Meanwhile in some parts of Connecticut, Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts, there has been a 20-inch snow, according to the National Weather Service and U.S. snowstorm update.

"Areas along the coast from New York to Boston didn't see as much as expected," said Taylor Ward, a CNN meteorologist. "But some portions of the Northeast have seen more than 30 inches of snow," he added. People are hoping everything will slow down tomorrow. However, blizzard warnings are still the same, said the latest U.S. snowstorm update.
