I'll say this...the end-of-season map is going to lay bare how utterly frustrating this season has been for those within 10 miles NW of 95 - at least those of us in VA.

I don't think the grass on my front lawn has been fully covered once, and I actually cut it down pretty low for the last cut of the season.

I want @mappy to contour every 1".

I say contour it in micrometers around I-95 and southeast, gradually transitioning that to meters as you get far enough north and west of there.  But don't put a scale on it.  That way, it will give the illusion that I-95 was in the jackpot zone this year! :lol:

I feel like I have missed some shit today. 

Just got home and given all the rain, I am surprised how much glacier cover I still have here. My yard is the local flatland equivalent to Mount PSU.

Anyway it rained it ass off today, but I never bothered to clean the glacier out of my rain gauge so it reads 0.00. I will have to check some local reports.

lol shouldn’t be too hard, gradient would get fairly tight west of the fall line

You know it!

Super light, long blades, and rotate them VERY fast.  

I figured you did :D

The jackpot of this winter has been the Catoctin Mountains.  Specifically, northwest Frederick County and eastern Washington County.  Those areas have about 55" for the season.

About 60 miles due south of there, as the crow flies, there  was only about 10".  Crazy N-S gradient right at that longitude.

Mt PSU will look like a zit

This was from a project they did years ago that used both snowfall reports and estimates using a model that factored in geography to come up with an accurate snowfall map.  I lost the key years ago but you can figure it out from what known locations get in each color code.  Love how my ridge shows up on the map.  Shame I can't find the whole project online anymore, it had really cool maps like average first and last day of snow, average days of snowcover, and average largest storm.

Did some after-dark hiking on nearby trails through the woods.  I was only sinking into the snow a couple of inches with each step.  Been a long time since I could walk "on top" of a snow pack like that.  It's composed of five snowfalls and some glazes along with numerous freezes.  Really cool conditions.  Sad to see it melt.

Yeah, I feel your pain. Everyone far outside the beltway (to the north and west) has had snow cover for almost the whole month meanwhile here near the snow hole known as DC there were 1-3 days when the grass was covered. We still got March and then we have next year(s).
