Although it's a lot of snow, it's nothing to compare with the blizzard of 78 - or even the storm on Presidents Day weekend of 2003 (Boston's Logan airport was closed and I couldn't get back to work in El Paso).
My daughter says she got 10" of snow in Hickory, NC from this storm
We got 17" of snow in Jacksonville, NC in Feb of 1970 - and it all melted the next day!
