We got about a foot here.
Nothing unusual.

If not for all the panicy weather reports, no one would have ever mentioned it.
Not in the top 20 storms I 've seen here over the years.

Roads a bit slick with blowing snow, but pretty much a

I have no idea how mankind has survived all these catastrophes

As Tom stated just be prepared. We had a -35 wind chill here a few weeks ago. That just meant mucho beverages and staying in.
