Carver, MA: 16.5″
Hanson, MA: 15.5″

Taunton, MA: 13.3″
West Plymouth, MA: 13.3″
Westport, MA: 13.0″

On the Cape and islands, wind gusts measured up over 40 mph, including gusts of 52 mph Saturday night in Nantucket, though the snow never reached official blizzard conditions. The snow made travel treacherous across southern New England nonetheless.
A map from the National Weather Service’s Boston office shows how the snowfall was distributed.

As Massachusetts digs itself out Sunday, with potentially subzero wind chills and a few more inches of snow reportedly on the way, it’s probably best to put on your boots.
