Those lake effect storms generally result in a lot of snow in that area. Buffalo is infamous, and Rochester gets a lot too. I think we were spoiled because last winter was pretty mild, and so was this one until the weather turned.
That said, it's been pretty cold here in Vermont, and we got more snow again last night. Making up for the mild weather earlier. It hasn't gone down much below zero, but with the wind it's been too cold to stay outside very long.
We have 14 inches in Grand Rapids, but looking at upstate NY makes me feel pretty good.
