Snow over the weekend shattered records to make this winter Boston 's snowiest ever - but Mother Nature might not be done yet . The city awoke Monday yet again to its accustomed blanket of white - but this time it had a special significance , as the latest 2.9 inches pushed the city into unprecedented territory of 108.6 inches in one season . But , though temperatures in Massachusetts are regularly above freezing now , there could still be new flurries to take the record even higher before spring sets in .

Meanwhile , flights to and from Boston 's Logan Airport were canceled . It 's been a brutal winter for many people across the East Coast of the United States with non-stop snow storms . However , Boston 's residents have begun to recover from the plummeting temperatures which fell to around zero . Matt Doody , a meteorologist at the weather service told The Boston Globe the record-breaking figures were 'pretty impressive . ' Foot upon foot of unrelenting snow did little to brighten the spirits of Boston 's residents - but it did have one silver lining .

In the midst of the city 's St Patrick 's day parade on Sunday , mayor Marty Walsh invited the masked figure to pose in front of a City of Boston backdrop and declared him 'interim mayor ' . However , Walsh did feel compelled to step in moments after the prank and clarify ' I love Boston and am here to stay ' . Only kidding : Boston 's actual mayor Marty Walsh , left , soon stepped in to clarify that he was n't being replaced by a mythical figure .
