Another thing to note about '95-96 is there was a warmup after the aforementioned Snowstorm in December. It ended right before Christmas and Rain changed to Snow here in the early morning hours of Christmas and we had an inch of Snow at 7 A.M.

Well let’s take a step back . You’re buried under 8” of snow with more coming this week . I haven’t been whining at all , but absolutely frustrated and close to losing my shit , and I think I speak for Will and the rest of those who have gone snowless in the promised great pattern . It’s easy to say this when you’re in deep winter .

@olafminesaw thank you! @wncsnow I had seen another map of the Euro had painted 6.4” up this way which I thought was pretty impressive but I’m on my mobile so I can’t post

That One was a SE traveling System that bottomed in the mid South and intensified and moved ENE South of us . I measured 7 inches in Pennington gap. Roanoke got 10". It was evening of the 9th and morning of 10th.

I know people want snow for the holidays, but jfc…it’s 12/7.

They need their own sub forum. Different world Manchester north.

It was the Ravens shitting all over themselves yet again.

One thing that is different from Friday’s system is it’s significantly colder tonight in the Triad than it was this time Thursday night. PTI is already just above freezing, at 35.

hype is the absolute worst, tbh. silly but funny

Don’t think El Niño or La Niña matters really, hey we got the elusive SSWE and MJO phase 8 and we have zero threats on the horizon

I remember it having systems travel from the Pac NW down through the Plains into the Tn Valley along the Jet. Some would drop to the mid South and form a Miller A from a Miller B( transfer). Those were the Ones that would cut up the Coast from NC on up(Noreaster). Several low riding B and Clipper Systems as well. I was thinking awhile ago after reading Johns post and pondered that really all we need is this Pattern with the Trough dipped further South a 25-100 Miles. Then we'd be in the area getting the Snow that Area's that distance up are getting. So close. A stronger block would do it. Taller western Ridge would.

Can’t even gin up an A1 Grok animation after today’s runs can you ?

I don’t know if the super El Niño of 2015-16 had some sort of long-term effect on global circulation patterns or it’s a coincidence or it’s a combination of factors. But since then, if our winters haven’t been outright ratters, they certainly have been unremarkable. I’ll be 60 next year. I’ve seen some bad stretches of winter weather (late 80’s into the early 90’s comes to mind). But this past decade is setting a new bar for craptacular.

Currently down to 31.8. At least we won't be wasting as much moisture saturating this time, surface humidity already at 98%. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

not much in the way of OP run cinema

Got the notice that the schools were opening two hours late in C'ville and said, "What fresh hell is this?!?!" We've had storms sneak out of the south and overperform in the past...

didn't see this post before I posted but snowing here

wow that 18z gfs found every way to f nearly everyone out of any snow (very sigificant/impressive totals) for two weeks. I doubt it's real, but funny

I know, I’m just messing with you.

The talk about the trough being flat and displaced eastward got me to thinking - I know, dangerous! But that displaces western ridge(which leads to a very cold NE) will sometimes retrograde. If it does so slowly enough, we can hit the sweet spot at 500 OR if a system will cut one time. Any type of cutter right now is going to send very cold air south.

lfg!

Hey last thread I made turned out pretty well!

34 here. .

just looked out and lightly snowing.. fresh dusting
