Heavy Snow in Northern Worcester, Massachusetts

Heavy Snow February 1, 2021 – February 2, 2021 · Northern Worcester, Massachusetts

What the National Weather Service wrote

Snowfall amounts generally ranged from 10 to 14 inches. The highest report was 18.6 inches in North Ashburnham.

The wider storm

A mid level trough over the Appalachians produced a secondary surface low pressure near the mid-Atlantic coast. High pressure over Hudson Bay allowed low level cold air to stay in place initially. Most of the region received 8 to 12 inches of snow, but a coastal front kept accumulations down in southeast and extreme eastern Massachusetts. This storm also produced strong winds and minor coastal flooding.
