BROCKTON — After the National Weather Service predicted a major nor’easter would hit southeastern Massachusetts on Tuesday, Brockton prepared for heavy snowfall by closing schools, City Hall, libraries, and more.

“A significant winter storm impacts the region Tuesday morning and afternoon,” the National Weather Service in Boston wrote in a post on Facebook Monday evening, predicting that the Brockton area would receive between eight and 12 inches of snow.

However, Brockton and the surrounding area didn’t receive nearly that much, with Randolph getting only 1.8 inches and Middleboro topping out at 5.4 inches.

Here’s how much snow towns near Brockton actually got, according to the National Weather Service’s snowfall reports. Because the weather service relies on volunteers, totals were not reported for every town.
