Seeing reports of 20-30" in Pamlico Co down to MHX/Emerald Isle/Swansboro

This winter seems much colder than last, right?

Why the LOL? It its a weather board, they tracked a meteorological bomb for six days or so, even though they knew the odds of it hitting were low for the last 4 days. They enjoyed it, it is the purpose of the board. You don't like tracking for that long, so you didn't. You each put in what you wanted to. There is no LOL for tracking a storm on a weather board...what is the purpose of the board, if not that?

Month dep EWR: -2.8 (30.1) / 2.28 LE / 16.1 snow

Bumping this thread to keep the weather side clean, but how do I keep my sanity without just leaving my wife, quitting my job, getting a divorce, and moving to a warm climate? Moving is what I need, because I'm very close to just flat out losing it. I simply cannot tolerate this level of cold for this long of a duration. And each winter my tolerance becomes less and less. I am also growing increasingly bitter, and resentment is growing at her flat out refusal to even consider moving and giving me the one thing that would help save my sanity.

I thought a lot of the whole freezing rain vs. sleet issue was more how various vendors (TT, Pivotal, etc.) displayed that, or whatever algorithm they used to differentiate the two. For instance, I know on TT for whatever reason, it just displays the ICON as "rain" even when it's clearly some other non-snow frozen/freezing precipl But maybe the actual Euro soundings indicated freezing rain as opposed to sleet, which would be a totally different thing of course.

It sucks but at least it’s deep winter .. If we can get a few more snowfalls before the pattern flips to mild you mentioned , most of us can be normal snow YTD

Day light: 10H07M gained about 52 minutes since the winter solstice and gaining more then 2minutes a day Rise: 7:06 Set: 5:14 I see the DST debate again increasing but as has been the case, it'll likely remain unchanged and DST will commence in 35 days.

Yeah that busted. Models did well. Looks like just OE now on south shore.

What’s worked is Southwest flow/over running type situations in the occasional clipper. They are more predictable and dependable. A great coastal can be awesome every once in a while, but they are a few and far between and very fickle. I think towards mid month we get into a much better pattern for snow specially with all the cold air around. I think we’re gonna have a good run.

Storms over. Suns out.

I put up a thread specifically for this, but it would help if it was pinned- sure everyone has some great pics

This little stretch of three weeks has been the most fun in quite a while here. Three weekends, three storms, with yesterday's being the exclamation point. Ya'll remember how warm it was on Christmas ? (81deg here in Macon) Little did we know.....

IMBY here in Jacksonville, I ended up with 14" with drifts in some spots 5' deep. Yesterday and today I sure did miss Skip. We would be emailing back and forth about this storm and he would be over the moon excited for everyone with all this snow.

Have to wait until the snow melts to get out of your house. https://www.emeraldisle-nc.org/AlertCenter.aspx?AID=Winter-Storm-Alert-3-Snowfall-Ending-But-17

Yea I think you got shafted quite a bit with the downsloping yesterday but at least it still netted you over 5. Probably a ton of recency bias but at least for mby, this tops 2022. Almost 7”, champagne powder, historic storm in the grand scheme of our forum and board. Probably the most fun I’ve had tracking since 2018.

They were reporting flurries there this morning. My friend in Clearwater said the water temperature in the golf is below 60° now. I’ll have to check because that seems low, but definitely cold down there.

We’ll see. Just annoyed we missed some chances between this current storm and next weekend.

Meanwhile most of the Arctic, Greenland and Western half of the US is on fire temp wise

Morehead city got 2 feet of snow at least. Friend says there are 4-5 foot drifts. Insane!!!

I agree that each model has strengths and weaknesses, which is why I think the GFS still has a role to play. I never bought the Euro’s freezing rain depiction, so I leaned on its track and precip amounts but leaned on the GFS for precip type before the mesos came into range.

Don’t really have anything. It’s to my southeast.

Here just west of Jacksonville Nc not sure of my storm totals. The wind here was very strong blowing it around. I can say this in my time in North Carolina dating back to the 2000's. This is the first time where the ditches around here are full of snow. There are easy 2' snow drift if not even deeper. I am not sure of a correct way to measure because the amount of snow the wind was moving last night. There were spots in the 1' to 2' drifts that were walked in that were filled up within 10 to 30 minutes. Also it was a dense wet snow here not the dry powder type i was expecting. What an incredible storm this was.

So the euro performed the worse out of all models. Showed 3-5 inches here ended up with 14.75. The NAM found the band first here so its the winner
