From coast to coast, families saw snowfall starting on Christmas Eve. For example, downtown Portland, Oregon saw snow for the sixth time since 1884. Maine got 15 inches of snow during a snowstorm, and New Hampshire saw about one foot, according to ABC News.

And it’s not over yet!

Weather forecasts show more snow for the Northeast and Great Lakes area in the coming days. Western New York can expect up to 5 feet of snow this week — thanks lake effect!
