Where does this winter rank?

The National Weather Service office out of Jackson, MS offered up some temperature and snowfall tables that represent how this winter ranks up when compared to other winters. Unfortunately for the Pine Belt the data just focuses on Jackson and Meridian.... Hattiesburg and Laurel did not have reliable weather stations until about a decade ago. Nevertheless, the Jackson and Meridian data gives us a good measuring stick. Tables below....
