I guess to clarify...
Jan was cold and we've had pack since 12/18, but we've had a lot of nickle and diming with sloppy events. The regional biggies we were grazed on. While Ray was bitching about only getting a foot, we got 5". The big NNE event we got mostly cold rain and then a ton of sleet. The cold was mostly useless.
Maybe F is a little harsh because I do appreciate the consistent pack that has protected my fruit trees from the few extreme cold shots. Maybe I'll go D-
