A winter storm delivered a steady mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to the northeastern United States on Saturday but by Sunday the storm had moved offshore, leaving behind significant snowfall totals across the region.
Forecasters had anticipated the heaviest snow and impacts around Boston but dry air pushed through early on Sunday, shifting the highest accumulations farther north, the Boston office of the National Weather Service said.
As a result, snowfall rates tapered off from southwest to northeast, prompting winter weather alerts to be discontinued earlier than expected. Still, places like Bourne, Mass., about 60 miles south of Boston, recorded 6.5 inches of snow, the Weather Service said.
Across New England, snowfall was more pronounced.
Landgrove, Vt., measured 12.5 inches on Sunday, while East Wakefield, N.H., reported 10 inches. Limerick in Maine received 9.9 inches.
In New York, the northern part of the state saw some of the highest accumulations, with reports of nine inches or more in Saratoga County. Long Island saw more moderate snowfall, with 4.8 inches recorded in Commack and Hampton Bays, while Central Park reported 3.1 inches and Kennedy Airport, 3.4 inches.
Light snow and freezing drizzle persisted in some areas before the storm moved eastward and temperatures rose above freezing.
