I think because many of us were still getting snow after the end of the met winter, there may have been a desire to hold...out...just...a...little...bit...longer!
There were instances where some of us were getting more during storms in March than those in December.
In any case, I got 15.62" between November 1st and March 31 (13.57" of that in D-J-F). My 2 biggest events were 1/7/22 (4.50") and 1/29/22 (4.75").
