The wider storm

A coastal storm passed south of southern New England on Saturday with an inverted trough extending NW over the region. This led to widespread 3-5 inches of snow in central and eastern MA, eastern CT, and RI. However, there were two heavy bands that set up over northeast MA and eastern CT/RI which dropped narrow swaths of 9-13 inches of snow. Impacts were more limited because it was a weekend.
