How much snow did you get this winter?

I live in Wilmington Delaware which between 2010-2020 averaged 25 inches of snow each year. This year we didn't even get an inch!

Thankfully here in Chicago a lot less than our normal amount! Storms have either gone to the north of us or the south.

We're in south central PA. This winter has been very calm without much snow, maybe a dusting.

I'm not one of those people who like big snow storms, like having a foot of snow or more; however, I wouldn't mind having about 6 inches. I doubt that'll happen now.

Not a happy camper here! We can usually depend on a foot or two the first two weeks in Feb. Huge disappointment!

Living in SE Massachusetts, we had no plowable snow. Perhaps 5-6 inches in several different "storms"

Fall and winter are my favorite seasons. We hardly had any snow, a couple of dustings. I wouldn't want a blizzard or ice storm but would have liked a few inches of snow here and there. Dread the heat and humidity.

Suburban Minneapolis: over 80 inches!!

It has been a truly miserable winter. The average snowfall is in the 50 inch range, which is more than enough.

NW PA corner of the state....all winter up to March was barely a few inches, in one inch falls....now in March, we're getting it!

Today about 5" between 7 and noon...all heavy wet lake effect which will be gone by tomorrow...but bleccchhhhh!!!! We had a foot of heavy wet snow last week that was almost all gone yesterday, now more today!!!

Thankfully we HAVE been getting rain.Rain I don't mind...you don't have to shovel it...and if we have no snow, we better get rain or it'll be very dry in summer..

I didn't use my snowblower at all from Sept to Dec,and only one time since Jan 1 this year ( last week) That is pretty unusual for here.

We DID have two bitter bitter cold events....one at Chrismas, when Buffalo got 5+ feet and we got almost none, and then in Feb.....below zero and howling sustained winds which I HATE....!!!

When I see those pictures from California, it's unreal...THAT is scary stuff.....

Here in Minneapolis as of March 17th we have gotten 121.3 inches.

That sounds like a lot, but I live in an area where streets, sidewalks and little walking areas are plowed almost immediately with snow being hauled away. So if I don't have to go out in it, I can be totally oblivious to it.

Just a dusting once or twice here in Northern Virginia.

Snow average is a little over 40", this winter 27" also had 2 ice storms with lightening that caused lots of damage & the inland lakes only froze over twice so ice fishing was a bust....the lakes are open & will stay that way, the boats are already out cruising.

I live on the coast of Massachusetts north of Boston. We only got about 12" total. Mostly messy snow turning to rain. Been cold though. Looking forward to 50s this week.

Here in the desert Southwest (Albuquerque) I got about 5" at my house. Three inches of it last Friday. We've had a very cold, windy winter but no moisture to make snow. We're in severe drought.

None so far here in SW FL, Fort Myers. But I'm ready in case something crazy happens.

@magicmoodz

that IS a lot!!!

Been noticing your area on Accuweather and it seems there's been a lot of snow there this year...is that a normal amount, and are you now afraid of flooding if it melts quickly?

We got no snow this winter.,.just ice that kept us housebound for a week.the garage door was frozen shut and the front sidewalk was an ice rink...no mail delivery either...but we kept the power on.
Have been more than ready for spring since Christmas!
