Guess it’s a sign I’m getting older but I think I’m looking forward to spring? Green grass, 60s/low 70s. Unfortunately, I know we will have that for a week before the 90s wanna show up.

Yeah. Sure was nice yesterday. Just want a good spring with spring type weather.

..RECORD DAILY LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SET AT ASHEVILLE  
 

  THE HIGH TEMPERATURE WAS ONLY 28 DEGREES MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23 AT THE   ASHEVILLE REGIONAL AIRPORT. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD LOW MAXIMUM OF   29 DEGREES, SET IN 1989. RECORDS FOR THE ASHEVILLE AREA GO BACK TO 1869.

Probably should have posted in the Mountain thread.

Wrapping up this winter:
 

1/25 - 2.5” of mostly sleet 

1/31 - 7” of champagne powder 

2/5 - 1” of icing on the cake to freshen up my champagne powder 

Season total: 10.5”

Notable: Several cold periods with rare staying power. I went about 3 weeks with some sort of ice/snow coverage on the ground. 

Complaints? Few. Wish Christmas would’ve been cold but it felt like a winter of old. 
 

Final grade: A+ 

This winter reminded me so much of when I was a kid. Multiple storms, including one good slop fest, a true snow and sneak-up event that was minor. It’s hard to be mad at this past season. I really hope this is the start of a better long term pattern, and even if it’s not, it was good to see we’re capable of going above average in snow/sleet accumulation not entirely dependent on one event.

For me its-

1/17- .25" surprise dusting

1/25- 2" of mostly sleet .25 ZR

1/31- 5" of wind blown powder

2/5- .5"

 

Season total- 7.25" and .25 ZR

 

Final Grade- B+

I can't give it an A here and quite frankly its more of a B or B- when comparing to the 30 year average but when comparing to the last 10 years it was a solid winter. We broke our non WSW criteria drought, had multiple events for the first time in years and quite a bit to track during that 4 week period. I can't give it an A because we still didn't get a true southern Miller A paste bomb and it was generally dry.

You guys got shafted on that 1/31 storm but at least it still beat warning criteria for sure. 
 

This winter ranked high in the excitement category. I still can’t believe we had almost a full month of wall to wall tracking. I absolutely can’t remember the last time that happened.
