A solid C here.
Rating a winter with a 6-7” snow a D sounds MAish weenie esque, that’s a B at the very leastHad potential but a D. It was a good snow event but only saw frozen one time; no sustained cold at all, nothing below 20, December and Feb both torches, Jan only "coolish," and even March to be a torch. The one snow saved it from being a 2011-2012 and total F-.

Correct. I average about 5 inches and got 7.5. So if total snow were my only criteria it would indeed be a B, since I would reserve an A for finally getting a double digit season. However, I also average seeing frozen at least 2-3 times, even if it doesn't stick; I mean, I saw it 5 times last year. So only seeing frozen once is a big deduction in my book. Then, temps were indeed very disapponting this year; very warm overall. So my grade for WINTER (not just one snowfall; which doesn't make a whole season, IMO) is a D.I’d agree 1,000,000 % IF he were solely basing his grade on snow since 6-7” is way above normal. But snow is not everything to everyone. He clearly is putting a lot of weight on temperatures, which overall were AN.

10.5 inches??A.... 10.5inches of snow from one storm plus getting to see snow fall a few other times was great. Had several mornings with lows in the 20's was nice also but that warm December was the only reason i did not give it an A plus !!!!
yes it was all snow here during that storm except for about 20 minutes of a sleet mix. A few miles north of me near Cleveland was reports of 11.5 inches10.5 inches??
Yep, exactlyA+ and that was from one 8 inch snow in January that I base that grade off of. Im not sure how anyone that gets 6 or more inches of snow in the south is grading the winter less then A+. Season total is at 12.9 inches with a total of 9 different days that snow fell from the sky. Temps overall in January and February were actually right around normal. The lows were very cold while the highs were slightly above which is what put me closer to an average mean.
Here are the receipts ?
