Deep winter in Colt State Park in Bristol.

2.5” Gloucester. 2-3” at my parents already. So close.

His quoting my post wasn't about you unless you're running two different accounts...

You guys deserved a better storm. Even in my downslope area I'm surrounded by 6-10" plus in all directions and I got a little over 5. Grateful but not a memorable nor historic storm here. The wind last night was more memorable than the snow honestly. It was gusting over 50.

yeah, that's the only point I was trying to make... I think it's useful because there seems to be some debate about the cold aspect this year? heh, I don't ultimately care that much just sayn'

It's not set in stone... And it's NOT going to get Mild and Warm.just look what happened the last time the models showed this ( twice I think ) it went back to the cold pattern. Of course this won't last forever as spring has to come, but we still have plenty of time.. maybe a brief milder period.

The 4 p.m. RAP run from Friday did pretty well with totals back in the central and western parts of the state. Nailed the heavier area from CLT towards Greensboro.

I’ve been a regular reader of this blog and its predecessors for about 20 years. I seldom post because, in general, I don’t think I have the expertise to meaningfully contribute. I’ve started occasionally posting recently because I think it is important to note the truly exceptional warmth and lack of snow in significant parts of the West this season, where longstanding records are absolutely being smashed. It is a big deal and should be part of the dialogue alongside the discussion about a kind of chilly and snowy season in parts of the East (only) that’s not historically noteworthy. Just my opinion though.

Anyone else kinda shocked by the torching? I may hit 40 at the pace I’m moving

No I wasn’t and I posted multiple times in the other thread how happy I was for everyone else. I tore the cliff diving thread up, that’s what it’s for

2022 was 11 inches here even with sleet tainted in. Moisture still remains a problem here and I wonder if we are heading towards a dry spring. The wind last night was insane here. I'm truly grateful we didn't lose power.

A friend of mine in Peletier, NC measured 20 inches.

It’s melting.

Here's the 1980-2010 for shits n gigs

Historic storm for them especially coastal Carolinas. This could’ve been a top 5 storm possibly if it consolidated and turned the corner. I’d just love it if we stopped flipping between suppressed crap to SWFE/cutter. We’ve been lucky this winter with storm types that don’t usually favor heavy snow here.

I agree with you…just was pointing out that those maps (esp near us due to regional climate variability) will make it look a lot warmer than our more conventional departures would suggest given the ‘51-80 base period….january was def more -AO so prob larger mid-latitude bands of colder airmass.

Lol... I did actually fit under it when I was driving the buses.

Congrats everyone. This sure was a fun storm. Bottomed out at -1.2 this morning and just a hair below 7” of snow.

In reality, I don't want to divorce my wife. If I did, I would have stayed in AZ after my mom passed away. The only reason it comes up is because it's the only way to move from PA. I mentioned the other day how if the place I was working at when I was caring for my mom wouldn't have closed, I'd have had a hard time leaving it as it was one of the best I'd ever had. Her response? Well then, we'd be divorced right now. So you see, it's actually her refusal to move that brings it into the discussion.

Okay... well, relative to that product scope, then. I still suggest the mid latitude are colder in January than December.

NW flow setups like that only work in areas from ATL on south if the upper level feature organizes much earlier across the TN Valley. This one developed too late and was too far north. The March 1980 storm was similar but the upper level low and trof developed much earlier and tracked more south.

I did that the first week of January on the Tug. 100" in 4 days thank you lol. I'm hunting wintery conditions to last as long as possible. We do warm a safe roads 99.9% of the year.

Kansas City received just under 9 inches of snow. The high temp was 17 degrees.

yeah, I could see that too - kind of like a 'glorified' arctic front.
