BARNSTABLE COUNTY, MA — While we were getting ready to watch the Super Bowl Sunday night, a winter storm was in progress that ended up being surprisingly potent as it moved across Cape Cod.

Initial forecasts called for 1-2 inches in most parts of the state, but some parts of Cape Cod saw more than 6 inches of snow.

Unless there's a drastic change, this could be the last significant snowfall for a while. The weekly forecast from the National Weather Service shows a gradual warming trend toward Presidents' Day Weekend — with a return to near 60 degrees on Thursday, and temperatures staying well above freezing after.
