Boston Students Navigate Snowbanks, Ice In Return To School

"Literally ice everywhere," one Brighton High School student said. "I believe there was a sidewalk, but I couldn't see it so I just slipped and fell backwards."

She was OK, but realized right away that vacation is over.

"It's not good. I'd rather stay home," she said.
