The Blizzard of 2026 left more than three feet of snow in southeastern Massachusetts Monday.

Here are some of the remarkable weather statisitics from February 23, 2026
This was the biggest snowstorm in the recorded history of Providence, Rhode Island with more than 37.9 inches.
The city absolutely smashed the prior record set back in the Blizzard of 1978.
Boston snow
The final total in Boston was 17.1 inches. That puts the city over 60 inches for the winter, the first above average snowfall season in four years.
This is also the most snow Boston has received in a season since that insane winter of 2014-2015.
This storm fell just short of another top 10 snowstorm in Boston's history. It missed by 4.4 inches.
Worcester snow
This certainly wasn't one of Worcester's biggest storms, but the 16.2 inches from this nor'easter put the city well over six feet for the winter season so far.
This is Worcester's snowiest winter season since 2016-2017 when they recorded 78.3 inches.
