As Boston was blanketed with powder Monday, closing the city’s schools and complicating everybody’s morning commute, Nantucket got walloped with extreme winds and nearly a foot of snow thanks to Winter Storm Mars.

The blizzard sure made a mess of things.
A few streets in Nantucket flooded as a result of the storm.

The winds were intense, even for the burliest of Green Bay Packers fans.
But as wild as it was, some dedicated folks still showed up for work.

The sea was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.
