All of the grass is green here. But I think that's pretty typical (with a nearly constant state of snowpack, it does provide constant moisture), just about every year in the beginning of March my yard looks very Spring like. Though, as far as actual flowers/blooming/etc that doesn't kick in until early April. So technically nothing is either behind or ahead of schedule down here yet.

I see today was a bit diverse for some. Here I had a wonderful outdoorsy kind of day, high of 56, occasional sprinkles and overcast skies the whole day. Felt like 60, and felt like Spring was knocking on the door. Honestly wanted there to be legitimate showers to complete my experience. I don't mind being done with winter but I know a couple/few inches are probably around the corner sometime before March ends. I know this area almost too well. Let that happen, but let the majority of March be like today!

Couple detailed things I neglected to mention. While it was snowing Jan 3rd/4th, it started in the single digits in temps and continued in the teens. Altogether was a completely different snow than I ever remember here. The par for the course would be 28-32 degree snow, and almost no wind. I did legitimately also get a couple real blizzards here. (one of them surprisingly occurred in this month so far in March!!). I may not be a big fan of winter but there were definitely things that I consider memorable this season. Now, may there be pineapples before the warm season kicks in. Winter did more than it's part this time around. If March goes and pulls off a 2012.. I'll add another "+" to my A+ rank.

This would easily be an A+ for Klamath Falls. This winter has surprised locals who have been here for decades. We saw our most 1 day snow since Jan 1993, and one of the 5 coldest temperatures ever at KLMT all within the first week of January 2017. Another strong point was diversity. This season kicked off right after an incredibly warm November. After my huge January storm and arctic temps, the depth of 21.00" I had built up quickly went down to a mere handful of inches after a few rainy days. February then goes to be another warmer than normal month while still providing lots of snow. Another thing too I noticed is that I am 4 consecutive months over average snowfall in a row. It has been more than a decade since that last happened. Lastly... WIND! It was extremely windy, not just this winter alone but even since October, Klamath Basin has been battered by numerous wind events. For now lately it has sort of quieted down but it seemed like for a while, there was never going to be an end to it.
