I would gladly take a winter with several small to medium sized events. There were 2 problems with this winter in that regard for my area. It had one medium sized snow event(that under performed) and 2 light ones. everything else was less than an inch front end slop that was gone with the main rain event that followed (and I am still not close to climo). That leads to the other problem- the general character of the winter. Cutter city. Yeah many of our events are flawed, but rarely if ever this winter, in the short range, were we looking at a slam dunk widespread frozen event.
