From Times Wire Reports

A fierce snowstorm swept across northern New England after burying parts of Massachusetts, dumping as much as 20 inches of snow in some places.

At hundreds of schools, classes had to be canceled because of the storm.

Meteorologists said 12 to 20 inches fell in southern Maine. About a foot fell in southern New Hampshire and areas west and north of Boston.

Maine got pounded with some of the heaviest snowfall of the season: 20 inches in Gardiner, 16 inches in Denmark and 14 inches in Auburn, said Tom Berman of the National Weather Service in Gray.
