40/70 Benchmark Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'd give myself an A- in the big cities, a D- across interior SNE, and an F across CNE/NNE/upstate NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I think Kevin had just over 47"? 44.5 for me. Nice job with the big cities. I also did not expect such a March/April Bruins performance over the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Nice job avoiding the ratter. Yeah he was like 10-12 inches below normal, lol. Not exactly a full on ratter...though when your personal expectations for winter are like 1-2 sigma better than normal, then I guess slightly below normal to normal is considered a ratter.

MJO812 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 NYC: 32.1" PHL: 27.5" BWI: 35.1" DCA: 22.2" ALB: 16.9" BDL: 26.9" PVD: 28.7" ORH: 47.2" BTV: 32.2" PWM: 49.6" CON: 29.7" NYC 32.1" JFK finished over 41 inches Someone must be measuring wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 3-4 warning criteria events is a wire to wire ratter, I'd hate for you to go entire season(s) without a 6"+ event.Anyway, 20 years from now they'll remember the ratter in some spots of the Northeast but probably not for NE CT when they see 40-50" out of a 50-60" average.

Now that the season is shut down.. My suggestion would be to move on to summer and vacations etc. Emotionally you really must move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't even close to a wire to wire ratter from where he lives and points east. What a selective memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a snow standpoint, it's almost impossible to argue wire to wire ratter there...if you threw in temps, you can make a better argument. But even so, this winter had at least a couple two week stretches of decent snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure most judge winter by snow, and with that metric.....I have a difficult time seeing ratter there and points east. Some are just spoiled.

tamarack Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Subjective should also contain some objectivity.....some rationale logic. Subjectively, it was a drowned rat here - only had to run the snowblower twice, pretty ugly for a place that averages nearly 90". Objectively, my winter can't compare for dead-rattiness with ALB/BTV and points between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objectively, my winter can't compare for dead-rattiness with ALB/BTV and points between. For an area that does not have a huge variance in snowfall like we do down here, what occurred in your area....well especially ALB-BTV, was astonishing.

I say tat Yeah, I put your personal scale above...your "average" winter you expect is actually something like in the top 25% of all winters at your location. So you live in a place that will get a majority ratters on your own grading scale. You've just been lucky recently with several 1-2 SD winters above normal.
