| episode_narrative | Snowfall accumulations of 4 to 8 inches were reported across the eastern portion of the state, including Cape Cod. This snowfall, although it was of the fluffy variety, added to the headaches of snow removal crews which were still clearing away up to two feet of snow left by the "Blizzard of '96" just two days earlier. Snow on the ground reach two to three feet and all communities, especially cities, had many problems keeping residential streets passable. Boston had 5.4 inches and the snow on the ground total set a new record of 32 inches at noon on January 10th. The old record was 29 inches on February 7, 1978. Maynard and Billerica both had 6 inches from this event and the total depth on the ground reached 35 inches at Maynard. At Hingham, the snowfall totalled 6 inches and the depth on the ground reached 32 inches, beating a record of 31 inches set on February 7, 1978. Even at Plymouth, where 7 inches of snow fell, the total snow depth reached 28 inches. On Cape Cod, Barnstable reported the maximum snowfall from this event of 9 inches, while Eastham had 8 inches. On Martha's Vineyard, there was 4 inches at Vineyard haven. In northeast Massachusetts, Newbury had 9 inches and Gloucester had 8 inches. Southwest of Boston, West Medway reported 7 inches. |
