Am I debating your grade for the winter? Lol...

Snowpack in the region now below year ago levels.

100% agree. Kind of linexgshibg a fantastic summer…but then September gets cool and rainy…would that lower a summer grade? Not at all in my book. September is supposed to steer cooling down anyway(sometimes it doesn’t) ..so same reasoning.

Ya, I’m not quite understanding his/that reasoning there either? As I was thinking, and as you said as well, we are at the very end now, 4 days of warmth in the second week of March doesn’t drop a grade in my opinion either. But again..to each their own.

I don't think I could ever use March to drop a grade, but I could use March to raise a grade. March is too much of a transition month and *typically* the best chances for widespread accumulating snowfall are going to come during the first half of the month versus the second half of the month. Sure March can be cold and snowy but March can also be rather mild. March (to me) is like a stat padding month, hence it can act to boost the grade. But if winter was pretty damn solid going into March and March doesn't deliver...oh well. Not going to let that downgrade what was a fun winter.

Will the sleet help cool the pavement faster?

Some flakes already starting to mix in at 39F in Haymarket.

Thanks, but we don’t need some Philly interloper coming into our forum before almost every event to troll us about whatever. We can see, read models and understand our climo without the need for some shit ass poster 100+ miles from here telling us about our own sub forum’s weather.

Mixing started 10 minutes ago.

IAD sounding, 12z. warm later above a very shallow cold layer at 900mb or so. Subtract a few degrees across the board and it's a sleet sounding upports some sleet mixing in

Yes because of the historic record breaking snowfall...and I explained why in my previous reply to you..I highly doubt any of us will ever experience something like that again during our lifetimes...although I hope we do lol

Some pingers mixed in in Westminster

Pingers mixing in at Telford. 41F

Sleet helped with the snowcover I'm an A as well being in the same county. Ill add multiple lows below zero as well with the coldest being -7°. As of yesterday, ice was still on Boonton Lake that you can see from 287. It must have been really thick for it to still be there after the temps recently.

Snowing good at Cataloochee ski area with the ground turning white.

Snowing here in Augusta County 2 hours earlier than modeled NW of Staunton. 39 degrees.

Can you do 1992-93 and 1993-94, as both were really good snow seasons? The archive would feel incomplete without the Blizzard of 1993.

March weather is wild! Had a darn near flood come through about 45 mins ago lightning and thunder, temps have dropped 17 degrees here since 6:30 am.

It’s snowing outside of Boone per my cameras.

Down to 44F. Think we'll see some flakes but that's about it, no stick-age though...

Today, the atmosphere is dumping a cooler full of ice onto the hot pavement

Cousin in Todd said they just switched over.

So 5 warm days this March takes a letter grade off of winter, but an F for the entire first half of 14-15 still results in an A at the end.

Just wanted to shout out similar archives that have snowfall maps for many significant storms that i never knew even existed until i started working on this last year, except Ray's which is very prominent. A lot of them were helpful in finding additional snowfall reports for past storms. I will add this to the first post on this thread as well.
