In Madison, the 88.3 inches of wintertime snow shattered the all-time record
of 76.1 inches, set in the winter of 1978-79, according to the National
Weather Service.

Concord recorded 100.1 inches of snow this season, stressing roofs and
frazzling drivers' nerves. Before that, the record had been 78 inches, set
during the winter of 1886-87, according to the weather service.

The heavy New England snow has forecasters worried about what will happen
when it melts. The weather service warned last week that the seasonal flood
potential is "above to well-above normal" for the Connecticut River and its
tributaries. Forecasters say a rapid warm-up, combined with more heavy rain,
could add to the danger.
