Heck, as you mention we will be starting second winter soon, tis the season. We will see if Buckethead can lose his keys in the snow the first week of May this year. -

I understand you keeping it real, which can be depressing considering real snow probability these days. I was thinking about Jason Boyer forecasting a couple of snow chances to be duds that turned out otherwise some years ago. However, he would be right 90 plus percent of the time just going with that, lol. -

Blocking beginning in March is about as sure as the Spring solstice. -

LOL, yes, enough of a dusting this morning to get the ground slightly white, and I am thinking we really scored with this event. -

A cold January produced nothing but a high heating bill, I didn't like them apples. -

That is the year folks got stuck at Pisgah Inn but it was early May; they had cleared the road to Pisgah Inn by the time we went up there to ski. Below are a couple links to articles on the storm: https://climate.ncsu.edu/blog/2017/05/remembering-the-surprise-spring-snow-in-may-1992/ https://www.wsoctv.com/weather/historic-may-snowfall-looking-back-at-may-1992-snowstorm-in-nc-mountains/520582886/ -

Yea, first time I ever went cross country skiing was on the Parkway starting at the Hwy 276 intersection in May 1992. Winter is far from over. -

Seems over the past decade or more, this neck of the woods has three seasons: fall, winter, late winter followed by summer. There will be a spring fever week in February then the teleconnections setup for a western ridge and east coast trough; cold winds start blowing in March and persist into the first week in May with a smattering of brief warmups. Mountain valleys will continue to see snow flurries in April and into May for the higher elevations. It will be interesting to see if El Nino disrupts what has become a typical "Spring" pattern. -
What we can count on every year, the teleconnections will get right for snow except it will be the beginning of Spring.
