New York is aan het erchste ontsnapt, in Massachusetts (Boston) is er veel meer sneeuw gevallen. Ik heb cijfers tegengekomen tot 35+ inches! En er is ook een dijkdoorbraak aan de kust.

As crews started surveying storm damage and clearing streets, officials warned that the potential for record-setting snowfall remains as stormy weather wallops New England. But Bruno and other residents of coastal areas faced another more menacing threat: storm surge flooding.
On Massachusetts' South Shore, the ocean roared inland to flood the Brant Rock Esplanade, lined with homes and businesses. Marshfield's police department posted a photo of what it called a "major seawall breach (that) caused structural damage" to an unoccupied home. Authorities in neighboring Duxbury showed a deck blown yards away from a home. And not far away in Scituate, slushy ice, seawater and debris clogged streets as waves came crashing toward shore.
'We're not out of this yet'
In Boston, where about 2 feet of snow had fallen, the city's mayor said there was still work to be done.
"We're not out of this yet. We're trying to get ahead of it," Mayor Marty Walsh said. "We just keep plowing."
The hardest-hit area -- Auburn, Massachuetts -- got 32.5 inches of snow. And it hasn't stopped yet.
"This is a very significant storm, and in many parts of Massachusetts, I think, you could call it, in fact, a historic event," Gov. Charlie Baker told reporters.
Massachusetts wasn't the only state getting hit hard Tuesday. The National Weather Service also reported about 20 inches of snow in Portland, Maine; 32 inches in Hudson, New Hampshire; and 30 inches in Orient on New York's Long Island.
