波士頓今冬降雪量創紀錄

People in the northeastern U.S. city of Boston will look forward to the arrival of spring Friday after enduring the city's highest winter season snowfall on record.

A storm on Sunday dropped another 7.4 centimeters of snow, pushing the total since November to 275.8 centimeters. That is more than double Boston's average of 110 centimeters of snow in a season.

The season actually started slow with Boston getting less than a centimeter of snow in December at its international airport where the official data is recorded. But in a three-week stretch starting January 25, the city endured a punishing stretch of multiple storms that dropped a combined 217 centimeters of snow.

That helped the month of February become Boston's snowiest since the previous record in 1995-'96.美國東北部城市波士頓今冬經歷創紀錄的大雪後，期待春天在星期五到來。

波士頓星期日又降雪7.4釐米，自去年11月以來，降雪總量達到275.8釐米。波士頓冬季降雪量平均爲110釐米，今冬的降雪量爲平均值的兩倍以上。

今冬波士頓降雪較晚，波士頓國際機場去年12月的降雪量不到一釐米。波士頓的降雪量記錄是以國際機場的降雪爲準。但從1月25日開始的三週內，波士頓經受了多次惡劣的暴風雪，使得總降雪量達到217釐米。

波士頓今年2月的降雪量打破了1995年和1996年的記錄。
