Boston residents are thinking up creative ways to battle cabin fever, as snow continues to accumulate throughout the city.
The city recorded 0.4 inches early Thursday morning, just after midnight, raising the season total thus far to 96.7 inches, according to the National Weather Service. This new figure surpasses the 1993-94 total moving this winter into second place for snowfall in one season ever.
Julius Gloeckner, originally from Germany, took advantage of the three feet of snow covering his backyard in of Cambridge, Mass., by going for a swim. He was not able to swim very far in the snow, so he just went through the motions in place. See the video of Gloeckner above.
Still, it was bold of Gloeckner, who had been an All-American swimmer for Louisiana State University for four years, to foray into the wintry chill with nothing on except for a speedo, swimming goggles, and a swim cap.
Gloeckner and his fiancée, Emily Weil, were stuck at home but they decided the the crummy weather was not going to get the best of them.
But, like the skier, not everyone is letting the snow get them down.
