Being an avid snowmobiler, i'm rather disappointed as we've received just over 20 inches of snowfall thus far this season(annual average 85inches) with no more than 5 inches on the ground at any given time. Most of our snow has been "lake effect", without that little freak of nature we'd have only seen a few inches so far. It would take a couple/three major Nor'easter's to catch us up to our average at this point.

We usually have an 18-24 inch dense base by now with more good loose snow on top. The NYC metro area depends on our heavy snow pack for it's spring run-off to fill the reservoirs that supply a good portion of the city's water. So far, there isn't anything to run off come the spring thaw. Folks in this area would probably do well to be concerned and conserve.

There however has been no shortage of cold weather, we actually saw a low of -18F here before the season officially started which was easily a record low.

Al Gore is probably even more disappointed than i.
