Fall River Hardest Hit…Driving Ban Lifted

As far as snow totals go, it appears that the city of Fall River was one of the hardest hit areas in Southeastern Massachusetts. Because of the blowing and drifting snow conditions, exact amounts vary, however the National Weather Service has issued their "official" totals from Tuesday's Nor'Easter.

According to the NWS data, Fall River received a total of 18 inches of the heavy, wet snow. New Bedford and Dartmourh each received 14 inces, according to their report. It could have been worse though, the town of Wilmington, MA, saw a total of 31 inches.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Fall River has lifted the driving ban that he issued on Tuesday. While the ban was in effect, only plows and emergency vehicle were allowed to drive on city streets.

Here are the Bristol County snow totals as posted by the National Weather Service.
