Maybe its usage is supposed to be reminiscent of days of yore (by which I mean last winter). I also have no idea what Boston is looking like right now.
Here's a usage question, though: as someone else pointed out, "blizzard" denotes high winds and low visibility. Is there a term (besides the somewhat tepid "winter storm") for a storm that doesn't feature high winds but does dump an abnormal amount of snow?
