Boston Breaks Seasonal Snowfall Record With 108.6 Inches

BOSTON — Mar 15, 2015, 8:05 PM ET

The official measurement of 108.6 inches at Logan International Airport Sunday night topped a season record of 107.9 inches set in 1995-96, according to the National Weather Service in Taunton, Mass.

The final 2.9 inches came in a snowstorm that was relatively tame after a record-setting monthly snowfall of 64.9 inches in February.

The worst previous single month was January 2005 when 43.3 inches fell.

I'd hate for this hellish winter to have only been #2!

We had several one and two foot storms over the course of the whole winter. Nothing like February.
