The MBTA experienced a major crisis in winter of 2015.
 This was the snowiest winter in Boston's history, with six weeks of blizzards and heavy snowstorms.
 In February alone, 64.8 inches of snow fell in Boston.
 The MBTA's train tracks were so frozen and covered with snow that the trains could not drive.
 Kyle Scott Clauss of "The Curmudgeon's Guide to the MBTA" joked that "During the Snowpocalpyse of 2015 ... the T's newly installed countdown clocks all read "NOW I AM BECOME DEATH" and workers had to literally set the rails ablaze to keep them from freezing...."
The General Manager of the MBTA, Beverly Scott, shut down all rail service (all trains and trolleys) for over 36 hours.
 The MBTA had to hire hundreds of workers to shovel snow and chip ice off the tracks.
 On February 11, Scott announced that she would resign from her job, as of April 11, 2015.
