It really varies; being in close proximity to the ocean, Boston's weather is very changeable. The city has certainly received large amounts of snow at certain times, such as the Blizzard of 1978 that paralyzed the city with nearly three feet of snow. But blizzards and extreme storms are not typical of Boston at all. In fact, most of the bigger storms tend to stay in the central and western part of the state, or go to the north of Boston.

Over the past several years, weather patterns went from one extreme to another-- in January 2011, the area received 38 inches of snow from a series of storms; but by late 2011, there was hardly any snow at all, much to the chagrin of ski-lodges; in fact, temperatures were unseasonably warm from September to December. So, while there have been months when Boston received 20-30" of snow, there were also months when hardly a dusting of snow was seen. If you are traveling to Boston, check the weather reports before you make the trip-- you may find plenty of snow, or you may find none at all.
