That’s a dang good idea
 
I got this last year. I also got .2 inches on 12/27/2022. So apparently I’m doing better than most around here.

I am 32 years old. If I live to be let’s say 80, does anyone here think I’ll see another storm like the blizzard of 93? Better yet does anyone think I’ll ever see more than 5 inches of snow from a storm again.

This will be the first winter I've blanked on accumulations since 2012/2013 if it comes to fruition. Really paid for the epic 2010/2011 winter with back to back horrible winters. Last winter was the best since 2010/2011 so maybe this and next year are screwed.

So you blanked 11-12 and 12-13 back to back?

it's possible there was a storm 12-13 and I failed to record it. But i'm pretty sure I blanked both of those seasons. If not, it was a minor event.

I know some where around that timeframe there was a storm where we had a winter storm warning and I wound up with maybe 1/4 inch of sleet accumulation and that was it... that one isn't recorded on my sheet b/c i'm not sure when it happened and can't find it in any photos. I didn't start keeping up with the sheet until 5-6 years ago so the entries before that were from memory or photos/facebook posts.
