The storm that ended this past week caused travel delays across much of the East, and left its mark with more than 12 inches of snow in some places.
Early Sunday morning, the storm had departed the United States and was bearing down on Atlantic Canada.
Snow began sliding in from the Ohio Valley on Friday night then spread from Pennsylvania and Maryland into New England on Saturday.
The FAA reported excessive delays at airports in the I-95 corridor.
Some flights were delayed 3.5 hours at Newark Airport, with 1- to 2-hour delays at JFK and Philadelphia International.
Approximately 1,000 flights were cancelled in total with more than 4,500 delays because of the storm.
Road crews in New England midday on Saturday had trouble keeping up with the storm. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick even advised motorists to stay off the roads east of Worcester on Saturday evening through Sunday.
Visibility was extremely restricting for the evening commute while many highways remained covered.
