Dec 2013 is an underrated really good month that just got really spoiled by the grinch storm. 

I do think, it's subjective of course, that 13-14 is a massively underrated season. It had a perfect D-J-F. The last minute March rug pull did burn a lot and ended the season on a very sour note which kinda spoils it, and the storm you just mentioned. Otherwise it was phenomenal from NY to BOS. Some really cold storms too that year.

Not underrated here. It’s by far my favorite winter season. It was wall to wall winter in DC from January 3 to St. Paddy’s Day.

Was March 14 where we had that epic storm bail last minute? If I remember it still got the cape and buried Atlantic Canada.

yea. ill do a map for it eventually but i didnt include it in the archive since 3"+ amounts were confined to the cape and islands. They were supposed to get much more there too but still did ok

Snowfall totals from this event. Overall the forecast was ok, large gap in pcp in NE/E CT, RI, MA though 

Had 0.3" total before we warmed up.

Death, taxes and a cutter the week leading up to Christmas.

Excellent winter capped by a cold and snowy March that brought the pack to 43".

Surprise 0.9" on the board this morning, total now 24.0".

Yeah it was a legendary winter in the colder suburbs of DC/Baltimore, went all the way from early December to the end of March and by the end even I was sick of the cold, which almost never happens.

I consider it a close second to 2009-10 where I’m from in the mid-Atlantic.

Here in Worcester it was a half white Christmas. Snow is patchy, but probably still has majority coverage.

In DC proper we missed the mid-December event and had to wait for a bit, but once we turned the page to January it was amazing.

2013-14 was the snowiest, most severe winter on record for southeast Michigan. Will never see another winter like that again, and its legendary status makes the common folk forget all about so many other great winters of the 2000s-2010s. For your region, what happened in 2015 probably overshadows 2013-14.
