Zero here in sunny Florida, but my hometown West Chester PA got 4 inches.
No offense, but very grateful I’m not in Binghamton New York - 40 inches

0.8" of rain near Danville VA. Had it been snow that would translate to 6+" of snow. An hour north had over 1/4" of ice.
Perfectly happy with rain even if the yard is squishy. Beats hell out of snow or esp ice.

Newburyport MA on the NH border on the seacoast
16" and the temp never dropped below 23* F
very light fluffy snow - easy to Plow & Shovel
Ocean waves flooded many streets at High Tide, winds peaked about 50 mph
it actually started snowing at 11 PM and stopped the next day at 4 PM
My heated bird bath had birds lined up all day for drinking water during the snowing - all natural water is frozen stiff (they were at the feeders all day as well)

That’s a great update Charlie - we’ve got a few bird baths down here, but they’re not heated! Maybe this guy has a heated garage, his storm time lapse is pretty amazing

44 inches here in the hills just 20 minutes west of Binghamton.
Tracks came off my snow blower 3 times and broke the auger belt on last pass of clearing my driveway. Town plow didn't go by until 5:00 Thursday and did just one lane with the blade a foot off the road. Stayed like that till Saturday and had to go to work Friday for a couple miles hoping no one was coming the other way.
