Low pressure over the Carolinas strengthened as it tracked over southeast Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bay. This winter storm brought heavy snow and sleet to all but the immediate south coast, where a windswept heavy rain fell and resulted in urban and small stream flooding. Snow eventually changed to a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain in the interior and to all rain near the coast. Snowfall totals of 6 to 14 inches were widely observed.
The region northwest of Boston was especially impacted by the storm. Those portions of Interstates 93 and 495 were littered with spinouts, rollovers, and cars off the road but no serious injuries were reported.
Near the south coast, significant urban flooding closed several roads in New Bedford and Fall River. Small stream flooding was reported in Dartmouth. Wolf Plain Brook in Rehoboth, the Satucket River in East Bridgewater, and Accord Brook in Hingham also rose out of their banks and produced minor flooding of nearby areas.
Official snowfall totals included 16.9 inches in Worcester, 8.5 inches at Blue Hill Observatory in Milton, 8.1 inches at Logan International Airport in Boston, and 6.0 inches at the National Weather Service office in Taunton.
Other snowfall totals, as reported by cooperative observers and trained spotters, included 19 inches in Ashfield, 14 inches in Chester, Huntington, Westford, Lowell, and Newburyport, 12 inches in Shelburne, Holyoke, Easthampton, Ashburnham, Leominster, Maynard, and Reading, 10 inches in Sunderland, Amherst, Agawam, Boylston, Shirley, Wakefield, Salem, and Marblehead, 8 inches in Longmeadow, Clinton, Concord, Framingham, and Walpole, and 6 inches in Randolph, Norton, and Brockton.
