The wider storm

Low pressure moving out of the Ohio Valley passed south of Southern New England on the 2nd and moved out to sea on the 3rd. This storm brought heavy snow to northwest Massachusetts, heavy rain and strong winds to central and eastern Massachusetts, and coastal flooding to the coastline. Moderate to major coastal flooding took place over three tide cycles due to astronomically high tides and a persistent northeast wind. This built a storm surge of two to four feet along the Massachusetts East Coast.
