| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A developing low pressure system south of Long Island spread bands of heavy snow across southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod, and the Islands. Six to nine inches of snow fell from just south of Boston to northern Rhode Island and southeastward to Cape Cod. This was a quick-hitting storm with snow accumulation rates up to 2 inches per hour. Most of the snowfall occurred during a 6-hour period. Some snowfall amounts included: Cohasset, 9.5 inches; Norwell, 9 inches; Taunton, 8.6 inches; Hingham and Blue Hill in Milton, both 8.0 inches; North Quincy, Norwood, and Stoughton, 7 inches; Attleboro, 6.5 inches; West Dennis, 6.3 inches; and Yarmouth, Acushnet, and New Bedford, 6 inches. Numerous minor traffic accidents were reported. An 18-car pile-up forced police to close Route 3 in Braintree for about 20 minutes. In another chain reaction collision, another 18-car pile-up on Route 3 in Duxbury closed the highway for 45 minutes. A 10-car collision closed a section of Interstate 95 near Dedham at 7 AM. |
