The Largest 24 Hour Snow Totals in Each New England State
So far, this winter is turning out to be a bust for snow lovers in New England. Some parts of the state have gotten some plowable snow, but southern Maine, in particular, has only gotten a few inches here and there, with warm temperatures melting some snow completely away.
As of this writing, New England states have seen snow depths only totaling between 0.4 and 9.8 inches and Northern New England isn't showing any signs of significant snow anytime soon. But you know the saying: "If you don't like the weather in New England, wait a minute."
This lack of snow had me curious about the largest amount of snowfall within 24 hours in each New England state, and the New England Storm Center had the data.
Keep in mind that these are snow totals for just 24 hours, and some states have had much more snow over multiple days.
49.3 inches of snow fell in a 24 hour period in New Hampshire at the top of Mt. Washington on February 5, 1995.
42 inches of snow fell in 24 hours in Vermont at the Jay Peak Ski Resort on February 5, 1995.
40 inches of snow fell in 24 hours in Orono, on December 30, 1962
36 inches of snow fell in 24 hours near Ansonia, Connecticut spanning over February 8 and 9, 2013 during that year's blizzard.
36 inches of snow fell in 24 hours in Woonsocket, Rhode Island during the Blizzard of 1978.
36 inches of snow fell in 24 hours in Natick, Massachusettes on April 1, 1997. Talk about at bad April Fools' Day joke.
