Actually according to the NWS definition, ACTUAL Blizzards ANYWHERE on the East Coast, especially at low elevation. are exceedingly rare. (I think there's been some loosening of standards recently, but they're still practically non-existent.)
What people don't understand is you can have 3 feet of snow and without the winds it isn't a blizzard.
Oh this I know, but it sure sucks to be around. And whenever you drive in heavy snowfall no matter what its a blizzard condition as you drive.
