Why does Hester Prynne return to Boston?

No it was not because tiger woods was there. It was because Hester wanted to be with Dimmesdale. In the end she is buried with him and that is why she never took off the scarlet letter. When Dimmesdale confesses, he basically says that they will never be together again because he was going to hell, while she, Hester, was going to heaven. Hester does not want to believe it so what she does is that she never takes off the scarlet letter because she does not want to be redeemed, she wants to keep the letter on her breast so when she dies she will meet up with him in hell or wherever it is the Dimmesdale was going. By dying in the same situation that Dimmesdale did, she has hope that they will meet up together again be it hell or heaven. That is why she returns to Boston. She does it so she can be buried with him because she has hope that they'll be together again in the afterlife.

How much snow did Boston receive in the winter of 2010 2011?

It really varies; being in close proximity to the ocean, Boston's weather is very changeable. The city has certainly received large amounts of snow at certain times, such as the Blizzard of 1978 that paralyzed the city with nearly three feet of snow. But blizzards and extreme storms are not typical of Boston at all. In fact, most of the bigger storms tend to stay in the central and western part of the state, or go to the north of Boston.

Over the past several years, weather patterns went from one extreme to another-- in January 2011, the area received 38 inches of snow from a series of storms; but by late 2011, there was hardly any snow at all, much to the chagrin of ski-lodges; in fact, temperatures were unseasonably warm from September to December. So, while there have been months when Boston received 20-30" of snow, there were also months when hardly a dusting of snow was seen. If you are traveling to Boston, check the weather reports before you make the trip-- you may find plenty of snow, or you may find none at all.
