Had a blast, it was quite a time.

I was a senior in high school when that one hit. I remember we got about 6 inches during football practice. Took a while to dig out of my parents driveway the next day.

My sister and parents got nailed by the big snow in the DC area last year. We had 2 feet one year here, when we had to stay in a motel for two days because we were unable to come back to the house some 20 miles away via backroads.

In college I remember going to a basketball game in Buffalo after the worst of the snow from the storm the OP mentioned and the drifts were still as high as the street lamps! And up the road from Ithaca in Fulton they'd get five/six feet overnight from lake effect!

Florida kidding aside, will never forget my NJ send off in 1996.
Three months before moving (which ultimately made the decision easier and faster) we got hit with an epic storm in the NYC area.
32 inches. Shut down the area for 3 plus days.
Don't think I had ever seen that much snow in one fall before.
