Ten years ago this week was the start of a crazy stretch of snowstorms in Boston. In 2015, there were four big storms in the span of just a few weeks.

It all began with a blizzard on this very weekend, dumping about 2 feet of snow over a two-day period.

When all was said and done that winter, Boston saw a record 110 inches of snow. And a giant, 75-foot high snow pile in the Seaport District didn't fully melt until the middle of July!

Jan. 27, 2015 is still the fourth-highest one-day snowfall of all time in Boston, at 22.1 inches. And the two-day snowfall total from Jan. 26-27, 2015 of 24.4" ranks fifth all time.
