The Blizzard of 2005 was a 3 day snow event that affected large areas of the northern United States, dropping as much 36"+ of snow in parts of southeastern Massachusetts. The storm started dropping snow on the upper Mid-West on Thursday January 19, 2005. It slowly moved eastward affecting the Great Lakes region and the Mid-Atlantic states on Friday and Saturday January 20, 2005 - January 21, 2005. On Saturday evening the storm entered the Southern New England area. The strength of the storm coupled with the extreme arctic temperatures created a light fluffy snow, which increased the snowfall totals.
The storm shut down Logan Airport in Boston and impaired travel throughout much of Massachusetts due to the high amount of snow covering the roads.
University students at Boston College braved harsh winds and high snow drifts to walk 150ft to the dining hall.
