We got off with a small snowstorm and winds - just look at what Massachussets is dealing with:

SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 28 TO 38 INCHES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...GENERALLY 20 TO 30 INCHES ACROSS CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS...MUCH OF SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE AND RHODE ISLAND... AND 1 TO 2 FEET ALONG THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY IN SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHERN CONNECTICUT. A FEW SPOTS IN EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS MAY REACH 40 INCHES BEFORE THIS STORM WINDS DOWN. DRIFTS OF AT LEAST 6 FEET ARE LIKELY ACROSS EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.

If we got that much snow here, things would be shut down for a week. We've had 30+ inch accumulations twice since I've lived in Maryland - I was driving the Washington beltway a week after the last one a couple years back, and they were still removing snow (with front end loaders). This area simply doesn't have the kind of equipment you need for that.
