Depends on your definition of good. All the seasons except 11-12 were above normal IMBY, but my totals pale in comparison to what occurred in SNE

you mean parts of sne...i never had a season much more than 20 inches above average...

 

i just thought the two seasons i mentioned were the best ones overall in the mhv

Yes, that's what a meant, I know that your area was too far NW a number of times. I don't have access to my records at the moment but can post tomorrow how all those seasons played out IMBY if you're interested.

If you average 45- 50 inches a year than a bit more than 20 inches more than normal is around 50% more than your average. Subtract the same 50% off the normal, and I'm sure your in the ballpark of what you wind up with by the time it's over.

I really laugh when I read all these winter laments. We have come through a period in recent years locally where we have gotten more snow annually than my house up in Lake George. There is a 30 year average for a reason. Sometimes, averages are reached by periods of extremes. This is just nature evening things out.

 

Laugh if you will, but If the amount of snowfall were the only thing that makes up a decent winter I might nod in agreement, however we are living through one of the top 3 warmest met winters in history, which is as aggravating to me as the lack of snowfall and all of the missed opportunities.

 

Give me a winter of snowfall 10 inches below my average, and temperatures near or slightly below for the season with a period of several weeks of sustained snow pack and I'm a happy camper. That would make me feel like we at least had winter this year. I go into March feeling like at the end of the month we will transition from fall to spring.

They just chaged the one earlier from 1.7 to 0.6. If people are feeling these, I have a hard time believing they're earthquakes. Depth was changed to 4.2km.

I dunno, 11/12 was warm and dry and weak (I had 5" for the season) then the last two were great.  So this one is warm and weak too, at least I'll go well over 20", ehh whatever.  We have been setting records in all sorts of ways which has been cool, we've had all sorts of learning opportunities and my aging back got a break from shoveling  :whistle:  How do you think they felt the last few years out west where they're used to seeing a couple hundred inches and they were playing golf in February and buying water in 5 gallon jugs while needing paper plates because they had no water to wash dishes?  I bet they weren't having silly internet spats like we've seen this winter from people that live in an area that is notoriously fickle for snowfall but have been spoiled by a few good decades.
