The National Weather Service called the storm "historic" and reported a foot of snow in parts of Ohio and 2 feet or more in Washington, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Parts of Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia got closer to 3 feet.
Hundreds of thousands of homes were without power with temperatures below freezing all day, and utilities warned it could be days before electricity is restored to everyone. Plows had scraped down to bare pavement on some main thoroughfares while not touching streets in other areas buried by 2 feet or more.
I, personally, am a "hot" guy I can be in 110 degree weather with pants on. Though I've only seen snow twice...and that's like icy snow not powder so it sucked. So I would choose the east coast for the winter. But for the summer I am in Arizona a lot.
I personally love both. snowboarding and surfing are my fav though at the moment i'd rather be in that AMAZING snow since we dont get any of that in yorba linda.
