The final snowfall of the record breaking winter of 1995/1996 developed on the 8th over Arkansas. The following morning the low was over the Atlantic. The low moved steadily northward, strengthening as it did so. Snow began in the evening hours across most of the state. The low moved across the island of Nantucket on the 10th and moved into the Gulf of Maine. By the 11th the low was over Nova Scotia, preparing to cross the Cabot Strait. Snowfall was record breaking with this storm. Ashburnham, a town in Worcester County reported 21 inches of snow. Boston reported 6 inches, despite it being on the coast. The Cape and islands received a trace of snow. With the conclusion of this storm, records were broken and reestablished. These records would stand until the winter of 2014/2015.
