We ended up with 20" officially of powder, drifts to 5' so it kind of depended on location. My patio set disappearred. The 20" of snow equalled 2" of rain, so as long as you shoveled early it wasn't to bad to deal with. Just got to love the up slope storms, clean streets in the morning 3' drifts in the evening.
No longer dreaming of a white Christmas

Merry Christmas to All!
