How much did it snow on Cape Cod? Snow totals roll in as storm continues.

Cape Cod Times

Tuesday's winter storm started as rain on Cape Cod and quickly ramped up into heavy snow.

Each storm, trained spotters, National Weather Service employees and others report snowfall numbers to the National Weather Service. Cape Codders have been sending in their observations since at least late morning.

Much of the snow totals so far are over 5 inches, and a few spotters are reporting more than six inches. The storm continues to wreak havoc, with thousands losing power in the afternoon and early evening and a coastal flood advisory from the National Weather Service in effect until 4 a.m. Wednesday.

Barnstable police direct traffic after a large branch fell across Route 28 in Marstons Mills Tuesday afternoon. Traffic was backed up while it was removed in the heavy snow.

Because these are observations, largely by volunteers, the snowfall reports do not include each Cape Cod town and are not evenly updated. We will keep this file updated as more information is available.
