In WNY, the main part of the Blizzard was way downstate, we got about 3" from some feature called the deformation zone.
Our winter has been quite cold, but not as cold as last year. However we have had much less snow then last year, which has left thinks looking rather bleak until we got this "dusting".
Personally I love a good blizzard, it gives me an opportunity to enjoy the real fury of nature. A nice stroll in a pure whiteout with snow infiltrating your underpants is always invigorating.
