An April snowstorm swept through the Northeast this week, blanketing communities in snow that had already gotten a taste of spring.
The storm caused hundreds of schools and school districts to close and over 100 flights at Boston Logan Airport to be canceled.
The community reporting the highest snowfall was Rochester, Vermont, with 21.5 inches.
The highest snow totals were observed in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, though there were some Massachusetts communities that received significant snow. Savoy in Berkshire County reported 9.2 inches to the National Weather Service; Hawley in Franklin County reported 8.2 inches; Plainfield in Hampshire County reported 8 inches; and Ashburnham in Worcester County reported 6.3 inches.
