A+ 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 ?

Congrats, what a snowstorm! Another great winter for you!
On the subject of not grading one’s winter with a high grade if getting a lot of snow in the south: if one were basing the entire grade strictly on snowfall I’d agree 100%. However, some also incorporate temperatures quite heavily, which is what both @RainlessSnowless & Grumpy and @Iceagewhereartthou did in their grading posts. Temperatures in upstate SC averaged 2 AN and they both took off a lot for that. Whereas even I thought iceage’s D was strict (2 AN is not that warm and GSP snow was biggest since 2013-14/several inches above longterm mean), these grades are subjective. For that matter, it looks like @Lickwx actually lowered his grade due to a cold Jan. We don’t all think the same way. In my area, if I were grading strictly based on measurable wintry precip going back to 1996-7, I’d be giving an F to all but 2009-10, 2013-4, and 2017-8.
