Most snow for a season = 107.6" (1995-1996)
Most snow in 1 day = 27.5" (2/17/2003)
Most snow in 2 days = 29.1" (2/17/2003 - 2/18/2003, "President's Day Snowstorm")
Average snowfall per year = 41.3"
although feb 2003, pd II is listed as 27.3 , it has been noted that this value was a result of innaccurate measurements ( standard to measure snowfall in 6 hr increments, clearing a board of snow at the end of a 6 hr period, all 6 hour snow measurements added to get total snowfall total). Also the blizz of 78 value reflects the snow depth at the end of the storm indicating that there easily could have been more than 27.1" if proper measurement techniques were taken)

The number of snowstorms can vary each season and can't be determined in advance. Boston, MA, typically experiences several snowstorms each winter, with varying levels of intensity and accumulation. It's advisable to stay updated with local weather forecasts for the latest information on snowstorms in the area.
It really varies: it is a truism that Boston's weather is very changeable. Some years, Boston has hardly any snow. Some years, Boston gets several large storms and not much more than that. And some years, it snows a lot, such as in the Blizzard of 1978. In 2012, Boston had several winter months of unseasonably warm weather and hardly any snow at all -- for example, in December of that year, there was only 3" of snow the entire month. In January 2013, there was even less-- 1", and several days when temperatures soared to 60 degrees, leaving ski lodges wondering if they would do any business at all. But that all changed in February 2013, when there were several big storms that left a total of 34", more than making up for the previous lows.
Boston is under a blizzard warning for strong winds and heavy snow through monday morning. 12-16" is expected currently.

Blizzards occur when it snows. They usually happen in the Midwest like Colorado. But if there is a weak El Nino, then it can happen in the Mid Atlantic and East Coast like Philadelphia, New York, And Boston. In the 2009-2010 winter season, we had a weak El Nino so The Mid Atlantic had big blizzards and above-normal snow fall while the Midwest had very little snow and a couple of blizzards.
