OK.
The hype was all about NYC.
Massachusetts not so much.
When I grew up in NY, the last winter I was there (76-77) we had snow up to the top of the garage door and the back door. No one called it historic. We called it winter.
Been in the American South since ‘77. Don’t miss winter up north.
I’ve spent a lot of time in upstate N.Y.-—brutal winters.
I love winter and detest heat so I’m staying right where I am.

I remember grade and high school and early college with 2 feet and none of this hype. But, that’s not the region’s fault, it’s the fault of the media.
We used to have 5 snow days built into our school calendar but now we have none yet we get the same amount of snow, lol. We didn’t get 2 feet at a time every year but enough that it wasn’t catastrophic.
Some years we have no snow at all! Or rather no accumulation at all.
