01-02 was a horrible winter and IMO much worse than this one. The 80s and 90s had some dreadful ones too. This winter (while lousy for cold) is definitely not in my bottom 5.
I have been at 31F imby most of the event. It did help as snow basically accumulated immediately. I agree with a B/B - grade. The only issue I had was the constant major meltdowns which made skiing horrible around here.
The January storm, the models had a bit of a SE trend within 24 but reality didn't follow suit as the strong storms tend to be a bit on the northern side of guidance. But yeah I would also like to limit changes/trends at this point
Having totally accurate models 3 or even 5 days out would be great; however; a weather board like this would become boring. Part of what make the weather the fun to me is all the unknowns, clown maps, disappointments and triumphs.
