With the hard crust on top of the snow, it really stands out how much the deer crap everywhere here.

rabbits...i got rabbit poop all over the yard...how they don't freeze to death is a miracle.

Note there is a "predict the cold" contest for the interval Saturday to Monday, thank you for your attention to this matter.

I'm wondering how many deer I may find in the spring. Spring of 2015 we found three deer carcasses, all had starved to death due to the snow cover and size of the herd at the time.

Actually, one needed a Top 10 list. Here it is:

I still find it so disappointing the way 2010/2011 seemed like it was on its way to break all the snowfall records and just died. 
Still a great winter overall for most but the last six weeks a big disappointment for many.

Yea the whole island was done poorly. But we usually don’t get two weeks of below freezing that was the real issue. But still no one cleared the sidewalks kids are walking in the street. Half my street still has snow too

The roads by me was basically plowed as a one way street. Snow is 3-4’ off the edge of curbs and property lines

Same here.  If we had gotten even another foot this past weekend a lot of those would become zero way streets.

And yes, I still wish we had gotten another foot.

Would I be right in assuming Liberty Bell = Weathergeek2005 = Tony? 

Asking because RJay posted a forecast from Tony in contest and RJay's inbox is full so I can't ask him that way.

I respectfully disagree .  I believe this since ever sub being introduced to the ‘cumulative snowpack’ stat (h/t Don), which I think is the best stat how wintry a winter will be remembered, especially by the average person.  I believe that years from now we’ll remember the cold and occasionally frigid temps, but we’ll mostly remember the deep snow and icepack which refused to budge for weeks, as well as the unique nature of the storm itself.
 

Years from now I am mostly going to remember all of the complaining.  As some old accuWx guy used to say, "enjoy the weather ..."

You're thinking of a different stat - "cumulative complaining."

I think Don or Bluewave did a trend analysis of this.

[Roger Smith]

Complaints are proportional to the square of days elapsed since last measurable snowfall. 

C = D(s)^2

Some authorities give

C = D(s)^3
