Record snowfall in Massachusetts

Boston breaks 110-year-old record.

A powerful nor’easter accompanied by dangerously cold temperatures left behind more than two feet of snow.

The storm dumped 10.6 inches of snow in Boston on Thursday, setting a new record for the day set in 1904 when the city received 8 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

Boxford reported 24.3 inches, and Topsfield 23.5 inches.

Governor Patrick urged homeowners to safely remove snow from rooftops before Sunday to avoid the added weight that would come from rain mixing in with a foot or more of snow.

Boston is expected to reach zero degrees tonight, just four degrees shy of the city’s record low for the date, set on Jan. 4, 1981.
