I'll consider this winter a rousing success if we get a solid warning criteria event regionwide for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. I'll gladly sacrifice the rest of winter for a 6" - 10" event that sticks around until the 28th or so. It's so rare in these parts that it would make my criteria as an anomalous event.
It's a shame that we couldn't get the 500 low to be about 100 miles further south. It just nudged everything a bit too far north for everyone to score. Still impressive that you managed over 0.5" in mid November though.
