Of course I have more leeway later in the season then those to my south and especially those in the cities. So I can somewhat realistically expect chances deep into March if not early April on occasion. Oh I know.

JakkelWx Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I give this winter a C-. Satisfactory but fell just short of climo. It was a good run, now I hibernate until next winter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 This winter gets a B since I hit climo. Deep Creek gets a C-...only at 70% of climo there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I’d rate this winter a solid B pending our late month HECS. Can’t really rate it lower given that I’m at climo+, but about as low as I could rank such a winter. Lack of a flake between November 15 and January 11 brings it down. Even a couple small events in December would have probably brought this up to A-/A for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Ah, the Ravens...free agency couldn't have started off any worse!! I mean, the Mosley deal from the Jets was completely ridiculous (we woulda had to pay him 19 mil a year to beat that!)

We only get a few weeks each spring and fall where climo is basically perfect for temperature and precipitation. I don't think we really like going from "winter" to summer, unless there's going to be some severe or tropical action on the table. I am tired of fast transitions. Be nice to enjoy low dews and refreshing temps for a bit. I mean, I always expect a freak'in humid and hot summer every year. Keep those bugs at bay too.

87storms Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 this winter is a tough call. i want to say B-, but if you take away the january event, this would probably a C-/D+ winter. does the jan event really make this is a B-? i don't think i can do it. C+ seems appropriate when you add everything up (january event plus a few smaller ones minus not having any prolonged cold and too much rain). C+ (like a 78/79 out of 100) one more sizable snow would have placed this firmly into B+/B territory. maybe we can still weasel our way into one more snowstorm. what's more odd about this winter than anything was how average it was. usually it's boom or bust.

Fozz Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Assuming it's all over, I give this winter a C+ since I'm roughly around my median, but didn't quite hit climo and saw a lot of storms miss either north or south. Not to mention, not a single warning criteria snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Ended up right at average climo, which puts it above the median, arguing for a B or B-. But only two "sled-able" events and the lack of snowcover argue for a C. I'll join the chorus at a C+. By the way, this pretty much kills off any argument that people have of whether they want to get to climo with a variety of smaller and medium events or one blockbuster. Give me a 20" bomb and nothing else over this winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Apparently 2 big FA acquisitions by the Ravens today. So maybe there was a method to their madness after all.. other than just rebuilding/going with youth. "Apparently" because its being reported that both players- former Saints RB Mark Ingram and Seahawks S Earl Thomas- have agreed to sign contracts.

Give me a 20" bomb and nothing else over this winter. I would gladly take a winter with several small to medium sized events. There were 2 problems with this winter in that regard for my area. It had one medium sized snow event(that under performed) and 2 light ones. everything else was less than an inch front end slop that was gone with the main rain event that followed (and I am still not close to climo). That leads to the other problem- the general character of the winter. Cutter city. Yeah many of our events are flawed, but rarely if ever this winter, in the short range, were we looking at a slam dunk widespread frozen event.
