February 2nd-3rd, 1996

This snowfall was in reality a series of low pressure systems sliding along a stationary frontal boundary. The front became stationary on the 1st while it was across southern Florida. The boundary moved northward with the primary low. This low dropped up to 15 inches of snow across Cape Cod and the islands. Winds were high with this system, the peak gust being 46 mph at Nantucket. The storm also came on a full moon, much like the Blizzard of '96 had in January. Boston reported 5 inches. The second low generated up to 5 more inches along the Cape and islands, bringing the total up to 15 inches at Chatham.
