A weak low pressure system moved southeast of southern New England, bringing snow to much of southern New England.  While most of the area received at least an inch of snow, a mesoscale band set up along the south coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island resulting in incredible snowfall rates.  Eight to twelve inches of snow fell along the coast with five to eight inches falling on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
