The National Weather Service says the storm that started over the weekend has dropped up to 18 inches near Binghamton and Syracuse in New York. Parts of western Massachusetts and northwest Connecticut got about a foot.

In the Lewiston-Auburn area, less than an inch of snow was recorded. About 2 inches was recorded in Eustis.
