Snow removal in Springfield MA

Worcester Massachusetts has the distinction of being the snowiest city in the United States this winter.

   The snow storm earlier this week brought the season’s total snow fall in Worcester to 108.9 inches, making it the snowiest city in the country this winter, according to the National Weather Service. Syracuse New York was second with 96.5 inches. Rochester New York  also made the top five  with 72.7 inches.  The rankings only apply to cities with more than 100,000 people. There are less populous places that received more snow.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
