Wonderful deep winter scene.

Yes it would. Even if PWM misses the record, it has been a pretty special March.

Yes. Bangor: 41.5", 1956 Boston: 38.9", 1993 Concord: 38.3", 1956 Portland: 49.0", 1993 Worcester: 44.1", 1993

Updated March snowfall figures for select New England sites: Bangor: 31.9" (6th snowiest March) Boston: 21.8" (7th snowiest March) Concord: 28.1" (11th snowiest March) Portland: 31.6" (8th snowiest March) Worcester: 40.0" (2nd snowiest March)

However, considering the reality that both precipitation amounts and snowfall amounts can vary significantly over short distances, more rigorous quality control would be needed before a determination is made.

Thanks Jerry. I will post updated numbers later today.

Thanks for this updated information. It's not often PWM gets 30" or more snow in March.

000 NOUS41 KBOX 141250 CCA PNSBOX CTZ002>004-MAZ002>024-026-RIZ001>008-152000- Public Information Statement National Weather Service Taunton MA 827 AM EDT Wed Mar 14 2018 ...BLIZZARD OF MARCH 13 2018... Blizzard conditions were reached at many locations across southeastern New England during the storm on March 13. The definition of a blizzard is that falling and/or blowing snow reduces visibility to below 1/4 mile along with sustained winds or winds that frequently gust to 35 mph or more...and that these are the predominant conditions for a period of 3 consecutive hours. When reviewing whether a particular observation location had blizzard conditions, we counted visibilities equal to 1/4 mile, since that is quite low for an automated visibility sensor to detect. We also made some subjective decisions. For example, at Marshfield, MA, there were significant wind sensor outages, but mesonet data from Duxbury Bay were used as a proxy and indicated nearly continuous gusts at or above 35 mph during that time period. At Martha`s Vineyard, there was a 3-hour wind data outage, but mesonet data at Vineyard Haven indicated continuous gusts at or above 35 mph during that period. At Plymouth, blizzard criteria was met just before a complete data outage occurred, lasting most of the day, which made the duration undeterminable. The following observation sites were determined to have had a blizzard... HYANNIS, MA............10 Hours 35 Minutes...from 730 AM to 605 PM MARSHFIELD, MA......... 9 Hours..............from 855 AM to 555 PM FALMOUTH, MA........... 8 Hours 40 Minutes...from 715 AM to 1055 AM and from 1155 AM to 455 PM MARTHA`S VINEYARD, MA.. 8 Hours 22 Minutes...from 800 AM to approximately 422 PM BOSTON, MA..............6 Hours..............from 840 AM to 240 PM NEWPORT, RI.............4 Hours 20 Minutes...from 850 AM to 110 PM PLYMOUTH, MA............>2 Hours 53 Minutes from 732 AM to 1025 AM but then power outage $$ Field

That's hugely impressive. Worcester has a real shot at setting a new record.

Select Monthly Snowfall Totals for New England: Boston: 21.8” (7th snowiest March) Concord: 28.1” (11th snowiest March) Portland: 28.8” (11th snowiest March) Worcester: 40.0” (2nd snowiest March) March Monthly Snowfall Records for those Cities: Boston: 38.9”, 1993 Concord: 38.3”, 1956 Portland: 49.0”, 1993 Worcester: 44.1”, 1993

The monthly total is now 21.8" making March 2018 the 7th snowiest March on record.

An individual who, along with Eric Fisher, who were "asleep at the switch" during the storm, didn't see the prolonged/intense banding on radar that extended across Wilmington (or didn't properly understand how to read the radar) and decided to take it upon themselves to tweet to the general public questioning Ray's (40/70 Benchmark) snowfall total. https://twitter.com/ncoramwx/status/973752308914892800 Neither of them was in Wilmington at any time during the storm. Neither of them undertook any degree of due diligence to verify the snowfall amount. They didn't even make a minimal effort. They simply and rashly threw it out without even bothering to understand the measurement (i.e., examine the radar loops during the day, consider mesoscale effects, etc.) and went public about it. Ray deserved far better. For all my time here at AmericanWx (and EasternWx before it), Ray has been dedicated and meticulous. He doesn't cut corners or inflate snowfall amounts. Ray is a real asset to this Board and to the New England weather community. I very much hope he won't get discouraged by what happened yesterday.

14.8"

Very impressive.

With yesterday's 14.5"snow, March 2018 is now the 7th snowiest March on record in Boston. The most March snowfall is as follows: 1. 38.9", 1993 2. 33.0", 1916 3. 31.2", 1956 4. 22.9", 1967 5. 22.3", 1960 6. 21.9", 1906 7. 21.5", 2018

It's sad.

Ray is reliable. Anyone here knows it. I am not sure why Coram and Fisher are making an issue of it. Perhaps, had they been watching the radar, they would have a better understanding of how the storm played out.

Congratulations. It was an awesome storm up your way.

A blizzard occurred today at several locations across southeastern New England. The definition of a blizzard is that falling and/or blowing snow reduced visibility to below 1/4 mile along with sustained winds or winds that frequently gust to 35 mph or more...and that these are the predominant conditions for a period of 3 consecutive hours. When reviewing whether a particular observation location had blizzard conditions, we counted visibilities equal to 1/4 mile, since that is quite low for an automated visibility sensor to detect. Blizzard criteria were still occurring at some locations as of this writing, so durations will need to be finalized on Wednesday. At Boston, MA, blizzard criteria were met, starting at 830 AM. At Martha`s Vineyard, MA, blizzard criteria were met, starting at 800 AM. There was a 3-hour wind-data outage, but mesonet data at Vineyard Haven indicated continuous gusts at or above 35 mph during that period. At Marshfield, MA, blizzard criteria were met, starting at 855 AM. There was a wind-data outage between 915 AM and 1155 AM, but mesonet data from Duxbury were used as a proxy and indicated nearly continuous gusts at or above 35 mph during that time period. At Plymouth, MA blizzard criteria were met, starting at 732 AM and continuing through 1025 AM and likely beyond, but there was a prolonged data outage after that time. At Hyannis, MA blizzard criteria were met, starting at 730 AM. At Newport, RI, blizzard criteria were met, starting at 850 AM. $$ Field

Yes. March 11-14.

Many areas around Boston saw much more.
