Blinding snow squalls produced white-out conditions for a short time in many places in central and eastern Massachusetts. Thunder-snow was reported at both Hopkinton and Natick. Snow accumulations generally were less than a half inch. High winds occurred in Milton atop Blue Hill, where the Observatory recorded a peak gust to 62 mph and zero visibility in a snow squall. A few other places reporting near zero visibility in the snow included Marblehead, Westwood, Lexington, and Hopkinton. Westfield, in the Connecticut Valley, reported a peak gust to 56 mph. Other peak wind gusts included: Lawrence, 54 mph; Boston, 52 mph; Goshen, 50 mph; Falmouth, Nantucket, and Lexington, 49 mph. |
