    What caused all the damage? That looks like post-hurricane stuff, with snow added for more misery.

    There's no such thing as a cheap boat.

    If I had to guess, the weight of the snow sank them. From what I have heard, people in snow country either haul their boats and store them on land or have covered docks. If those are in the DC area, they probably never saw this coming.

    This one is a NOAA research vessel:

    Ice like that on the upper decks and super structure can capsize a boat. Especially in rough seas.

    Looks like they were covered like the other boats until the roof fell due to the weight of the snow.
