Winter Storm Fern lived up to the hype and was one of the biggest snowstorms in the East in years, dropping more than 18 inches on some ski resorts. The storm was predicted to affect millions of people in the South, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast over the weekend. It was forecast to bring heavy snow, ice, and brutally cold temperatures throughout the East.

Several ski resorts are reporting more than a foot of snow fell on Sunday, with ski resorts in the Northeast still receiving additional snow today. The ski resorts reporting the highest snow totals were located in the Pocono Mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania and the Catskills of New York. Plattekill Mountain in New York reported the most snow accumulations from the storm, with almost 34 inches. Mountain Creek Resort, located in Northern New Jersey, reported 24 inches of snow from Winter Storm Fern.

This snowstorm forced some ski resorts to close or operate on a limited basis on Sunday; however, most planned to open today, making it a great powder day for skiers and snowboarders in the East.
