However, Uccellini noted that the worst predictions came true for parts of New England.
The overnight hours brought some of the storm's most treacherous conditions, with wind gusts of up to 78 miles per hour reported on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts.
More than 7,000 flights were canceled because of the storm, which began as a clipper system that brought snow and slick roads to the Midwest on Sunday. Travelers should check with their specific airline for how to change or cancel their flight and get the latest updates on any travel advisories.
Meanwhile, New York City's streets were coated in a slushy mix overnight, with few vehicles on the roads.

According to the MTA, this is believed to be the first time the entire New York subway system as well as bridges and tunnels were shut down because of a winter storm. The last subway shutdown was when Superstorm Sandy hit in 2012.
A 17-year-old teen on New York's Long Island died in a sledding accident, authorities said, marking the first death reported in the storm. The accident happened at 10 p.m. Monday in the town of Huntington, New York, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. The teen and two friends were taking turns snow-tubing when one of the teens lost control and struck a light pole, police said, adding that the teen was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
On Long Island, the snow was matched with heavy winds, making the conditions especially worrisome and limiting visibility.
Listen to that wind. #LongIsland #BlizzardOf2015 #Yaphank
