Low pressure tracking from the Ohio Valley to the coast of southern New England brought heavy snow to much of the Bay State, with the exception of the south coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands where only 2 to 5 inches of snow fell.  Most places ended up with 6 to 8 inches of snow from the storm, but as much as 10 inches fell across northern Massachusetts.  The storm, which coincided with the beginning of the Preidents' Day holiday weekend and school vacation week, snarled traffic on major highways and created treacherous driving conditions.  Dozens of accidents were reported, many of which were due to excessive speed.  At Logan International Airport in Boston, where 8 inches of snow fell, about 60 percent of the scheduled flights in and out of the airport were canceled at the height of the storm.Some snowfall totals include 10 inches in Athol and Methuen; 9 inches in Erving,  Westborough, Tyngsboro, and Woburn; 8 inches in Northampton, Palmer, Deerfield, Ashburnham, North Andover,  Newburyport, Chelmsford, Norwood, and Norton; 7 inches in Springfield, Grafton, Hyde Park, and Stoughton; and 6 inches in Foxboro, Easton, Needham, and Belchertown.
