statement:

Yea and by the way, the big snowstorms in NY ALWAYS hit in January and February. NOT December. And this one is child’s play.
2 to 3 feet of snow is a joke in NY. It may scare Texans, but not New Yorkers. 😉
” ‘This is nothing,’ said Susanne Payot, a New York cabaret singer whose rehearsal Tuesday was canceled. ‘I don’t understand why the whole city shut down because of this.’ ”
We all felt that way.
It was a joke here. We only got 8 inches. (However, Suffolk Co. got 30 inches.) The storm never came as far west as they predicted. You should have heard them apologizing and making excuses this morning.

EXACTLY…. 2 – 3 feet of snow IS NOT HISTORIC, unless you’re an idiot.
Agreed.
“Remember back when snowstorms weren’t the end of the world?
They were actually…FUN?! Yeah me too.
