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.

The Official Numbers:

National Weather Service says that we got 8" of snow yesterday.
  • This is a new record for the day, which was previously 6" in 1954.

This also brings the monthly total up to 24" of snow!
  • Another interesting note is that there had been no measurable snow at all this fall until December, so that 24" is all we have for the season as well as the month.
  • Finally, the normal snowfall for the month at this point would be 7.4".

Also, last Saturday we set a record as well.
On Saturday the 20th we received 11.6" of snow!
  • The previous record was 10" in 1945.

In between these two storms we had two days that each has 2.2" of new snow, which gets you to our number of 24"!
And not a flake of it fell before the 20th of December!


(Finally, the wind gusts are beginning to kick in!)
