The storm left a mark on states like Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, which received heavy snow for over 24 hours, accumulating upwards of 18 inches (457.2 mm) in some areas.
Many parts of Northern and Northeastern Indiana received between 12 and 20 inches (300–510 mm), and blizzard conditions for an extended period of time.
The heavy snow and blizzard conditions caused roads to close, and schools and businesses to close for three days.
In Chicago, O'Hare International Airport received 10.2 inches (259 mm) of snow, while Midway Airport received 12.0 inches (300 mm).
The Midway total was the largest amount of snow received in the month of February for one midnight-to-midnight day since records began to be kept in 1928.
Twelve to sixteen inches (300–410 mm) of snowfall and blizzard conditions in central Illinois  canceled classes at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign for two days, the first time classes had been canceled since 1979.

Areas of the Appalachian Mountains in northern New England and Quebec received accumulations of over 16 inches (410 mm) with local amount exceeding 36 inches (910 mm) in parts of Vermont and 42 inches (1,100 mm) in the Adirondacks in New York state.
Also in New York state, in the hills and valleys south of Syracuse, snowfall depths ranged from 24 to 45 inches (610–1,100 mm).
Snowfall rates of 5 to 6 inches (130–150 mm) per hour occurred in areas of western Schoharie County, with total storm accumulations in this county approaching three feet.
The city of Hamilton, Ontario and the Niagara region, at their highest elevations, received just over 27.6 inches (700 mm) due to snow squalls off of Lake Ontario.
Burlington, Vermont recorded record 24-hour snowfall, with 25.3 inches (640 mm).
Boston and Hartford, however, saw very little precipitation from the storm.
In fact, Boston is close to setting a record for the least snow in any season.

A notable feature of the system was its array of precipitation type.
While the interior sections of the Northeast received mostly snow from the system, the Mid-Atlantic received snow, sleet, freezing rain and non-freezing rain.
Due to the three-dimensional nature of the atmosphere, warm air was poised to overtake the cold air closer to the ground, causing precipitation to melt, then refreeze as either sleet or freezing rain.
As temperatures hovered around freezing on the southern edge of the storm track, light snow accompanied freezing rain and sleet.
The freezing rain coated all surfaces with thick layers of ice, including power lines and tree limbs which break under the additional weight.
Some locations in the Mid-Atlantic received several inches of sleet.
Four inches (100 mm) of sleet caused travel difficulties and hampered cleanup efforts in New York City.
New York City's sanitation department admitted to not plowing city streets, expecting the frozen precipitation to change from ice to rain.
However, this never happened.
Instead, temperatures dropped very quickly and caused the slush on sidewalks and roads to freeze into thick, rock hard sheets of ice.
Streets were almost impassable during the evening rush hour resulting in complete chaos.
Along coastal New England, a mix of rain, sleet, and freezing rain resulted in decreased snow amounts in coastal areas of New England.in coastal Maine, snowfall amounts were restricted to 6–12 inches, while inland sections of the state got as much as 29.8 inches of snow.

Ice accumulations in Virginia and Maryland reached locally three-quarters of an inch (20 mm) while it reached 1 inch (25 mm) in central Ohio near Columbus and Xenia, with up to 0.7 inches (18 mm) near Cincinnati.

The effect on much of Michigan by the storm was light, although the extreme southern part of the state was hard hit with heavy snowfall, especially the Detroit Metro area.
Wind whipped snow accumulations ranged from 7 to 10 inches (180–250 mm) fell throughout the area, especially the southeastern suburbs, including 8.5 inches (220 mm) at both Detroit Metropolitan Airport and Wyandotte, and 8.4 inches (210 mm) in Dundee.
