Boston's winter is one for the record books.
After yet another blizzard last week, the city is having its snowiest month since 1872, when record keeping started.
"It's official, Boston has reached its snowiest month on record with 45.5 total inches," the National Weather Service tweeted early Sunday. "The old record was 43.3 in January 2005."
And as the inches pile on, the city marked another milestone: seventh snowiest winter on record, with 82.7 inches so far.
Forecasters predict that a blizzard will linger until Sunday night, compounding the exasperation caused by four weather systems that have dumped piles of snow on the city.
Cape Cod and the islands off the Massachusetts coast could see hurricane-force winds, with snow accumulations of 12 inches for Boston and up to 18 inches in coastal Maine.
How to beat the winter blues
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker has declared the next seven days ''Valentine's Week'' in an attempt to help restaurants, flower shops and other small businesses hurting from the record setting snowfall.
