Icebergs in Mass.? Huge ice chunks seen on Cape Cod

This winter has produced human-sized chunks of ice washing ashore on Cape Cod National Seashore in Massachusetts.

Eric Fisher, chief meteorologist for CBS Boston, called it a "once-in-a-generation" event due to New England's weather conditions in 2015.

Fisher told USA TODAY network via e-mail he's never seen ice like this off Massachusetts. "It's been an amazing winter with some unforgettable scenes. By most accounts, this is likely the most ice we've seen develop since the 1977-78 winter, and perhaps farther back than that"

He added, "It's definitely a limited attraction [...] There's still plenty of it, but the chunks are getting smaller and whatever gets stranded on the beach is melting away."

A Cape Cod-based artist, who goes by Dapixara, has captured dramatic images of what appear to look like icebergs. Dapixara said on Twitter the icebergs are "now melting."

Another photographer, John R. McCarthy of Meuthen, Mass., took photos of the incredible sight as well and shared on Twitter.

Twelve winter storms affected the U.S. from Jan. 21 through March 5, The Weather Channel reports. Eleven of the storms struck New England with "at least light snow accumulations" whereas four of the storms brought "16 inches of snow on Boston," according to The Weather Channel.

For Boston, this is the second snowiest season on record with 105.7 inches of snowfall, according to The Weather Channel. February alone garnered 64.7 inches of snow, making it the snowiest month in Boston.
