Providence Breaks Snowfall Record as Boston Weathered a Historic Blizzard

A northeast winter storm dumped record snowfall in Providence (32.8 inches, surpassing the Blizzard of ’78) and delivered heavy snow across the Boston area in 12–24 inch ranges, with Logan Airport at 14.4 inches by 1 p.m. and strong gusts up to 83 mph on Cape Cod and surrounding areas. The snow is expected to taper off by evening as winds subside, followed by a cold, sunny day; a smaller system is possible midweek and a colder pattern persists into the weekend.
