The historic snowstorm that was supposed to hit New York today may have spared the Big Apple, but other parts of the country weren't as lucky.
New England got the worst of it, with Massachusetts seeing more than two feet of snow in some places,
according to The Boston Globe.
Massachusetts state officials told the Globe that evacuations were carried out in some areas.
While Long Island in New York saw fairly heavy snowfall, New York City only got about eight inches. Forecasters were initially predicting a storm of historic proportions, and public transportation in the city shut down overnight.
It snowed all night in Massachusetts:

Few people dared to walk in the storm:
