Boston’s Mayor Says “Knock it Off!”

The Mayor of Boston, Martin Walsh, is not amused.

If you think I'm referring to all the snowfall his city has gotten over the last month (nearly 7 feet), you're mistaken.

The mayor warned people who are recording themselves diving headfirst out of windows and doors into the deep snow to "stop their nonsense right now!"

This isn't Loon Mountain, this is the city of Boston, where we're trying to remove snow off the streets and it becomes very dangerous.

The last thing we want to do is respond to an emergency call where someone jumped out of the window because they thought it was a funny thing to do.

 

Last year, it was the Ice Bucket Challenge. Now it's The Boston Blizzard Challenge. Participants strip down to their underwear or swimsuit and dive into Boston's huge snowdrifts. Then, their video is posted on social media under #BostonBlizzardChallenge.

Take a look:

And now, the mayor...

C'mon, Mr. Mayor, they're just having a wicked good time. Although, it doesn't seem to be wicked smart.
