Winter 23/24 wrap-up / and review thread. Don't let April Fool ya...It's over.

[Cold Miser]

While some up north have a shot at a decent, final round of snow, for most of the forum winter weather is finished...For me, it was finished in mid-February, as the season went out with a bang, pounding me with an entire 1"...I think from a cold squall line. 

The grades (all items are equally weighted)

Overall Seasonal Snowfall: F 
Picking up where I left off last season, I ended up with another meager, seasonal total...15", which was only 4" more than last winter's disaster.

Snow vs. Rain: F 
Rain was king

Staying power/ (number of days) of pack: D- 
What little "Pack" that I had did manage to hang around a bit.

Local winter enjoyment: F 

Temperature: C
Cold was there, but just not at the right time.

Snowstorms/ events (quality/ quantity): F 
My biggest event was under 6"...Not even nude-worthy. 

Overall Grade: F 

Again, a failure of a season, my second full year at Lava Lake, but I'm sure the "so much potential" crew will chime in.

Well done.

I’ll probably have a similar report except lots of D’s.  I’ll do my grading after this week’s storm which could end up all wet and no white here.

F- grade here in Methuen.

Surprised at the C for temps.  Here it was the mildest DJF and DJFM of 26 cold seasons.  Pack was mediocre but the coming snowstorm will almost certainly push the total into AN territory, possibly well into AN.
