Dongan Hills and Williamsburg are close behind with fourteen and thirteen inches each, while Greenpoint in Brooklyn is suffering from nine inches. The totals are expected to continue rising throughout the day.

New York City is currently under a complete travel ban until 12 p.m on Monday, while New Jersey's will expire at 7 a.m. That means no driving on streets, bridges, etc. Those who need to get around the city can find up-to-date information via NBC.

NBC also reported at 5.55 a.m. that snowfall wasn't going to stop any time soon. The storm will continue at least for the rest of the day, with snowfall rates currently sitting around 4 inches per hour in the heaviest storm zones.
