Reported nor'easter totals from across Massachusetts (wcvb.com) — Orleans saw between about 1.75 and 2.25 inches of rain during this weekend's nor'easter, according to National Weather Service spotter reports. The storm dropped even higher totals in nearby Falmouth, Mashpee, and other parts of Barnstable County, but Orleans' amounts were more moderate compared with the hardest-hit communities statewide.
