Parts of northern New England received up to a foot of snow overnight, while the stubborn storm system brought only rain to most of the Greater Boston region.

Hundreds of schools closed and over 40,000 customers were left without electricity as a result.

Greensboro, Vermont, got 12.3 inches of snow, with other areas of northern Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine reaching 11-12 inches as well. Southern areas of all three states received anywhere between 1 and 3 inches.

Many New England ski areas got blasted with snow, including Maine's Sunday River, New Hampshire's Loon Mountain and Smugglers' Notch in Vermont.

School closings were reported across the three northern New England states.

Some power outages were also reported. About 25,000 customers were without power in Maine on Monday morning, another 11,000 in Vermont and 6,000 in New Hampshire. That number had dropped to about 25,000 total outages as of Monday afternoon.

In Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, meanwhile, it was mostly a rain event.
