14 Mar 2018 — Many residents in Billerica, Massachusetts, about 22 miles northwest of Boston, got up bright and early yesterday morning to tackle the thigh-high snow piled up on their driveways.

“It takes three hours. My snow blower ran out of gas twice. You just keep chugging away,” said Dominic Ciulla.

But compared to last week’s nor’easter, this storm didn’t seem all that bad. That storm knocked out power for almost all of Billerica, a city of about 40,000.

“Giant trees, 50 to 100-year-old trees were collapsed,” Ciulla said.

This time around, no power outages were reported.

Here are some of the cities reporting 2 ft (60 cm) or more of snowfall:

Methuen 28.3″
Uxbridge 27.8″
Milford 26.6″
Billerica 25.6″
Dracut 25.5″
Holden 25.0″
Douglas 25.0″
Andover 24.6″
Haverhill 24.3″
Burlington 24.2″
West Newton 24.0″
Sharon 24.0″
Bellingham 24.0″
