Anecdotally I've shoveled snow literally one time this year (and last) and haven't bothered to pull out the snow blower in the last three years.

Within the last month in the US midwest it got below -50 with windchill and over 2 feet of snow

Coldest and snowiest winter where I live in Colorado for many years.

This is what Colorado used to look like in the winter (source native). Also this: http://www.thorntonweather.com/noaa/snow.php

I dunno. I feel like Iowa classifies as the midwest as well and we've had a couple cold days but that's about it.

Funny, I was in Iowa recently and being unable to shower because the pipes froze + decent snowfall was definitely a meme
