November Nor'easter Recap: Snowfall Totals

Many places in Western Massachusetts saw their first snowflakes of the season thanks to an early season nor'easter. We saw accumulations mainly along and south of the Mass Pike but north of it we had a hard time accumulating. The reason behind this was that there was too much dry air in place due to low dew point values. So even though the radar showed snow, none of it was reaching the ground (virga). The coast of Connecticut ended up as the jackpot where up to a foot of snow fell! Impressive for November and we broke many daily snowfall records across Southern New England. Monson had the highest snowfall total in Western Massachusetts with 7.5" of snow.
