A storm system that started in the south and brought many places their first white Christmas in decades moved up the East Coast yesterday and is depositing extraordinary amounts of snow.  The threat of snow forced the postponement of an NFL football game and has forced the closure of airports and halted public transportation.

Snow fell as far south as Jacksonville, Florida over the holiday and areas further north recorded moderate snowfall.  Huntsville, Alabama saw 6 inches of snow; Raleigh, North Carolina saw 8.5 inches and Gatlinburg, Tennessee recorded 8.0 inches.
Those totals are minimal however to what is being deposited on a large area from New York City to Boston.  Central Park has reported 13 inches and Brooklyn 17.5 inches.  In New Jersey Atlantic City reported 15.7 earlier this morning but that total has since climbed to 19 inches.  Foxboro, Massachusetts has seen 11.5 inches.
