1993-94 was in no way shape or form better than 1995-96. To be considered an A+ winter, in addition to having more than twice the average snowfall in a given location, it also has to have at least 1 20"+ snowstorm, so that puts 1995-96 and 2002-03 as the only A+ winters. 1996 and 2003 also both had big snowstorms in April which made those exceptionally long snowfall seasons. (2009-10 and 2010-11 are too for New York City in terms of getting the 20+ inch event but neither had a long snowfall season.) 1993-94 gets an A rating but not A+
