How Much Snow Did North Reading Get From the Groundhog Day Storm?

North Reading has picked up more than four feet of snow in a week.

North Reading picked up 16 inches of snow from the Groundhog Day snowstorm on Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

The storm refused to stop on Monday. The forecast called for the hardest snow to fall on Monday morning before dissipating in the afternoon and stopping in the evening. The snow didn’t stop in intensity, but even seemed to pick up steam in the afternoon and early evening before finally stopping late on Monday night.

The town picked up one of the highest snowfall amounts in Middlesex County from the storm. Only Wakefield with 17 inches of snow received a higher amount in the county.
