NCDC | Contents | Climate | Products | Events | Search | Help During the December 5-8, 1996 period, New England was hit by 2 snowstorms, with snowfall totals exceeding 30 inches in some locations. Due to the heavy, wet nature of the snow, several hundred thousand customers were without electricity for periods ranging from several hours to several days. The maps provided (click on images above for larger versions) used data available soon after the storms to produce an analysis. These data are preliminary and additional data will be available later.
