| episode_narrative | A major winter storm brought heavy snow and strong winds to southern New England, dumping 1 to 3 feet of snow over a large area as it tracked slowly off the coast. In Massachusetts, snowfall amounts averaged1 to 2 feet across most of the state, with as little as 6 to 12 inches near Cape Cod and the Islands, where most of the snow fell early in the storm before an eventual change to rain. Pockets of 28 to 35 inch amounts fell near Interstate 95 in Boston's southwest suburbs, as well as to the north of Boston from Everett to Peabody. The highest snowfall total reported was 36 inches in Peabody.Seas as high as 30 feet just off the eastern Massachusetts coast combined with an astronomically high tide to produce minor coastal flooding from Cape Ann through Scituate and Hull to Provincetown.A peak wind gust of 58 mph was reported at Provincetown during the height of the storm.There was one death indirectly attributed to the storm. A commuter-rail worker was struck by a freight train as he was clearing snow from the tracks near the Wellesley Hills station.Official snowfall totals from the storm included 25.9 inches at the National Weather Service Office in Taunton, 24.3 inches at Blue Hill Observatory in Milton, 16.9 inches at Logan International Airport in Boston, and 14.2 inches at Worcester Airport.Other snowfall totals, as reported by trained spotters, included 32 inches in Beverly; 30 inches in Topsfield; 29 inches in Everett; 27 inches in Swampscott; 25 inches in Malden and Wakefield; 24 inches in Brockton, East Mansfield, Foxborough, Needham, Randolph, and North Andover; 23 inches in Beverly, Manchester, Reading, East Cambridge, Westwood, and Norwood; 21 inches in Ashfield, Easton, Dover, Dedham, Walpole, and Jamaica Plain; 18 inches in Monson, West Brookfield, Stoneham, Bridgewater, and Seekonk; 14 inches in Leverett, Montgomery, Springfield, Warren, Fitchburg, Littleton, Billerica, Framingham, Gloucester, and Somerset; 12 inches in Whately, Ware, Worthington, Longmeadow, Southwick, Granville, Leicester, Spencer, Southbridge, Tewksbury, Lincoln, and Duxbury; 11 inches in West Falmouth; 8 inches in Eastham; 7 inches on Nantucket; and 6 inches in West Tisbury. |
