Central Park got more than four inches of snow for the first time since January 2022, with higher totals outside New York City.

Snowfall totals in the metropolitan area fell shy of what could have been the city’s biggest storm event in years. Another storm brews in the Great Lakes for Sunday.

Heavier snowfall has been reported in Upstate New York, with 9.2 inches in Poughkeepsie and 10 in Pine Plains. For numerous counties, Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a disaster emergency due to "imminent danger to public transportation, utility services, public health, and public safety systems."

Snow storms dumped snow on both ends of the country, but how much fell varied widely. Maps show snow totals across USA.

New York has woken up to its heaviest snowfall in nearly four years after a winter storm blanketed parts of the US north-east. New York City's Central Park recorded 4.3in (11cm) of snow, its highest since January 2022, while other parts of the state saw up to 7.5in of snow, said the US National Weather Service (NWS).

In the Lower Hudson Valley and Long Island areas, the Weather Service predicted 6 to 11 inches. Forecasts called for the snowfall to begin to peak overnight and then taper off early Saturday.

The snow came down particularly hard in areas north and east of the city. Several communities in the Hudson Valley and Connecticut recorded 9 inches.
