January 10th, 1996

The January 10th event was the result of an Alberta Clipper that moved quickly. On the 9th, it was over the Great Lakes. The next morning it was southeast of Nantucket. Despite being a separate event, it is often lumped in with the Blizzard of '96. This storm hampered cleanup efforts, but the snow this storm produced was light and fluffy, unlike the paste that the blizzard had dumped. By the 11th the storm was over the Grand Banks. Boston reported 5.4 inches.
