    I adjusted the numbers just now after double checking my records. My 11 year avg since I moved here is 45.2”. My median is 35” and last year I had 34.7” so it was pretty much a median winter although it came in a crappy way with a string of fringe jobs and then a really late spring storm.  But still I can’t call that crap. Crap for up here is if I don’t break 30” which happens about 3/10 years. 

    Using coop data from Westminster, miller’s, and Hanover gives a 30 year mean ~40” but the spot I live (on top of Dug Hill at 1050 feet in extreme northeast Carroll a little north of Manchester) gets more snow than all 3 of those spots. Sometimes I even get more snow than Manchester in really marginal elevation dependent storms.  So it’s hard to tell what the real longer term avg is.  It’s probably closer to 43-44” though as 2010 when I had 101.7” is still skewing the avg up. 

    Hot damn 43-44”. That’s ridiculous.

    Never said it was good. I ended up 9” below my avg but exactly at median...exactly like Baltimore. And it came about the same way. And I wouldn’t say I had a good winter.  Mediocre would be my adjective of choice.  But some up here were acting like it was a complete disaster. That’s reserved for winters where Baltimore ends up in the single digits on snowfall or I don’t break 30”. That’s the bottom 30% winters. 

    Do you average like 40”?
