The January 26-27th 2015 Blizzard was just that for Harwich, MA. A storm that was originally thought to have brought taint and rain to The outer Cape Cod area, never saw a drop of rain. We got 30.4" of snow, maybe a bit more in certain areas of the region, but we stayed all snow and never went to rain. I read some of that thread a week ago. Man everyone was down on the event three days ahead of time.

Yeah Cape Cod, MA had wind gusts reach 120mph in Eastham, like a mini vortex with microburst potential wind damage.

Probably the benchmark storm ever for Harwich, MA was the Blizzard of 2005. The Blizzard of January 26-27th 2015 was a close second, but nothing will compare to that mega band that hit interior SE MA with 7-8" of snow in 75 minutes time. Snowfall rates were close to 10" in that band. We had several bands reach 5"/hour here on the Cape as well during that blizzard. By 12am midnight on the 23rd we had 12" of snow in an 8 hour period, after that time we had another 23" within another 15 hour period. Extremely amazing for sure.

my Favorite blizzard of the past was just this past winter, Harwich, MA got roughly 30" of wind blasted snow, the snow pack lasted so long that when my brother came home from college for February we made a giant snow man, about ten feet high. LOL, I'm going through the archives for that storm now.
