January 16th Snowstorm Recap: Snowfall Totals

The area saw an accumulating snow event beginning early, early morning starting around 3-5AM lasting into the mid morning hours before snow tapered off and we were left with lingering freezing rain and snow showers. Many schools closed due to the perfect timing so students had the day off. It was not a huge storm by any means but enough to make snow lovers satisfied. Snow accumulations turned out to be what I called for, around 2-5 inches. I definitely nailed this one! :) The highest reported snowfall was in Leverett in Franklin County where they picked up 4.8" of snow. Overall, snow totals were pretty much uniform - there weren't many variations between towns here or across the entire Southern New England. Here are snowfall totals reported by the National Weather Service throughout Western Massachusetts:
