NOTE: This blog entry has been superceded by a newer one which has updated information. Look to "Recent Entries" at right, or click on Monthly Archives to see the newer entry.
UPDATE (4 PM): Highest by state list updated below. We now have several reports over 30 inches. I hope that not many of these are because there was so much drifting, remember you need to average the snow depths to get an accurate reading.
UPDATE (11 AM): List below updated, now over 30 inches. Major cities added. Select Facebook reports added (there are literally hundreds and I was only able to go back a couple of hours).
You can see the northern extent of the snow on this liquid precipitation image from the NWS. Unfortunately New York City and Long Island missed out on most of the snow. This list will be updated again this afternoon. Check AccuWeather.com for updates on the storm, and keep those incredible Facebook Photos & Reports coming, love to see the pics and amounts!
