Solid B for me. Rationale? Generally below climo snow west of the beltway, despite impressive stretches of cold. The holiday period was arguably the longest sustained AN period of the entire winter, and while it wasn’t as long or as mild as seasons past, the timing was horrible. I would happily trade a good holiday period for mild most other times, I travel too much for work and this is the one time of year I am mostly around and not too busy to enjoy what’s happening around me. A lot of the cold and snow we did receive in early December, January and February was wasted for me, I was simply not around to enjoy it. This makes 5 winters of having a place at DCL, time speeding up is another peril of middle age (kids, take note, there are many). There have been few big storms during this period, historically speaking even warm, east based ninos are known to produce here and I am looking forward to the potential next winter even if it is much milder.

There will definitely be some 80s though down in the NYC area.. 900mb temps are progged to reach 13-15C on Wednesday, with 850mb temps at 11-13C. This could produce highs in the lower 80s in the typically warmest spots in the NE NJ urban corridor and adjacent areas.

OK in all seriousness I'd have to give it a B or B+. Yeah, we missed out on more snow which was indeed frustrating, but it's hard to top the 2 straight weeks below freezing, deep winter. And "snowcrete" was pretty cool, 5-6" snow with 2" sleet on top that turned into a solid layer that went nowhere for a long time. I could literally walk on top of it without pushing into the snow. And though we missed the big snow for February, I still got 3-4" when it fell at a good clip for awhile in the evening. Not to mention, the amazing turnaround with 80 degrees one day followed by half an inch or so of snow the next day in early March.

I took out my driveway markers today.

.5 to 1 inch ain't gonna do much long term.

I’ll take the under on 80° although 75-77° is possible.

We need more than that. Better than nothing I guess

Going with a D in Frederick. Only saving grace was the Snowcrete storm and the extended cold afterwards. Been a very disappointing streak of winters up here.

Damp and swampy. Glad I washed the car today

I agree but I think BDL pulls an 80. Every forecast high here always seems to run way higher than forecasted..

Just saw your thread about next winter. If a 2002-03 season happens then I’d be over the moon

Last trace of snow at the end of my driveway melted out today.

I certainly don't think we should be resigned to it.

This coming week has major ass signals NoP for sure. Tuesday going down the tubes. Good luck at DAW.

Looks like we're gonna get some rain this week. April showers bring May flowers and all that.

How’s next winter looking? Should we brace ourselves for a Super Nino?

I think a season like 1991-1992 is more of a threat than 2015-2016.

Lock it in

even when i went out this morning temps mid 30's with less wind it did feel kinda warm wearing a hoodie coat hat and gloves..

Of course they were calling for snow last week...

Those are weak records for 4/1.

GEFS, EPS, and Euro all throw us well into the warm sector now. Highs at least 60 degrees for many, even if it rains.

Time to change the avatar to summer. Its coming..

I think we get 1 more shot in April

No warmth on the Euro N of the Pike and ... heh, fronts seldom stall there, so may as well drill it to Morristown NJ... BD Tuesday relays to a cold front/CAA --> cycles all over again out to 300 hours, ending in an April snow storm. Have a nice day
