    The Boston Herald (http://bit.ly/1EJ7fyQ ) reports Walsh chastised thrill-seekers who’ve been filming themselves performing the frosty feat and then posting the videos on social media websites.

    Walsh says, “It’s a foolish thing to do, and you could kill yourself.”

    He says Boston “isn’t Loon Mountain,” a New Hampshire ski resort. He said Monday the stunts are dangerous as city workers struggle to clear snow-clogged streets and deal with snowbanks 10 feet high.

    The city has scrambled to keep roads clear after the record-breaking snowfalls.
