Most of the region has still seen below normal snowfall amounts.

A new year, new weather? Only slightly. While there has finally been measurable snowfall, most of the region, including 29 of the 35 major airport climate sites, has still received below normal snowfall amounts. The departures are not as great as they were in December though, and lake-effect prone areas such as Buffalo, NY and Erie, PA have received above-normal snowfall.
