Kathleen O'Donnell watched her kitty watching the snow on Beacon Hill this morning.
Catarina Maia took a look out her window and realized immediately she wasn't going anyplace any time soon in this most historic of historic Boston winters. We could get 18 inches out of this snow, but with drifts, God, who knows?

Winter of 1717
According to the New England Historical Society, 1717 had a series of snows so bad that nobody can agree when it started or ended.
Sounds familiar.
I now have no view out my kitchen window, bedroom windows, or office window. This is epic. Other sides of the house are relatively elevated as we live on a hill or we would be socked in on the first floor like my friend's house on the flat less than a block away.
Even the NWS has given up hope
Did anyone else read their long term weather update today?
"Next chance of warmth: sometime spring into summer"
It's hopeless!
It's hopeless!
Lots of weight
That's a lot of weight pressing on those windows - even if not enough to break the glass outright, it could damage the seals that keep air out from between the double panes.
That happened
to a relative's house in Vermont: the snow drifted up so much one bad winter ('07-08?), it blocked the second-story dining room window and then broke it. She came home to two very confused and upset dogs, who wanted to know why the white monster had attacked them.
