Boston has its snowiest month on record

After yet another blizzard last week, the city has its snowiest month since 1872, when record keeping started.

“It’s official, Boston has reached its snowiest month on record with 45.5 total inches,” the National Weather Service tweeted early Sunday. “The old record was 43.3 in January 2005.”

And as the inches pile on, the city marked another milestone: seventh snowiest winter on record, with 82.7 inches so far.

Forecasters predict that a blizzard will linger until Sunday night, compounding the exasperation caused by four weather systems that have dumped piles of snow on the city.

— Forecast for the south: Birmingham and Atlanta, two cities that had one memorable snowy/icy storm last year, might find residents flooding grocery stores Sunday night. “Wintry precipitation possible” early this week, the National Weather Service in Atlanta said.

“Are you ready for a shot at winter?” the agency’s Birmingham office said.

In Ohio, a different weather system left three people dead in two accidents Saturday morning. One occurred near the Indiana state line while the second accident happened in Erie County.
