Historical snowfall totals

By

February 10, 2013

I put together a list of snowfall totals as I have them this morning. Scroll down as this is no particular order. This has been a top 10 storm for many people and the biggest snowstorm ever in terms of snow totals for others. Portland, ME set a new all-time snow total record. While we did have blizzard warnings in effect for much of the storm as a point of definition we never officially had a blizzard. We had blizzard conditions, but they didn’t last long enough for the storm to qualify as a blizzard. According to the definition, we would have needed to have 35 mile per hour wind, combined with one-quarter mile visibility (or less) and it had to have lasted for 3 hours or longer. That did not occur in this storm, so imagine if this had been a blizzard!

BOSTON, MA - April 03, 2019: - A woman protects herself from the wind while passing through Copley Square in Boston, MA on April 03, 2019. ( A rapidly developing weather system will undergo a meteorological process called bombogenesis Tuesday night as it passes to the east of New England.
This term simply means that a storm intensifies very quickly. The storm was gathering strength off the southeast coast early Tuesday. Most of the rain will fall for about 12 hours from roughly 9 p.m. Tuesday to midmorning Wednesday. It’s not really cold enough for a snowstorm, but, if the precipitation comes down hard enough in the early morning hours of Wednesday, there could be a quick coating of snow. The most likely place for this to happen would be across the Worcester Hills and perhaps even interior southeastern Massachusetts.) (Craig F. Walker/Globe Staff) section: Metro reporter:

BOSTON, MA - March 05, 2019: - A woman walk on Pearl Street in Boston, MA on March 05, 2019.
The snow that fell Monday is the precursor to a couple very cold days. This time of the year average temperatures are in the lower 40s, and we’re expecting temperatures will stay in the 20s.
An arctic front will cross the region on Tuesday night and usher in two days of unseasonably chilly air. Highs both Wednesday and Thursday will not make it out of the mid-20s. The fresh snow cover will keep temperatures down. With clear skies during the overnight hours temperatures will rapidly fall into the single digits and low teens. (Craig F.
