Looks like New York State is under Old Man Winter's gun.
 
We got lucky. I finally went out and shoveled only 4 to 4 1/2 inches. Temps around freezing, but a bitter wind.

You did miss the weather bullet, but is there still more to come?

My brother is in NE Ohio, south of Lake Erie. Sometimes they get Lake Affect Snow, sometimes it just misses them. Except for the wicked cold, they have been lucky, but they could see 8” tonight.

That’s not a lot by northerners standards but 8” is never cast in stone - could be more could be less😂😂. I was still on home turf when the snow we weren’t supposed to see ended up being so deep, the National Guard had to plow out our road. The family front loader was at our house, so I was trying to keep up with the driveway until my son’s father got home from work. That was the ’76-‘77 winter. I have never seen that much snow again, nor do I want to where I live.
