B winter snowfall

A winter temps

A- winter snow cover (it’d be higher if the sleet didn’t ruin the top layer for three weeks… kids didn’t want to play on it, dog didn’t even want to go out in it)

Agreed on the grades. My dogs were fine in it. My kids too old, but my 19 year old built a massive snowman before the big storm and it finally lost its head today. I dont think ive ever seen a snowman stay together for 30+ days

IDK how anyone in the northeast can give it less than a B. Snowcover and cold are how I judge winters. I could care less about big storms. I like the ground to have coverage and there to be cold temps.

lol brutal here we go! Gfs will be next to lose it in the next few minutes Barley a B winter.

It’s an above average winter but if it ended today we’d be about average snowfall. Feb has been a major disappointment - a big storm this weekend would push me to an A.

Going back to when I moved to the area post grad school, 09-10, 10-11, 13-14, 14-15, 17-18, 20-21 all way better snow wise

That whole timeframe was an anomaly, though.

Id kill for an average winter. And you guys had a shit stretch so I dont get the complaints from some (not you) about only getting average snow.

Sure

Growing up, 92-93, 93-94, 95-96, 00-01, 02-03, 04-05 all better. That’s 12 out of my 45 years as better…

This winter is roughly average snowfall with well above average snow cover and well below normal temps

Of those factors, snowfall is what I care about most.

B

From 1978-79 to 1992-93, there was not a single well above normal snowfall winter.

Yeah all told this our 2nd best year this decade. 25-35” areawide.

Perhaps and I'd add 03-04 to your list of better. However, of the La Nina years we have seen the last 26 years, I thought this winter would be an 08-09 style winter with an outside shot at a 00-01 winter best case scenario. Regardless of the outcome with the Sunday/Monday storm we at least matched up closely to 08-09. Maybe not quite exactly there but it's similar with a colder lean than even 08-09 albeit a bit less snow for some.

I’m at 10 ski days and heading to Banff in late March.

Sucks it’s been so bad out that way. Having appreciable snow cover for basically a month straight makes me more ready for the turning of the season

Gfs might be good judging off 500 but I’m also still learning snd not a pro so don’t put much stock into it 🤣

Yes 03-04 was better. You could argue 05-06 too (was in Boston and Dec 05 storm was sick)

08-09 was in State College where squalls are the most exciting winter events but I remember a nice 9 incher while home in Dec in CT

00-01 is a criminally underrated winter

10-11 was also a Nina and the best 5 week stretch you will ever see. Saw storms of 26”, 10”, 24”, then 14”. Epic

Check back tomorrow guys. This could be the typical range where the models lose it.

00-01 is underrated because of what happened March 5. If that storm was a big one, that winter would have been an a+

Nvm gfs sucks
