About 7 inches of snow fell on D.C., with the snow tapering off Tuesday morning in New York City.
Boston — which has been slammed with historic snowfall totals during the past month — will get a reprieve this storm, with just about 1 inch expected.

Up to three inches of sleet was reported in Tennessee.
A colder air mass is lurking behind the storm, with record lows possible Thursday and Friday.
