Plua this winter was definitely the biggest tease I ever witnessed. I mean, just taking the snowfall (35ish inches), plus it seemed relatively cold for the most. It would probably be around a C. However, when the details are added in, it definitely pushes things to the D range, even lower D end. A cold, snow-less winter would be the ultimate F winter....This winter was a tease and if it wasn't for the March "storm", it would have been an F...

For me, average snowfall is a C (a 75) I’ve received around 75% of average and that is a 56% F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Plus having no snow basically for Dec and most of Jan. Feb was meh. March has been good. Nov was good. Temps were average here. No great cold but some decent cold. No big events here. Best event for me was the Windex squall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 ...oh god, now we have to subjectively debate what grade is a ratter -...hahaha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I mean if you’re using a common grading scale... a C grade is average. So average snowfall, C grade in my opinion, then you factor in whatever else you want. I didn’t hit average here, so I can’t justify giving this winter a C and when you factor in the majority of the snow fell in the fringe months, it takes it even lower. And the rain, bitter cold, rinse repeat cycle brings it down some more. Essentially, didn’t reach average and met winter blew, a D grade is quite generous in this area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well see ... this statement tries to be more logical than pure subectivity ... I give you credit there, actually... because your statement is really more "relative" than it is subjective... and, it is relative to seasonal normal respective of geography. What I meant by subjective is 'whether one got their rocks off by the winter' and how good the orgasm was in doing so.... metaphorically speaking of course. It's called dark-ish sarcasm. But ...like all sarcasm has an element of truth to it, ... truth be [attempted] it would be fairer to do the regional-relative to seasonal normals thing, and let the subjective success vs failure narratives end up in poems, song and prose.

A ratter is defined by one's heart and soul as well as life experiences. Be it heating bills, sledding, nape tanning, model failure, its all relative as well as subjective. In the end, when one is on their death bed surrounded by family, the many ratters one experienced will fade from consciousness and vanish. As with a lot in life, snowfall etc. mean nothing when all is said and done. All that matters is family and friends and the good times we had with the aforementioned. GO YANKEES AND GIANTS!

Used to be about 50/50 Sox/Yanks up here when I was growing up. It’s much more Sox now. Same with Canadiens/Bruins buts that’s shifted towards Boston now. There is still some Giants support too. For a time in the 50’s or 60’s they had a training camp in Burlington. Now it’s mainly Pats as the older fans that remember die off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
