BOSTON — A year ago today, it started to get snowy around here. VERY SNOWY.
The first of our blockbustah' storms began January 26th and didn’t end until early on the 28th. The result was 2-3 feet of snow across much of central and eastern Mass and southeastern NH. Though Boston officially reported 24.6” of snow (at Logan), a short distance away in South Boston reported a whopping 31.0”! Over three feet was measured by weather spotters in Hudson, Auburn and Lunenburg – our jackpot towns.
