Low pressure centered off the Virginia coast intensified into a strong Noreaster as it tracked about 75 miles southeast of Nantucket Sunday afternoon, 12 February 2006.  This strong Noreaster produced blizzard conditions, heavy snow, and coastal flooding across southeast New England.  The accumulating snow began around 6 AM and ended from west to east between 5 PM and 8 PM.Strong winds brought down tree limbs and wires, and reduced visibility in blowing snow to less than 1/4 mile at times.  In Marshfield, blizzard conditions were met from 10 AM to 3 PM.  Snowfall amounts across Massachusetts varied from around 6 inches across western locations...to between 1 and 1.5 feet across central and eastern locations.In addition to the snow and wind, coastal flooding was reported at Oak Bluffs, various coastal communities in Plymouth county, on Nantucket, and in Winthrop.  The flooding caused roads to close in these communities.  This snowstorm broke records in Massachusetts.  The Boston Logan International Airport recording site measured 17.5 inches of snow, which is a record snowfall amount for the date, and the 11th greatest snow amount produced by a snowstorm since climate records began in Boston.  The snowstorm produced the record daily maximum amount of snow for the date of 16.9 inches at the Worcester Airport.No known injuries directly resulted from this winter storm.
