Looks more like Gronk wrote it.

I think April 1, 1997 is now number 2 for me, but its close...I wasn't very precise with measurements back in HS. I think March 2018 edged it out with 31.5", but the former was far more impressive, regardless. I think after that Jan 2015 and Feb 2013 are about neck and neck at around 27". Feb 2013 was second only to March 1993 in terms of wind.

Why is the print in hieroglyphics?
-
Hell, it was only even below average by 1991-2020 climo...it wasn't that cold, it was merely wintry relative to the past several seasons is all anyone was implying...I thought that was pretty clear.
-
The statement says more about how dreadful of a stretch we have been in than the remarkability of this past season...agreed.
-
Well, the whole premise was that it was the most consistently wintry season in years, so what are you arguing exactly?
-
Nobody said it was normal in terms of snowfall.
-
I average the same as you and consistent snowpack for the better part of two months has not been common for several years. False.
-
Yea, even though it sucked for snowfall in my area, it was the most consistently wintry season since at least 2018-2019 and perhaps 2017-2018...but hell, 2018 had an extrordinarly warm deviation from winter during February and even 2014-2015 began late, so one could make a case to go back as far as 2013-2014. Did I enjoy this season? No...it blew, but I need to keep it real.
-
Well, even though some got porcked in the snowfall department, December was a pretty wintry month and that hasn't been the case in years....so its defintely not any shorter than any other recent seasons.

2025-2026 ENSO

Well, lets see how the DM period ends here because March will definitely be warmer than 2014, so we are going to make up some ground here in terms of warmer departures. I know some folks forecast DF, but I do DM. -
2024-2025 La Nina

You can see the trend that @bluewavewas alluding to the data, whereas the stretch in the 20's had a more even distribution, while this pasat decade is more "boom or bust"...its more an average of extremes now, as oposed to a cluster of near normal seasons back then. -
If I'm being honest, I would have expected a bit more snowfall had I known it would be that cold...that being said, I knew by mid January it wasn't going to come together this season.
-
I don't think that is just a CC issue...I mean, the longer term, multidecadal trend certainly is, but we have had colder outbreaks in more recent history.
-
I wasn't talking about snow
-
No...last of it went yesterday....I still have some ice sheets in the ditches as of last night, but no pack per se. Still piles along the sides of the driveway...
-
Scott, no one would hold it against you if you just rounded up
-
Better than nothing? But who knows?? Wolfie does???
-
It was a decent storm, but in a relative sense, yes....I had 11".
-
Haha Now we get to watch the Tug melt out while we maintain the mall schmegma piles!!
-
Perhaps it wasn't as ideal for delivery of arctic air into the NE as you think....I know for a fact that the February arctic shot loaded west of us, but perhaps you are right about earlier in the season.
-
We had an arctic outbreak that was much colder than anything we saw this past season just two years ago, so its not simply an issue of CC.....we also so immense cold a bit earlier this decade, but it loaded into the center of the country.
