Town-by-town Massachusetts snowfall totals show Cape Ann led Feb. 10–11 overnight system, topping six inches
A fast-moving snowmaker produced modest statewide accumulation, with a sharp bullseye in the Northeast
A quick overnight snowfall crossed Massachusetts from Tuesday night into early Wednesday, Feb. 10–11, 2026, leaving a wide but generally light accumulation across much of the state while concentrating higher totals along the North Shore and Cape Ann. The observed reports show many communities landing in the low single digits, with a smaller cluster of towns measuring three inches or more.
The highest verified totals early Wednesday were reported in Gloucester, where measurements reached 6.0 inches at an observation point east-southeast of the city and 5.6 inches at a location west of Gloucester. Several nearby Essex County communities also reported in the 3- to 4-inch range, including Methuen (3.5 inches), Ipswich (3.5 inches), and multiple reports near Andover and Hamilton around 3 inches, reflecting a localized band of heavier snowfall.
Where the most snow fell
Snowfall reports collected during and shortly after the event show the storm’s strongest impact in northeastern Massachusetts, with totals dropping off moving inland and south.
Essex County: Top measurements reached 6.0 inches in Gloucester, with additional reports around 3.0–3.5 inches in communities including Methuen, Ipswich, Andover, Topsfield, Hamilton and Haverhill-area locations.
Middlesex County: Several reports approached 3 inches in the northern tier, including 2.9 inches near Tyngsborough and 2.3 inches in Winchester-area reports.
Bristol County: Observations reached 2.5 inches in Taunton and near North Attleborough, with a 2.3-inch report at the National Weather Service office in Norton.
Plymouth County: A 2.3-inch report came in near East Bridgewater, and 2.0 inches was reported near Plymouth.
Boston-area and regional context
Reports indicated around 1.9 inches at Logan Airport, while other nearby observations varied by neighborhood and timing. The spread underscores how narrow bands of heavier snow can produce meaningful differences over short distances, particularly in fast-moving systems.
Observed snowfall reports are compiled from trained spotters, public observers, and established networks, and represent point measurements rather than uniform townwide depth.
How to interpret the numbers
Snowfall totals listed in town-by-town roundups reflect specific observation sites and times, meaning a single community may appear multiple times with slightly different results. The most useful way to read the data is to compare geographic patterns—such as the Cape Ann maximum—rather than to treat each figure as the definitive total for an entire municipality.
