Yup, we've seen it a lot worse.
Only got 12" - 14" with temps in single numbers and gusts up to about 60 mph. It'll be over in a few weeks I suppose. .

Winter sucks! 5 degrees here tonight but we were spared the brunt of the "Bomb Cyclone" that hit really hard east of the Chesapeake. By the way, for many years our storms coming up the coast were called "Noreasters" now it's a Bomb Cyclone. I'm just sick of this crap weather- it's too cold to even sit in a deer stand let alone run the dogs on some birds. Come on spring.

We had strong wind in Virginia Beach, recorded gust to 50 mph. Few of the offshore buoys recorded 70 knots. Hard to say how much snow, some spots my house 12 inch drifts others 2 inches . Good thing it went through fast, we get tidal flooding from long periods high winds storm passed during low tide. Did not see any real damage.
I expect it could have been worse in New England, storm seemed to move further offshore. Weather Bouy on George’s Bank recorded very high wind and sea. 45 feet on the 5th. I will say over 50 years experience on the waterfront including a weather forecasting correspondence course while in the CG I never heard of a “ Bomb Cyclone” Do they make these names up for TV ratings ?

Yes they do!! They smugly invent new names for things that have always been, giving them 'ownership' of those things. How about "thunder snow"? As far as I've always known, it is simply a low-level atmospheric electrical disturbance that can occur during rainstorms, snowstorms, or even in excessively dry windy conditions, that is known as lightning - not "thunder snow".
How about all of the new names for every single full moon in the last couple of decades? Before that we only had the twelve full moon names the Native Americans knew them as. .
