Show Caption Hide Caption It's official: Boston breaks snowiest season record With more than 108.6 inches of snowfall, Boston has officially had it's snowiest season ever on record. The previous record was set in the 1995-1996 season.

More snow fell on Boston on Sunday, enough to make this the snowiest season ever on record there.

The National Weather Service said 2.9 inches fell by 7 p.m., pushing total snowfall for the winter of 2014-2015 to 108.6 inches.

That is a full inch over the previous record set during the winter of 1995-1996, the service's Boston office tweeted, and the most since record books started in 1872.

The achievement brought cheerful, tongue-in-cheek celebration from many of the snow-weary survivors of winter in Boston.

"Putting the win in winter!'' tweeted Christina Pazzanese.

"We got the GOLD!" tweeted WBZ weatherman Barry Burbank.

But Michael Wissell spoke for many when he tweeted: " Sweet. Can we have spring now?"

The final snowfall capped a record month in February with 64.9 inches of snow. That topped a previous monthly record of 43.3 inches in January 2005.

The season snowfall record is measured from July 1 through June 30.

But Boston residents beware: forecasters say there's still plenty of time for more snow in March. Nearly 39 inches fell in March 1993. And it's been known to snow in April in Boston too.
