You nailed it, it’s all about perspective! The 2.6” of snow and temps all day in the teens from the Jan 31 event normally would’ve been a great storm, but being I got probably the lowest total forum wide (at least in the Carolina’s) that was the least enjoyable storm I can ever remember. Really sapped the joy out of what was a beautiful scene the next morning.
Anyone complaining about this winter from NYC north I don’t have much sympathy for, they literally have had month+ long snowpack and are almost guaranteed area wide to be above average by March with below normal temps pretty much the entire winter to the point they saw ocean ice and the rivers froze. Once they hit climo you see the venting go way down but no one up there can say this was a bad winter even if they don’t because even in THE BEST winters it’s hard to get the sustained cold and snowpack all the way to the beach they’ve had.
DC I can KINDA side with, a lot of the early storms missed them to the south and their big storm turned into a sleet bomb, but they have also enjoyed deep winter with snowpack pretty much until this week though they may not hit climo
im sure there will be a time to grade winter here but its hard not to feel disappointed in the triangle, and thats mostly due to perspective from missing the areas one big storm
