Here in Sammamish WA at 615’ elevation our first snow of the year is just about completely melted. We never got more than about an inch, though it came down all day one day because it was 33F and wet so didn’t pile up. So our seasonal total to date is 1”.

Is that lake near you frozen over? Does it ever? I wish the climo airport site in Seattle measured snowfall.
Here's from CoCoRaHS. Only 0.1" from Mercer Island. 5.7" in Hoodsport near Olympic Forest. 32.5" in Leavenworth, wonder if thats a Ski resort?
What's amazing about Buffalo and central/northern NY in generall...is the difference between western NY and eastern NY is so large. Buffalo has had 50 inches of snow...but due east in Albany, they have only 16 inches of snow for the season.

There is a mountain range dividing the state, and different large water bodies (Great Lakes vs Atlantic Ocean) affecting local weather.
Without the lake effect snow in WNY this season, snow totals wouldn't have been very different between Albany and Buffalo. Don't have to look far to see even greater differences just in WNY - this week's storms had some local areas just a few miles apart with a few inches of snow, others with several feet.

Albany is not too out of line with non-lake effect southern Ontario - many parts of southern Ontario might have had around that amount and southern Ontario is generally colder. In my town, we had 26.5" so far, but our winters are 5F colder than Albany's, so it makes sense. The 40"+ towns are Georgian Bay lake effect snowbelt areas.
