美国东北部城市波士顿今冬经历创纪录的大雪后,期待春天在星期五到来。

波士顿星期日又降雪7.4厘米,自去年11月以来,降雪总量达到275.8厘米。波士顿冬季降雪量平均为110厘米,今冬的降雪量为平均值的两倍以上。

今冬波士顿降雪较晚,波士顿国际机场去年12月的降雪量不到一厘米。波士顿的降雪量记录是以国际机场的降雪为准。但从1月25日开始的三周内,波士顿经受了多次恶劣的暴风雪,使得总降雪量达到217厘米。

波士顿今年2月的降雪量打破了1995年和1996年的记录。

People in the northeastern U.S. city of Boston will look forward to the arrival of spring Friday after enduring the city's highest winter season snowfall on record.

A storm on Sunday dropped another 7.4 centimeters of snow, pushing the total since November to 275.8 centimeters. That is more than double Boston's average of 110 centimeters of snow in a season.

The season actually started slow with Boston getting less than a centimeter of snow in December at its international airport where the official data is recorded. But in a three-week stretch starting January 25, the city endured a punishing stretch of multiple storms that dropped a combined 217 centimeters of snow.

That helped the month of February become Boston's snowiest since the previous record in 1995-'96.
