It's time to grade Winter 2025-26(now that it's actually over)

[CAPE]

This winter was impressively cold overall, but some/much of that cold was wasted. Some areas did well with frozen precip opportunities wrt climo, others not so much. Time to grade it.

I've got to go D+ for my yard. Only 60% of climo snowfall and the 5th year in a row of sub 20" Seasonal snowfall. 

Which was unheard of until the last 5 years, Going all the way back to 1899 when records started at HGR.

Sad run of winters honestly for Northern and western areas.

Third season in a row with climo snow and an extended period of cold. This winter was really cool. Lots of really memorable experiences related to ice. I also spent 5 days on the Tug Hill getting clobberd by LES. I also chased the coastal blizzard in February. I spent that storm in Harrington Delaware.

C+/B-. I don't like dry and cold, which it was a lot. The 11" storm sticking around for a month was awesome though. The other 4 months were meh. I think it only snowed (flurries or more) 11 times. Edit: the early Dec storm overperformed and I got 7"! Loved that one, there were 20+ flashes of green lightning.
