Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.

So we indeed have a precipitation record!

A little bit of research yielded the following.

February total melted precipitation records:

1981 - 8.37"
1900 - 7.45"

2008 ......... 8.80"!

That would be the most recorded snow/rainfall for Worcester since 1892 (116 years).
And we are not even done with February yet!
Heck there is a storm predicted for Tuesday deep in the am running all day.

To give this context the usual rainfall for the month to date of February is 2.41".

Season to date snowfall is 58", so it may be time to pull out our "Moylan Meter."
