Same here. Barely had my ground whitened. January felt winterish but no impressive cold snaps. Haven’t had a decent snow if 4 years.

D+ where I’m at in North Mississippi, now you go 40 miles north or northwest it’s a totally different story.
A, I got to see a couple feet fall in the Cascades, a foot plus in central VA and a seasonal average type of event here. I saw probably close to 40” of snow fall this winter.

F+ I mean I had snow for about an hour and it was gone. The temps weren't nearly cold enough for me. I expected this considering it is my "last" southern winter! Congrats to those who got snow and enjoyed winter!

B- For me seeing the powder snow in low/mid 20s saved this winter from being a complete disaster.
B+. I gave some extra credit for snow 3 weeks in a row which has never happened in my life as far as I know.

1. In January I had the coldest rain seen here in 4 years at 32.7! Rains that cold here are not common and thus are exciting.
2. January walking wx was absolutely awesome! Dewpoints were low almost all month after the first few days.
3. February had a good amount of fine walking wx with the best part near midmonth. I also laid out once IMBY late one afternoon and it felt so good!
4. December walking wx could have been better but I still got in some pretty good walking.
Aside: November walking wx was fantastic but I can’t count it for winter.

F-, to the 10th power! Total suckfest
The only reason I didn’t go with an A was not getting a 6”+ storm. If we could have just had a earlier phase on the last 2 January events, this winter could have been amazing

D…. Some cold days… but a huge letdown on the MLK weekend storm.. for once I was in s prime location!!! NE GA mountains… temps busted 10 degrees too warm!! My 3-5 turned into a trace… biggest letdown ever!!! Depressed me the rest of the winter.. and I can’t stand severe spring and this pollen is killing me!!!! Rant over?
Solid B here.
I'd say a B or a C+. Warm to begin, then a nice long cold, wintry period then a cold/warm pattern to end. Ended up with avg to slightly above avg amount of snow/sleet/freezing rain. I guess we could still see something very light before April, but I highly doubt it.
In many schools anything below C is failing now. No grade inflation here ... solid D. Did see a few flakes, and one small dusting is the only thing keeping it from complete F. But still failing with a D!
Overall a C. Snowfall was an A, even though it was only 1 event here instead of the 3 or 4 small ones most got. Temps were a D, and that's being generous! CLT still had its 9th warmest winter ever. And the 2nd most 70 degree days in winter.
It was a weird winter. At GSP 23 out of 31 days in January were below average, but only finished -2 for the month. 16 out of 28 days in Feb were below average and still finished +1.1 for the month. This winter shows why it's so hard for the SE to average colder than average anymore. It's hard to overcome the blast furnace the SER brings anymore. It could be only one week of warmth followed by 3 weeks of cold and when it comes to averages that one week wipes out the negative departures. Thats why if you go above average here you're right 95% of the time. The good news is it can still snow, even down to CAE!

Well, I felt like we actually had a winter this year thanks to January, so I'm going to give some extra credit here. Really should give it a C for average, but I was in the mountains for the first event in early January for a few cold non-melty inches, then I got a few inches of a really cold sleet fest in mid January; solid storm. That's a pretty good winter, I'll take that every year. Especially since the last several years have had diddly squat.
But December was the absolute worst (Seattle
), the other minor threats in January did not work out IMBY so that was just a frustration. February was a whole lot of progressive crud over and over (year of the SE trend).
Considering we went most of the winter with a +AO and +NAO, only a pretty mild +PNA and we still got a decent winter month, I'll take it. Kinda like getting an 80 on an exam. it's not great, didn't do really good, but you can say "hey, gotta B!"
