New Delhi: A weekend storm that dropped record snowfall and stranded travelers up the coast from Virginia to New England turned out not to be as bad as many had feared by Sunday - and its nicest accomplishment may simply be leaving many with the prospect of a very white Christmas.

15 inches of snow in Providence most ever recorded there for a single December day - and gave southern New Jersey its highest single-storm snowfall totals in nearly four years.

Residents throughout the mid-Atlantic and Northeast were mostly holed up for the weekend, then dug out from as much as 2 feet of snow to find sunny, mostly calm skies under a blanket of white unspoiled by cars and passers-by.
