March 11–15, 2018 nor'easter

A winter storm, unofficially named Winter Storm Skylar by The Weather Channel, brought widespread blizzard conditions across the Northeastern United States, particularly New England in mid-March 2018. First impacting the Midwestern and Southern United States on March 11–12, causing travel impacts and producing high snowfall totals, the winter storm then moved into the Northeastern United States and became a nor'easter, producing blizzard conditions and heavy snowfall across portions of the interior Northeast on March 13–15. Heavy snow fell in Massachusetts, where most of the state received at least one foot of snow; the storm brought the heaviest March snow on record in Boston and Worcester. Over two feet of snow were reported in portions of Massachusetts, peaking at 31 inches (79 cm) in Wilmington. Heavy snow also fell in Rhode Island, where the snowfall peaked at 25.1 inches (64 cm) in Foster.

A storm surge of 3 feet (0.91 m) was reported on Nantucket while a 2.8 feet (0.85 m) storm surge was recorded in Boston. Over a foot of snow was reported in portions of New Hampshire, with Deerfield receiving almost 29 inches (74 cm) and Middleton reporting 28 inches (71 cm). The winter storm moved into Canada, causing additional power outages and producing snowfall totals of over 10 inches (25 cm) in some locations. Of the four nor'easters that impacted the Northeast in March, this nor'easter was the strongest in terms of minimum pressure, at least 968 millibars (28.6 inHg). The heaviest snow fell in southern Vermont, with Woodford receiving 50 inches (130 cm) of snow.
