The big snow dump expected from the Nor’Easter Juno didn’t quite reach Rockland County. Although New York City practically shut down Monday evening in preparation for what some considered a possible historic storm, the wind and snow bands of the storm did manage to drop more than a foot of snow in northern Long Island.

The storm eventually continued along the northern east coast, burying Boston and other parts of Massachusettes in up to 30 inches of winter white.

Sullivan County also reported being buried. But the Town of Ramapo and Rockland County missed most of the high winds and wicked weather.

As of noon on Tuesday, most of the mass transit in the area that was shut down in preparation for Juno is back up and running. As someone somewhere once said, uh, never mind.
