| episode_narrative | Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches combined with rapid snowmelt to result in considerable urban street flooding and ponding of water in low lying areas. There were also many reports of basement flooding. The problem was aggravated by storm drains which became clogged by snow and ice. Temperatures rose rapidly from the 20's and 30's into the 40's and 50's, which melted much of the 8 to 15 inches of snow which was on the ground. Scattered thunderstorms also accompanied the heavy rain. In southeastern Massachusetts, strong southeast winds of 40 to 50 mph were also reported.The most severe street flooding occurred in Greater Boston, where many cars were submerged or stalled in low lying areas. In Boston, the Callahan Tunnel flooded, stranding several vehicles. Several cars were submerged in flood waters when underpasses on Route 128 in Dedham and Needham flooded out. No injuries were reported. |
