I don't think so....its just a bit better retention than Wilmington...though I haven't seen much of that, either.
1.5" in Chelsea...heading home to the puddles.
I'm not saying its a bad snowfall spot, period...I mean relative to surrounding areas.
This area did not jack in 2/1....south had more, as it usually does....or north.
I can not name one major event in the 2.5 yrs that I have lived here, in which the latitude from Wilmington to Methuen benefited me.
Not one...zero....its hurt in several.
