A record-breaking snowfall swept across Burlington Thursday night, leaving 7 inches of rapidly melting snow.
Much of that 7 inches has evaporated, but not before setting the 2019-20 snowfall record for Burlington. The highest measured snowfall before that was roughly 4 inches at the end of October 2019.
Locally higher amounts were observed, but Burlington’s seven inches was the second-highest in the state, according to the National Weather Service.
The tiny town of Beaconsfield (population of 15) in Ringgold County recorded the most snow at 9 inches.
