As the Americans here probably know, eastern Massachusetts including Boston has gotten spectacular amounts of snow the last 20 days or so. This is starting to cause damage: porch collapses, some more serious damage:

Meanwhile, no such problems down in the south where the island is (southern Rhode Island): the last storm was not really a storm: we just a convergence zone near Boston; we got 1/5 the snow from this that they did, even though it was all snow. Plus, we got half the snow in the Blizzard 2+ weeks ago, and the wind blew it all off the roofs including ours.
More snow coming during the next week.
