Since winter weather is finished for most on the forum (for many it was finished in mid-January), with the exception for places like Moose Knuckle, Maine, Deer Toe, Vermont, and Bear Claw, NH, it’s time to recap. The grades (all items are equally weighted) Overall Seasonal Snowfall: F (farce) With a paltry 11” total for the season I didn’t even come close to my seasonal average. This is the first time in my life that I have lived in an area that received less than a foot of snow for a season. This includes 4 winters in the mid-Atlantic, and 5 winters in R.I. Snow vs. Rain: F (futility) There were so many rain events I lost count. Staying power/ (number of days) of pack: F (forlorn) Pack? Pack my bags and moving to the Sierra Nevada’s for winter next winter…or possibly next week to capitalize on what continues to be a beyond epic winter for that region. Local winter enjoyment: F (foolish) Cold days with zero walkable ice on the lake, and now on the ground made for a miserable depressing, brown landscape of death and despair. Temperature: C There were plenty of cold days, but with bad system timing, and atmospheric dynamics (is such even a thing?), any cold was pretty much useless. Snowstorms/ events (quality/ quantity): F (feeble) 2 events brought about 4” each (mid dec, and late feb). Big fu.cking deal. Overall Grade: F (f.uck you winter 22/23) The pros here will say that there was so much potential…I say, fuc.k potential. It’s all about results. Potential is like hiring the fresh-out-of-school kid because the hiring team sees so much potential in him, By the time his 90-day probationary period is over they find out that he was hanging out at his desk watching gamer girls on Twich play video games in hot tubs, and goat porn most of the time. But it’s too late because the days, weeks, and months were lost, having zero production.- 64 replies

Not much to really say here. This winter was an abysmal wet mess, best to be forgotten. The grades (all items are equally weighted) Overall Seasonal Snowfall: F Well under average snow fell. This may have been my worst snowfall ever in any of the places I have lived (Albany, NY area, Lake George area, Bristol, R.I., Washington DC, Arlington, VA, Boston, Ma, Stoughton, MA, Brooklyn, CT) . I don't think I have ever had a winter season where the snow total was less than half of the average. Even the 2011/2012 had more snow. Snow vs. Rain: D+ Such an ongoing sh.itty set up for my area from January onward, and it seemed to just repeat itself all season. Cold rain was king. Staying power of the pack: F Pack? Local winter enjoyment: D- Limited hikes(w/ snow) hikes or snow, and zero snow shoeing hikes. Temperature: D Snow Storm Quality: C- Only one "memorable" event was the first event of the season, December 1-3. There were ZERO double digit events. Overall Grade: F The Vid took my mind off of the later part of the season, but even a late blooming April event couldn't save what was a complete and utter dead rat of a winter. On to the upcoming 2020/2021, Winter of Mask
