It was snow or sleet or a bit of freezing drizzle or even rain depending on where you live in the Northeast...

The National Weather Service in Albany reported a little over 11 inches on the ground in Albany... 8-14 inches in Greene County, 6-8 inches in Dutchess County, 8-12 inches in Ulster County and a little over 7 and half inches in Westchester County.

New York City had to contend with a coating of ice after snow turned to rain on Saturday night.

The storm dropped six inches on New York City's Upper West Side.

Back upstate local municipalities are now ringing in those seasonal "snow emergencies" residents are advised to check with authorities in their areas for the rules and regulations that apply.
