There was a year (maybe 2012? I was in Philadelphia at the time) where we had back to back snow storms of more than 12" accumulation, about a week and a half apart. It came at a bad time of poor investment in snow clearing equipment and services, so many places had done no cleanup of the first storm before the second one hit. I don't know how the airports faired, but the roads were a deathtrap for weeks.
I remember dragging my desktop to a friend's house to prep for getting snowed in by the storm because I had just moved to the area and was living alone and didn't have much food at the time.
