Suffice it to say that the snow in Boston has lost its appeal. The three-week onslaught has hampered road and transit travel, forced court closures and tested law firms' ability to keep their businesses running.

Boston has received nearly 66 inches of snow starting with the Jan. 27 blizzard, according to National Weather Service data. The city's average for an entire season is 44 inches.

Ongoing Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority delays and closures, stemming from its aging fleet and weather-related glitches on above-ground lines, have created hurdles for lawyers, judges and staffers trying to do their jobs.
