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.

The storm is expected to wind down later Nov. 21.Some utility customers also lost electricity after wind gusts topping 40 mph brought down power lines.

In New Hampshire, the snow caused car crashes and spin-outs.

New England ski areas, meanwhile, are rejoicing, with the traditional start to the winter sports season coming up this week.
