Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh
"I understand a lot of people are calling. We are going get to every street in the city of Boston," Walsh said. "It's important that we stay focused and not let the frustration get the best of us as we move forward. I know a lot of people are just tired and don't know what to do with this amount of snow. We're in very unusual circumstances."
The mayor didn't provide any other details on the snow-related death, though he said he believed the person died yesterday and that it was "over shoveling."
Walsh also scolded adults he said were reportedly jumping from windows into snow piles for fun, which he called a "foolish thing to do."
"You can kill yourself," Walsh said. "I'm asking people to stop the nonsense ... This isn't Loon Mountain. This is the city of Boston."
