It was 4 degrees this morning, (10 AM) and we have gotten about 2 feet of snow over the last 2 weeks.
Just got to be tough. 
I was in Ca for 2 years and came back, so I can't bitch to much.
We've had 36" and 24" dropped over 7 days here, looking at another 12" from Saturday through Monday morning. Nothing to worry about! Just no where to put the stuff in the urban areas.
Six ft in two weeks is a record but it still doesn't faze a guy whose lived in the north all but three years of his life. Brushmore made a comment about cold... The coldest I've seen was in Iceland and winters there make January in New England seem like June! Snow falls sideways in Iceland and 100 mph winds define "wind chill"!
The US Navy would write you up if you went outside without protective gear... We would take an Icelandic taxi to go 1/4 down the road to the Enlisted Club on the base.
