Snow totals thus far this years been better than last year. Maybe this is a bump in the road or maybe the cars broken down for the rest of the year...who knows...I hope everyone here gets a good winter storm.

I got 6-7 inches of snow last winter, it wasn’t enough

Never enough snow. I was in a little town called Lancaster right outside Buffalo during the holidays in 2001. That was during the lake effect event that was very similar to the one a couple weeks ago. Snow was up to my chest. I didn't want to leave and come home. It was incredible.

Speaking of that we went into Canada on New Years eve and brought in the new year in Niagara Falls. I remember the drive over there and looking up at a thermometer on a water tower and it said 29 degrees. Definitely was not cold at all for Buffalo on New Years with feet of snow on the ground. A couple days later probably around Jan 2nd we left to try to beat a snowstorm back home. I don't remember any snowpack south of say Erie when we got away from the lake belts. We ran into the storm in Huntersville just north of Charlotte and the rest of the drive was pure hell. I don't know the general pattern during the early Jan storm in 2002 or how cold it was in the Midwest or how much snowpack was up there. But I know there was no snowpack in the east south of the lakes and it wasn't that cold up there. So I do know from experience that the northeast doesn't have to be cold and have snowpack for us to get a good storm.

I really enjoyed that early January 2002 snow. I also remember just a couple weeks later I was wearing shorts.
