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.

Sorry, but I can't more excitement than that.

I'm all worn out from removing snow and ice.

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