Yeah, would way rather have it this way than the other. On paper 17-18 was good but the majority of the snow fell from Feb-Apr. Same with 04-05.

10-11, 13-14 and 20-21...also very good winters that had a dead March.

Last good March we had was 2019 that was right at the beginning. 2018 was the last real banger.

We had an okay week up here before the torch with 2 moderate events totaling a foot. But yeah, a chicken and beer finish overall. 

Back to the midgets here.  After the Jan 25-27 fluff bomb we were 31% over the average YTD.  The 7 weeks since are just over 50%, and falling.

I was just reviewing 93/94 winter 87" up here seemed similar to this year

I had about 15 inches in March 2018. All the coastals bombed out too late or far to the east.

There will probably be some nuisance colder-profile storm on April 7th or something that drops 1-3" of slop somewhere in elevated SNE. But I'm pretty much done with winter at this point. 

our last snow last year was in mid April.. hoping for the same this year

[SJonesWX]

had a visit from 

wind blew the storm door open, door got wedged into the railing/ballister. Busted the little shock thingy. not sure how the glass didn’t break, it had to have been pretty violent to do what it did.

my grill is on 4 little wheels and the wind blew that across the deck but no damage

Same here

I think we are done here with snow but could never rule it out.

93-94 was a snowfall record breaker here, and at BDL. Then two years later 95-96 beat that winter again for an another snowfall record.  But 93-94 was better for us WOR than this year has been. But that’s just speaking for us WOR.  If the Feb blizzard really delivered for us here…that would have been the difference for us WOR.  A great winter this year no doubt…but not as good as 93-94 for us.

Probably the wrong thread… This winter was going to solidly be in A territory for me, but completely skunking March unfortunately will have some weight and knock it down into the B range. Having said that, if I had the choice between the two I’d take a front loaded winter as opposed to the other. I like the cold, low sun angle snow that tends to hang around more easily and having holiday snow and all of that. March snow is cool, it just melts so damn quick, always battling the spring sun.

Yup, any snow is awesome snow…I like March snow..especially siggy March snow. But as you said, if we got to choose, or had to choose between the two, I’d choose the front loaded side of things for the same reasons.

how far above average above climo snowfall, approximately, are you?  "B"-grade seems harsh

I worked out an office WOR back then, one of my favorite winters, I was driving Toyota Tacoma 4-wheel drive and never got stuck.

Nice country up there though. Haven’t been to MQT but have been to the Mackinac Bridge a few times

I get his point though. It’s a subjective combination of multiple factors. Losing a month has to negatively impact the overall score.

Looks like Montague had a microburst

A couple reasons I wouldn't even consider an A- for my area. First, the Blizzard was really nothing I haven't seen in 50 other smallish storms. Second, too few events. I mean sure we had several small ones, but to be an A for me it needs to be pretty much wall to wall events. I'd give it a solid B because of the long pack retention and on time start of the season. By March even in the best winters I'm pretty much done so I don't use it to sway my vote much, however if we had a prolific first two weeks, I'd move to B+

Got used to the furnace quieting down... now this. We're weaning off the gas and leaning on pellets more this time of year. as long as the living room is warm, I don't care about the rest of the house... until we're back at pipe freeze temps!

Official was 81 I saw. They mentioned some of the instruments false readings.

Some interesting things here and there on the models, but nothing that really sticks out.
