A powerful snowstorm swept up the east coast the day after Christmas, leaving over a foot of snow from southeastern Virginia to New England, with parts of New Jersey receiving up to 30″. Take a look at this amazing time-lapse video from New Jersey:
Thank you CNN for the ad-free video clip. 
The NWS has more information at a website summarizing the storm, here.
The most frustrating part of the storm is that merely 24 hours prior, some of the computer models for the storm were depicting 10″ to 18″ of snow for Central Maryland, where I live. There was however, no model consensus on this (which is strange so close to the storm’s onset), but it was still enough to get the National Weather Service to predict 4″ to 10″ across the entire area. Most of the area with this snowfall forecast received no accumulating snow whatsoever. The end result was a nice snow hole, with accumulating snow North, East, South, AND West of where I live

The next significant event appears to be rain as a warm up is expected around the New Year.
