Parts of upper New York northeast of Albany into Maine near Bangor were forecast to get 24-28" of snow from this storm.
We just had about 3" and continuous winds of 35-40mph last night.
This is the first real snow we have had this winter. We have had wet snow but no real accumulation except one night in November but it didn't stay long.
My brother was supposed to be getting a bunch in Boston

Bummed with how poorly this winter storm turned out. Rain here - was looking forward to snow.

Most BITOGERS must have some farmer in them. We complain about the weather no matter the outcome! Human nature, I suppose. I am enjoying the relatively mild winter in south central Michigan so far. Only plowed twice, and not much at that.

I too enjoyed the mild winter we've had. I point out to my friends that we didn't have to shovel the two heavy rain events we had this past month.
This Wednesday they're predicting rain. I wonder how that'll pan out after the deep freeze that chilled the ground.

We had a white Thanksgiving, which I think may have been the only I've ever seen. Never fully melted away either, left a good amount of ice in my yard. Wife was bummed about how little of a winter we've had, but is happy with the foot of snow we got today. I'm not excited about the temperature coming up, and I wrenched my back shoveling snow today.
It's winter everywhere. I'm ticked I haven't been able to wear shorts in a couple weeks here in San Antonio.

One upsmanship! One upsmanship!
It dropped to -27°F last night and will fall to only -17°F tonight. I can't go south, but my block heater did. The car started easily this morning without it, though.
Historically, January has been much warmer these last few years than in my childhood, by 10 or 15 Fahrenheit degrees, so with luck I can get by without a new block heater (it's not the wire or plug at either end).

+1, you can't shovel -15c.

76 degrees in CA. 76% taxes though.....
We had about 5 inches here but it was really light and fluffy. If we could get a good 40 degree day it would be gone in no time. Looks like you got nailed pretty good.

That's way too cold for us Southerners in Ontario.

I don't mind winter... The only thing I don't like is the really cold days like today having to take a break and go inside to warm up a bit after a couple of hours in the brutal cold, before continuing to wrench on things.

We pretty much got a coating and then all rain, was definitely looking forward to a snow day, and to use the blowers a bit!
