I’m glad it pretty much missed you-how unusual is 10 inches of snow where you are-here it doesn’t happen more than once in at least 10-12 years-it used to happen even less often when I was a kid, but Winters were warmer than they are now-it didn’t even go below freezing at night all that often but I’m sure that is because of global warming...
10 inches is major enough. Anything over 6 is pretty much at least temporarily disruptive. More typical is the 3-6 inches for an event. The 1-3 inches and overnight coatings are pretty routine.
