Northampton, Mass. – A January thaw came to an end Monday across New England as a storm brought dropping temperatures and heavy snow that closed scores of schools and contributed to road-closing traffic accidents.
Up to 10 inches fell in some areas from eastern New York to Maine.
Temperatures had been in the 50s and as high as 60 last week, but the mercury dropped on Sunday, and on Monday it struggled to reach the 30s.
West Boylston, in central Massachusetts, had 10 inches of snow while totals elsewhere in the state ranged from 3 to 8 inches.
The storm dumped more than 8 inches in southeastern New Hampshire and southwestern Maine and 3 to 6 inches across southern and coastal Maine.
Boston’s Logan International Airport closed for 37 minutes during the morning, Massport spokesman Phil Orlandella said. The average flight delay was more than two hours.
