How Much Snow Did Homeowners Get After Winter Storm Fern? Here’s Who Saw the Most Snowfall, With a Map

by Dina Sartore-Bodo

A historic 2,000-mile-wide winter storm ravaged the country this weekend, unleashing heavy snow and crippling ice on more than 245 million people from Maine to New Mexico.

In fact, it was in the western state that the country saw the biggest total of snow accumulation. According to the National Weather Service, parts of Bonito Lake, NM, in the Sierra Blanca mountains northwest of Ruidoso, NM, saw upward of 30-31 inches of snow Sunday.

A similar situation was seen by homeowners across the country, with over a dozen states being hit with over a foot of snow from Winter Storm Fern.

Here are some of the highlights, plus a snow-totals map showing exactly who was hardest hit.

Massachusetts

As Monday morning dawned, many parts of the country were seeing the end of their snowfall—but not New England, and certainly not Massachusetts.

Though the state was dumped with heavy snow on Sunday, winter weather lingered into Monday. Chatham, MA, and Salem, MA, each recorded 10 inches, while Middleton, MA, reported more than 20 inches. Nantucket, MA, picked up 8 inches, Holden, MA, saw 20 inches, and Boston measured roughly 15 inches.

From the NWS, the heavy snow has ended, and only an additional coating to half inch of snow is expected through Monday. (NWS)

Connecticut

Although the snow tapered off by Monday morning, totals revealed that nearly the entire state was buried under about a foot of accumulation.

Current numbers from the National Weather Service show that Winsted, CT, received the most snow with 18.2 inches, while Simsbury, CT, and Glastonbury, CT, were close behind at around 18 inches. Bridgeport, CT, reported 15.1 inches, and Manchester, CT, came in at 14.5 inches.

Georgia

The southern state was mercifully spared heavy snow this time around, with places like Atlanta dealing instead with bitter cold and ice. Still, freezing-rain totals were significant enough to make roads across the metro area and beyond extremely treacherous. Gainesville, GA, picked up about 1 inch of ice, Lake Lanier, GA, recorded 0.8 inches, and Clayton, GA, saw roughly 0.75 inches.

New York

In New York City, Central Park measured 11.4 inches of snow, while Washington Heights, NY, clocked in at 14.9 inches.

Fordham, NY, in the Bronx reported 13.5 inches, and Williamsburg, NY, led Brooklyn with 12 inches. East Meadow, NY, on Long Island recorded 10.4 inches, while Greenwood Lake, NY, in Orange County saw more than 18 inches.

At the city’s airports, JFK Airport reported just over 10 inches on the runways, with LaGuardia Airport not far behind at 9.7 inches. Rockland County, NY, posted some of the highest totals, including New City, NY, with 17.6 inches, Monsey, NY, with 15.5 inches, and Nyack, NY, with 12.2 inches.

New Mexico

Forecasters cited a “reinforcing Arctic front” in the West as the storm began brewing, which resulted in deep snowfall near Bonito Lake, NM. A staggering 31 inches of snow fell in that area, according to the National Weather Service.

Delaware

Delaware’s biggest snowfall totals were concentrated in New Castle County. Bear, DE, reported 10.0 inches by 11 p.m. Sunday, while the Wilmington, DE, area saw around 9.0 inches. New Castle County Airport, DE, measured approximately 8.3 inches through its Automated Surface Observing System by the end of the night, and Newark, Claymont, and Greenville, DE, each recorded more than 6 inches.

Pennsylvania

In Eastern Pennsylvania, Philadelphia International Airport measured 7.4 inches, while Rittenhouse Square, PA, came in at 5.7 inches.

Western parts of the state saw much higher totals, with Pittsburgh reporting 13.8 inches and Hampton Township, PA, close behind at 14 inches. West Mayfield, PA, picked up 20 inches, Beaver Falls, PA, saw 18 inches, Oakland in Lawrence County, PA, recorded 16 inches, and Grove City in Mercer County, PA, measured about 17 inches.

New Hampshire

Like Massachusetts, much of New Hampshire had already picked up several inches, with additional accumulation expected as snow continued into Monday.

Atkinson, NH, and Chester, NH, each recorded 17 inches, while Derry, NH, and East Kingston, NH, reported 18 inches apiece. Exeter, NH, saw 19 inches, Londonderry, NH, measured 18.5 inches, Manchester, NH, picked up 12.5 inches, Nashua, NH, reached 18.3 inches, and Stratham, NH, led the state with 21 inches.

New Jersey

Northern and western parts of New Jersey were hit the hardest, with some communities seeing more snow than they have in a decade.

Tenafly, NJ, recorded 16.3 inches, Wayne, NJ, measured 16.0 inches, and Ridgefield, NJ, saw 15.8 inches. Newark, NJ, reported 12.1 inches, while closer to Manhattan, Hoboken, NJ, picked up 9.8 inches and Montclair, NJ, finished with about 9.5 inches.
