F winter here. That's a hard grade to earn from me, and this winter got it.
This winter had a very difficult, an exhausting character. There were many threats, and many opportunities to cash in, and it never happened.
Some portions of elevated Southern New England cashed in nicely. Unfortunately, that's where the least amount of our population lives.
Also, some of the mix events were not 50F cutters; but events that were off by just 1F-2F, teasing us with white rain for hours and hours.
At the end of the day, these winters are going to happen. This one was just far worse than most below average seasons.
The way I look at it, you have to be mentally prepared to strike out. It's a pretty simple part of this game, that many winters will not be all that good.
Just remember you are getting a ratter out of the way, and next winter will be better.
