Lows of 42 and 30 last night and Saturday night, respectively. Might be a good week to throw down some grass seed. -

This is fair, and as you've said, it's all subjective. I would go a bit higher though. I believe you've talked before about grading on the "how often does it look and feel like winter" scale, which I completely agree with, and for me this winter just looked and felt a lot like what winter is supposed to be. Even going back to some of the cold around the Thanksgiving time period and then the relentless cold through the first half of December and again from mid-January through mid-February. The staying power of the snowpack during that stretch was something to behold, plus a number of days where snow was at least in the air. While I agree my 22.3" of snow was nothing overly impressive, it just felt like more, and given expectations and some recent winters, I was pleased. Now, is it fair to grade on that type of curve? Probably not but everything is relative. You are right that March has been mostly a dud but there have still been some very potent cold fronts that have brought about some cool events and it hasn't lacked for feeling like March, despite the positive temp anomaly (some of that may have to do with those aforementioned midnight highs distorting our daily summaries ha). In any case, I thought it was a rock-solid winter pretty much from start to finish -- one I would sign up for again next year if I could right now -- and for that reason I'm going with a B+. Great discussion. -

Snow is beautiful. March in PA is crazy. We are like 4 degrees above average with mean temperature this March. Try to roll with the punches and enjoy it. -

Low of 32 but I was lower prior to midnight. I think 30 was the true overnight low. Shaping up to be a beautiful weekend.
