You can say it's less than average but 'average' and 'normal' are not the same thing. Normal is typically identified as being within 1 SD. In other words, you are solidly in 'normal' territory for snowfall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWMan Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 With the exception of 12/17, every single event underperformed here. That applied to even the smallest events, when the bar was set very low (eg, forecast 1-2” yielded zilch). We’re right at or slightly below our seasonal snow average, and have gotten there with one big early storm + a few pedestrian events. Temps have been remarkably stable/meh, and we haven’t gotten below zero. Pretty forgettable season overall, with the unfortunate exception of Grinch - which was meteorologically interesting but aesthetically devastating. I give it a C-minus.

78Blizzard Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I give it a solid B, with two storms overproducing in this area for Feb. If it weren't for that, I would have had to give it a C-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 5 hours ago, PhineasC said: This winter gets an A+ from me just because it blew away any other winter in my life. Grinch was horrifying and nearly broke my brain. I was saved by the Jan 17 and Feb 1/2 storms. One of the worst weather events in my life, maybe tops. I never want to see “atmospheric river” and “warm sector” together in a GYX distro ever again. The long boring periods where every storm went south of me (which is ongoing) has been rather annoying. @dendrite tried to warn me Retention after Grinch has been fabulous. I am in a great spot for that. The pack here has been like you’d see at a ski place. Uplsope was also fun. No idea if I received more or less of that than usual. It seems pretty decoupled from the broader pattern so probably average there. It was the synoptic piece that was lacking, based on the historical record. And before the usual suspects rage out at me that it can still snow 2 feet in mid April here... yeah I get that. LOL wake me up when the models show a real, strong low SE of my house with my temp at 28. So far all I still see is weak crap. Thank god for uplsope. Once you get a firm grasp of climo, it will be revised to a C- or so.. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
