Looks like Doug Mac may well be right again, (as usual):
(Read the last lines of the chart. We've seen colder, but this is dang cold for late March.)

We busted a March snowfall record last night. Since they started keeping records in the 1800s. Makes three or four records since back then we have smashed this winter.
Yeah I reported 7.6 inches for last night, but well below the sweet spots closer to a foot. (Both MD and VA)
Good (obscure) record for the great lake areas (credit americanwx):
"If Detroit can top the 100" mark it will mark the first time in recorded history that every place from lake Michigan east along i-94 to Detroit has eclipsed the 100" mark."
I believe they are now only 3" from hitting that, and most expect they will.

Nine inches. And with no sun and in the twenties all day even the stuff in the trees is just sitting there smirking at me.

30 years here and haven't seen this stuff. Especially the low temps. We should be in the mid-fifties about now.

Whatda ya mean,? You don't want our winters? Wonder what the bring it on bunch thinks now? Enjoy the snow BB & the cold, both will be gone all too soon. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
Most amazing thing is all of the snowfalls, ice, two nights of fifty mile an hour wind gusts all night and half the day et. al. And this is the first winter in five or six years when we didn't lose power. For days at at time. Not one time this year. Yet.
Ain't complaining about that part for sure.
A month from now I will be whining about pollen. Or possibly heat. Even though the prior two winters were really cold we hit 90 in the first week of April both years. Then it went straight back down.

For sure. The air conditioners feeds themselves.

Met with two different "old timer" customers this weekend. They both said enough is enough, can't recall the last time they had this cold and this much snow this time of year. That says a lot when they finally say something about it.
Me. Well, I can now get to the compost, garage and shed in bare feet. Granted I'm walking on ice and there's 3' tall walls of snow on either side of the path but I refuse to let winter keep winning. Less than 300 feet round trip, I'm not putting on shoes or coat. Lol.
I am good with the all the seasons but this winter is like a bad case of the bed spins that seem to enter end

Actually we could use your snow & cold. Breakup is coming fast here. Plenty of assets still in the bush. Most days & nights are above 0, we would like that to slow down. I think what we need is for that Jet stream to sag & stay sagged, we can call it the new normal.

Working on it to be sure. BTW early analysis is in on the failed pipe & you folks need to really give XL more thought, or at the very least buy the thicker walled pipe.
Not good up here & we have no where near the flow rate of XL. 
Don't tell BG he just might blow a gasket, those leaky pipelines need all the gasket material we can get our hands on. 
winter is over. I loaded the last split from the porch into the stove before I left this morning. It did not even make a full load. I won't drag any more wood to the porch this year.
Of course mother nature could make me eat those words,,,,,,
