Low pressure strengthened rapidly as it tracked from the mid Atlantic coast to Cape Cod. The season's first winter storm brought snow, sleet and freezing rain to interior sections of Massachusetts and heavy rain with strong northeast winds along the coast.
Snow began in western Massachusetts during the evening of the 13th and reached the coast by midnight. Milder air coming off the ocean caused the snow to change to sleet and freezing rain during the day on the 14th from the Mass Turnpike region into the Merrimack Valley, and to all rain in greater Boston and points south. Temperatures fell sharply late in the day and during the evening, causing a flash freeze and icy travel conditions. Precipitation changed back to snow before ending around midnight on the 15th.
The highest snowfall totals, on the order of 6 to 12 inches, were observed from the east slopes of the Berskhires to the Route 2 corridor and into the Merrimack Valley. Although snowfall totals only averaged 2 to 5 inches farther to the south, the combination of snow and ice resulted in hazardous travel conditions. Dozens of minor accidents were reported.
Official snowfall totals included 9.8 inches at Worcester Airport, 2.5 inches at Logan Airport in Boston, 2.1 inches at the National Weather Service office in Taunton, and 1.6 inches at Blue Hill Observatory in Milton.
Some of the higher snowfall totals, as reported by trained spotters and cooperative observers, included 13 inches in Ashfield, 12 inches in Greenfield, 11 inches in Goshen, 10 inches in Charlemont and Haverhill, 9 inches in Chester, Huntington, Pepperell, and Townsend, 8 inches in Turners Falls, Lowell, and Georgetown, and 6 inches in Holyoke, West Brookfield, Fitchburg, Hudson, Concord, and Andover.
Strong Northeast winds gusted as high as 50 mph from the Worcester Hills and Merrimack Valley to the South Coast, Cape Cod and the Islands. Nantucket Airport reported a peak sustained wind of 41 mph.
