B-, could have been better but had March come back.

D+. Final kick in the nuts was the near miss on March 25th storm. Heavier snow totals seem to slip by just to the NW back half of winter

D+ White Christmas and 6.7" in late January saved it from being a total failure.

Not sure how to rate this winter.  I am thinking B-/C+.  GRR had the 3rd snowiest winter ever, but snow cover was pathetic.  There were 54 days with 1" or more on the ground.  A normal year over the POR comes out around 67 days with 1" on the ground.  The closest years to this year snowfall wise had 92 and 109 days so even though we were significantly above normal for snowfall the number of days with 1" of snow on the ground was significantly below normal.  The Christmas storm was amazing and the lake effect was the best in my 13 years here but the lack of retention really dings my grade.  A little better snow retention and this would have easily been an A.

B, the storms were few and far between but the couple we got were memorable, especially the damn overperforming ice storm

I’m definitely glad that the temps stayed more moderate during that and it was mostly in day time
