The fierce winter storm that has been dumping snow on New Jersey for more than a day dropped enough snow on one major city to break a daily snowfall record, according to the National Weather Service.

Newark Liberty International Airport was blanketed with 14 inches of snow on Monday, shattering the airport’s daily snowfall record for Feb. 1, which had been 7.5 inches on this date in 1957, the weather service’s New York regional office said.
