While the storm snarled roads during Wednesday's afternoon commute, the bulk of the accumulation fell during the evening and overnight hours, subsiding well before the Thursday commute. Since schools are already closed for Christmas week, traffic volume was light and plows have been able to keep up.
Here is the latest from the national Weather Service:
