Reacting to the news, the city's mayor, Marty Walsh tweeted:
"Super Bowls, World Series', Stanley Cups, and snowfall records. We are truly a title city. There will be no parade."
Meanwhile, there is the potential that this season's record could grow. In years past, the city has recorded several inches of snow during the month of March.
Also other US cities have recorded far more snow, the small village of Copenhagen, New York recorded more than 240in of snow.
