Let's hope for a warm winter; the last two were awful
-2F to +2F overall temp anomaly is all I ask for this winter. I don't need mild, and don't want way below average either. Funny how in this area when we get an "average" winter, the media calls it mild. News media here makes a mint off of hyping up winter with every little tiny snowfall. FYI, not every winter is going to be way below average or snowy. Just doesn't work that way lol.

The media tries to paint the NE Corridor as some cold, gloomy, snowy place for some reason. I can almost hear the glee in their voice when NYC gets a cold snap or gets snow.

Our winters are pretty snowy from the standpoint of someone who lives in the Sunbelt. We average between one and two feet of snow per winter--closer to two, I believe--and get larger snowstorms fairly often, all things considered.

Yeah, but overall it's not that snowy. I think the only city in the NE Corridor that's somewhat close to "snowy" is Boston. DC in particular is a joke to be called "snowy".

Like I said, it depends from whose perspective.
Even D.C. is prone to getting larger snowstorms than other cities that are, on paper, more wintry. So it depends also on your idea of "snowy."

My idea of snowy is consistency rather than the "potential" for big storms. DC might have snowy winters compared to Miami (which even Atlanta does, lol) but in an overall sense of things, when you average it out against other US cities, I would bet it's in the bottom half for average annual snowfall. I don't think the potential for big snowstorms makes a city snowy.
I feel like we're always in a "wintry battle zone" lol. But I'll take it over any extreme/long duration cold.
