Yall can call me w/e idc …. This winter will be a B+ for me if it’s over

SN/IP Total - 16”
ICE - .2”
Days under 10 - 3
Days under 15 - 6
Total times I saw Snow - 7


While yes on paper it was great, Didn’t really see any earth shattering cold nor did I satisfy my Giant Mixed bag event 6+ snow / 1-2” Sleet / 1/4” ICE. Also, after further Review….. the amount of Jan 26’ may be the biggest of my life outside of Feb 2004 / Feb 2014, However Feb 2014 was more fun imo, the build up was better the traditional style system proves it was stronger. I had almost an inch or more QPF in that one. Jan 26’ was cool but it Fluky imo…. Only squeezed like .43” liquid or something out. Very appreciative sure, but in my mind I’ve still yet to find a worthy opponent of Feb 2014, 12.5” Snow/IP mix is better than even 18” all snow …. It has staying power. That snow was vapor by Monday Afternoon last week.

Some of you people will never be happy or satisfied no matter how much Snow or Ice you get.

I would have been more than satisfied if early models verified and Raleigh didn't get dryslotted. But when you haven't had 10" over a full winter in 22 years (when it happened once every few years before that) or even reached your 1991-2020 mean in this entire decade, it's hard not to be a little disappointed when you get dryslotted in a legendary storm for much of the region.

It feels like this winter is going to get an A or B grade from a lot of us in the Carolinas but I’d be lying if I said I’m not a bit disappointed here looking out into the extended. Maybe after years of being punched in the teeth we’re just hard to please

Honestly I have mixed feelings about this winter too... I mean yes I always had a fear about the second year Nina being rough(boy did people nail that one in the plains and Western US!) yes considering we've been near 80 half the winter seemingly I'm amazed we even had a real snowstorm and actually it was probably the biggest storm I've seen here but I guess the thing for me was even the snowstorm kind of fell flat. It really was nothing like what the models said or people were acting like it would be. I probably shouldn't even complain but like it gets tiring here when everyone hypes everything as the worst storm ever

I guess I just assumed there would be something else and now we're back to 80 degrees. I dunno. I mean we're probably gonna have finished this winter with a record number of days above 70 im assuming at this point

On the other hand I havent missed much work this winter at all and it's really not terrible to not be cold all the time with no precip which is a big issue here some years
