Airport observations indicate that a thin line of freezing rain exists north of the rain/snow line. Here are the highest snow spotter reports by state as of 9 AM Central, I will update this when more reports come in.

Osbourne County, KS: 12.5"
Hannibal, MO: 4.0"
Omaha, NE: 3.6"
Springfield, IL: 3.0"

Because of the increase in expected ice amounts, snowfall totals have been cut down except for northern and western New England. Below are exclusive maps from our Pro site showing the AccuWeather forecast ("AccuModel") ice and snow amounts for this storm.
