Since 2010, my house and DCA: 2011 (0.3", 0.5") 2012 (0.3", 0.3") 2013 (0.6", 0.4") 2014 (17.9", 11.2") 2015 (10.3", 9.8") 2016 (4.4", 3.1") 2017 (T, T) 2018 (1.2", 0.2") 2019 (5.1", 3.7") 2020 (T, T) 2021 (4.4", 2.8") 2022 (0.5", T) Climo is 5" at DCA, meaning that we have exceeded climo fewer times than recording a T over these dozen years. The median is about a half inch! This January was a B in my opinion, but February has been an F. Absent a March miracle we’re looking at a C- winter.

87storms Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I’m putting this winter as a B-, saved in Frederick by two decent storms. This is a relative grade compared to the last 2 winters. It’s my first time living up here and I’m just glad it actually snowed. Realistically, it’s probably a C+. One more warning level snowfall and it’s a solid B.

Yeah I would go with an A here for Jan, I can't recall a better one in many years. December was awful as usual, and February has sucked other than still having snow otg for the first few days.

December was awful as usual, and February has sucked other than still having snow otg for the first few days. Of course Jan was an A for some and a C for others...lol So averaging it out for the whole subforum I'd give it a B-. For my yard a definite C...because getting skunked that Monday sucked! That and the poor ROI tracking the rest of the month was also annoying. You'd think it could've gone better...but looking at the lack of Atlantic help, you can see why it wasn't. I had predicted 13-15" for this winter...BWI is at 14 and my yard around 11, so that's turning out to be true (unfortunately). I'm sure if we can't get March to produce for the n/nw crew they'd rate this winter lower, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSG Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Is this what we're doing now? Winter is over? Fine with me, I'm ready to get some sun. A+ January in Charlottesville, we averaged 3.0F below average from Jan 3rd-31st and depending on what measurements you look at it was somewhere in the top 5-10 range for Jan snowfall since 1920. I measured ~18.5" at my place. Hadn't seen an epic pattern like that since living in DC in 2015. We also got REALLY lucky with the mid-month storm. Never got above freezing here during that event so we maintained the snowpack for about 4 weeks straight. Would've been nice to have another 1-2 storms to track, but I broke my thumb skiing late Jan so the season ended for me then and there... bring on severe season! Overall winter rating: B, short but sweet for western-central VA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more warning level snowfall and it’s a solid B. I've been here all my life of 42 years. There's a great deal of variation across the county due to the terrain, but I can't go above a C unless downtown sees a 6 inch storm. Hasn't happened yet this year though.

Chris78 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Definitely a D for my Yard. I'm in Washington County about 3 miles from the M/D line. 12" on the season. Average is about 28" The only reason I dont give an F is because I did have a 6" storm back in the middle of January. Was totally whiffed on the Jan. 3rd. Nickled and Dimmed my way to 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
