Landed at JFk. Looks like it barely snowed. Did 16” of snow melt today?!

Bismarck and Minneapolis both average about 50 inches for a full season. So neither is that low year to date. Minneapolis may even be above normal. 
 

I'm sure Denver is below. Billings may not be that far off.  

snowfall in  colorado has trended downhill the last 10-15 years..

58” for the season here. Islip cleaning up this season! 
 

This is turning into a high end winter. To me anything 60+ is a big time winter 

[Prue11]

60” here on the season. A winter 

[North and West]

Yeah, looks like the usual warmer spots will make it into the 50s on Saturday.

Thanks for this.  Is it easily known where those other years stood on February 25th?

54" on the season after today. I agree with the 60+ number being the bar for an epic winter. That does seem to be the bar set from previous epic winters.
