| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Low pressure moved eastward from Pennsylvania into the Atlantic , and passed to the south of Cape Cod bringing heavy snow to western, central, and northeast Massachusetts. The snow came in two rounds. Snow began around mid-afternoon on Saturday, March 6th, and accumulated at rates of at least one inch per hour in parts of Worcester, Middlesex, and Essex Counties. By late evening, totals ranged from 6 to 8 inches in these areas.The second round of snow began early in the morning of Sunday, March 7th, and ended by afternoon. Some of the highest amounts reported, as final storm totals, included 11.5 inches in West Newbury, 11 inches in Gardner, 10 inches in Methuen, Dracut, Woburn, and Pepperell, 9 inches in Harvard, Charlemont, and Chesterfield, 8 inches in Walpole, and 6 inches in East Boston (not Logan Airport). The storm produced poor driving conditions which resulted in several minor accidents. However, since the storm occurred over a weekend, its effects were minimized. |
