Snow Totals Massachusetts climbed sharply as a significant winter storm moved through the region late Sunday into Monday, bringing heavy snowfall, difficult travel, and widespread disruptions, according to the National Weather Service. The storm affected nearly all parts of the state, with many communities reporting double-digit snow totals as bands of steady snow persisted for hours.
Preliminary Snow Totals Massachusetts showed the highest accumulations in central and northeastern areas, where snowfall exceeded a foot in several towns, weather service officials said. Coastal communities generally saw slightly lower totals, though still enough to cause hazardous road conditions and delays. Boston and surrounding suburbs recorded substantial snowfall as the system lingered over eastern Massachusetts.
State and local officials urged residents to limit travel while crews worked to clear roads. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey encouraged employers to allow remote work where possible, citing public safety concerns tied to the storm and snow-covered roadways.
Transportation officials reported flight delays and cancellations at Logan International Airport as snow removal operations continued throughout the day. Public transit services also experienced interruptions, particularly during the heaviest snowfall overnight and early Monday.
The National Weather Service said the variation in Snow Totals Massachusetts was driven by shifting snow bands and temperature differences during the storm. Forecasters noted that snowfall rates intensified at times, contributing to rapid accumulation and reduced visibility.
Municipal crews across the state remained focused on plowing, treating roads, and clearing sidewalks as the storm moved east. Emergency management officials advised residents to stay informed through official channels as cleanup efforts continue and temperatures remain cold.
Snow totals in Massachusetts are expected to be finalized after reports from all observation sites are reviewed. The story is developing.
