It's no secret that Dustin Pedroia isn't the tallest ballplayer in the world. Indeed, he's only the tallest person in his own family by a few centimeters.

But WGBH has decided to refer to Pedroia's height in a novel new way: by measuring the region's recent influx of snow based on the second baseman's stature. Personally, I've never been so interested in the weather.
