Snowballs and strikes
The epic snowfall in Boston this month has set records for the region, with more than 58 inches of snow falling in February alone.
And Fenway Park, home of baseball’s Boston Red Sox, has been turned into quite the winter wonderland by the onslaught, with the field and stands barely recognisable as one of America’s most famous sports venues.

With the season less than seven weeks away, the Red Sox themselves are in Florida preparing for Spring Training, and the team is clearly sympathising with their fans’ weather woes.
Bostonians, this is what grass looks like… Enjoy vicariously through #SoxSpring. pic.twitter.com/Ze486eD6gh
