Many Boston residents awoke Monday, Jan. 26, to over 18 inches of thick, white snow outside their windows after the strongest part of the highly anticipated winter storm moved through overnight.

It’s the biggest snowstorm Boston has seen for nearly four years. According to the National Weather Service, the last time Boston got more than 8 inches of snow from a single storm was on Feb. 25, 2022.

Boston’s Logan International Airport reported a total of 18.6 inches of snow as of 7 a.m., and the city was expected to get at least 3 to 4 more inches from the storm.

And the snow on the ground is supposed to stick around.

“We’re looking at temperatures falling back into the teens and single digits overnight, so we’re not really expecting the snow to go really anywhere,” said Francis Tarasiewicz, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Norton.

The massive storm dumped several inches of snow onto most of the state Sunday and early Monday, according to the National Weather Service. Check out the snow totals for several Massachusetts communities.
