With 47.8 inches of snow in just 15 days this month, Worcester has already set a new February record for snowfall. According to the U.S. National Weather Service, the previous record was 45.2 inches.

This winter is the 5th snowiest on record with 103 inches of snowfall so far. The most snow during one season was 1992-1993 when Worcester saw 120.1 inches of snow.

As it stands now, Worcester still remains the Snowiest City in the United States according to Goldensnowglobe.com.

"Worcester, Boston and all of the MA cities are impressing me by the way they are pretty much the bulls eye of all the storms coming through.  Worcester is almost always in the contest along with the New York cities like Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse and with Erie, Pa too.  I never count them out but because of the slow season they started out with I pretty much didn't think they would be in the running this season.  Wow was I wrong. What a difference three weeks and several snowstorms make," said Patrick DeCoursey, who runs the Golden Snow Globe site. 

According to DeCoursey, Lowell, MA has recently been added to the top ten list of snowiest cities and could possibly dethrone Worcester as the snowiest city by Monday. DeCoursey also says Boston is narrowing the gap consistently between them and Worcester.
