“This isn’t Loon Mountain. This is the city of Boston.”

Boston residents, so far, have paid little heed. Using the hashtag #BostonBlizzardChallenge, they have been sharing videos of themselves diving, sometimes from first floor windows, into the huge banks of snow that have accumulated in the streets below.
