Winter Storm in Southern Plymouth, Massachusetts

Winter Storm January 4, 2018 · Southern Plymouth, Massachusetts

What the National Weather Service wrote

Six inches of snow fell across Southern Plymouth County.

The wider storm

Low pressure moved north from the Florida coast and deepened, passing southeast of Nantucket on Thursday January 4. The storm reached its lowest pressure and strongest pressure gradient as it passed Southern New England. This brought heavy snow and damaging winds to Massachusetts, and caused near-blizzard conditions at Boston, Worcester, and Plymouth. The strong northeast wind also created a high storm surge along the eastern Massachusetts coast. The storm moved off through the Maritimes on January 5.
