A major winter storm brought heavy snow and strong winds to much of the Bay State.  Up to 2 feet of snow fell over interior Massachusetts, while winds gusted over 50 mph on Cape Cod and Nantucket.  Snowfall totals averaged 1 to 2 feet in Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, northern Worcester, northwest Middlesex and interior Essex Counties.  Amounts of 8 to 16 inches were common in southern Worcester County, with 4 to 8 inches in the Greater Boston area.  Amounts of 2 to 4 inches were reported across much of the South Shore, but the combination of snow and strong winds created a significant impact to travelers.  Northeast winds gusted to 58 mph in Provincetown, and Nantucket reported sustained winds of 40 mph with frequent gusts to 50 mph.  Most of the state experienced wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph during the height of the storm.  About 12,000 electric customers were left without power.   Nearly 200 flights were canceled at Logan International Airport because of the storm, and the airport was forced to briefly close twice for snow removal.One death was indirectly attributed to this storm, when an 87-year-old woman was killed in a car accident on Route 169 in Charlton.
