| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Snow accumulated to over 6 inches in parts of central and western Massachusetts before changing to sleet, freezing rain, and finally rain. State police responded to numerous reports of spinouts on Interstates 190, 290, and 495 as the combination of snow changing to freezing rain created very hazardous driving conditions. Some snowfall totals included: Granville, 7.5 inches; Ashburnham, 7.2 inches; Goshen, 6.5 inches; Huntington, North Amherst, and Lowell, all 6.0 inches. After a change to heavy rain, considerable urban and lowland flooding was reported, especially south of the Mass. Turnpike. Lowland flooding was reported along a small stream in Grafton, in Worcester County. Heavy rainfall occurred across central and eastern Massachusetts. Precipitation totals of one and one-half to three inches occurred, with a few places exceeding three inches. Some rainfall totals included: Plymouth, 3.54 inches; New Bedford, 3.42 inches; Foxboro, 3.10 inches; Maynard, 2.73 inches; West Medway, 2.67 inches; Natick, 2.58 inches; Taunton, 2.48 inches; and Worcester, 2.20 inches. |
