Boston may be known for its freezing winters, but ten years ago the city experienced record-breaking snowfall.
Dubbed ‘Snowmageddon,’ a series of storms during the winter of 2015 covered the city halting school and work for many in the region. It started on January 26-27 with over 24 inches of snow, according to the Boston Globe. The day sticks out because it was the first of several storms that ended on Feb. 15.
A number of other historic snowy days in Boston in past years. Readers recently recalled the blizzard of 1978 that occurred during the Beanpot tournament at TD Garden. Bob R. from Brighton recalled, “the storm was bad and the T was shut down — it was a long, cold, windy and amusing walk home!” A February 2003 storm hit the Boston area with over 27 inches of snow making it the largest cumulative snowfall in history.
While Boston is experiencing some snow this winter, the numbers have not come close to 2015. On January 19 and 20 the city experienced around 5 inches of snowfall. This week, Boston may get flurries of less than 3 inches accompanied by freezing winds.
