| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Low pressure moved from the southeastern United States to a position off the Mid-Atlantic coast. Heavy snow and a pocket of freezing rain affected much of the state. A moderate ice storm occurred across much of Hampden County. The maximum ice accretion reported was 5/8 inch in Agawam. A few scattered power outages were reported. Heavy snow occurred across Massachusetts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Middlesex Counties in the Greater Boston area west and northwest across Worcester and Franklin Counties. Maximum snowfall totals reached 10 inches in parts of Middlesex and Worcester Counties. Some totals included: Princeton, 10 inches; Sudbury and Clinton, 9.5 inches; Shrewsbury, 9.0 inches; Worcester, 8.8 inches; Westboro, 8.4 inches; Rowe, Shelburne, and Bernardston, 8.0 inches; and Blue Hill, in Milton, 7.0 inches. Boston's Logan International Airport had 3.5 inches. This storm resulted in many school closings and a difficult Friday morning commute and poor driving conditions in the heavy snow and freezing rain areas. |
