Dude, don't.  I moved here from Charleston thinking I would be in heaven and all I got this year was a crap sleet storm.  You won't be able to handle the winter model watching despair.

 

Somebody must have really misinformed you about the amount of snow the Eastern Piedmont receives on average every winter.

Problem with our area is we always seem to be in the game to get good winter storms; but we end up losing a lot of those games. How many times have we been in the crosshairs of a storm at days 7 to 9 (or less) to then have it shift in one direction or the other. One things for sure, we always seem to have a lot of tracking opportunities.

This seems to be true.  We have almost as many tracking opportunities as our friends in the Mid-Atlantic, but we just tend to do worse with them than those further north.  Of course, a lot of that is seeing models slam the Mid-Atlantic and then us being on the southern end of the envelope where a south trend would put us in the game, which usually doesn't happen, but is possible enough to give many of us hope (and, to be fair, sometimes it does trend south).

 

Well, that was when I lived in NC.  Now that I am in FL, I should have roughly 0 tracking opportunities per winter.  Maybe 1 in a good winter, which will almost never pan out.  :)

 

I wish I had the flexibility to make big life decisions based on watching snow.

 

I know, right? :D

We inspired the whole "Charlie Brown, Lucy and the football" thing.
