May lend to the Earth standing still. Hmm.. The day the Earth stood still. Never watched that Movie. Just carrying on with you man

Good analysis man !

Wound up with Snow Shower's here. Couple quick heavy ones that created a lt dusting that melted fast.

Yeah, I've been thinking along those lines as a possibility.

Yeah, hopefully that'll be the case.

Yeah, shifted a bit North with main area.

Bucowx posted those videos of April 1987 Snow Storm over in the Banter thread in case noone knows.

Appreciate it man ! Really great to see these from then!!!

What is your YouTube channel ?

Yeah, the morning of the day it started it was in the lower 50's here around 10 a.m.. The Front came through with just sprinkles. A rain snow mix began at 1:15 and fairly quickly turned to all Snow. It was all snow at start above 1500 Feet. It ended around the same time, oddly 3 days later. The Temp hung around 28-30 day and night during the period after it initially fell to that. Really unusual in so many ways. The Pisgah Storm was late May of 91 or 92. I'm thinking nearly 5 feer piled up at the Summit .

Yep. Remember it well. Did have Pics of it. It started on Thursday the 2nd and ended Sunday the 5th. I took Pics each Morning of it. It was constant steady Snow the whole period. It was simply amazing. The LP did as you said and then got cut off from the flow and became a cutoff Low over the Southern Apps. It was raining in Detroit and Buffalo while snowing here. There was no drifting in the Valleys, just straight down Snowfall. I remember it being in the 70's for a couple weeks before that. So ground was warm. I remember sticking my hand through to the ground and it would be wet underneath. I had about 2 feet on ground at deepest near Pennington gap. A Neighbor had a junk car parked on North side of his home and there was 30" on it. WCYB reported a report from High knob near Norton of 54".

In regards to this area; while January turned out good overall, December and February have not. The Winter was much better than last for obvious reasons. However, looking back at past long term(30 Years) Averages, if we receive no more measurable snow the winter will be another well below Average Winter in the Snowfall Dept.. The Average for the 1950-1980 era for my location was 2 feet( If measurements were taken as are nowadays, would be even more). The next 30 was 20. Now, 18". As of now my Total is 11.2". It'll take 7 " to hit Today's Normal. They used to change the "Normals" every 30 Years. Now, every Year basically. This actually masks the scope of how things have changed over the Year's for many as they don't either remember or look back at past Climate Data. Some Data is now missing of which used to be there. That begs the question where it got to and even why. Alot of Data that is still there is flawed or have missing data within the Set's. I am a retired Antique now, but, have alot of memory and experience under my belt having lived through these Climate Periods. I had my own Records for many Year's, hard copy and then Computer in these latter Year's. Unfortunately some were destroyed in a moving process and some a PC crash. I am thankful my Memory still serves me well. I don't intend on being a Debbie downer or refuting anyone else's thought's/ feeling's irt this Winter but simply presenting facts mainly pertaining to my Area. The Reason Snowfall Averages have steadily declined is debatable. Some say solely AGW. Other's cyclical. I lean mainly SST location Anomalies. Sure, there has been a Global increase in Temps in our Lifetime but, not nearly to the degree some think or are saying. Anyway, would like other's opinions/ thoughts. John, you have some data from your Local that goes a good ways back. Chime in.

In Norton this morning.

Yeah, next Winter is a bit murky as like you said, if the Nina is weak it can be a whole different ballgame.

Light Dusting here this Morning.

Light patchy Dusting here as well.

I'm with Carvers. Everything I see is pointing toward a hot, dry Summer. Imo, the only caveat may be if we're fortunate enough for TC activity to bring us beneficial Rains. TC development will probably begin early as Holston pointed out Factors arguing for a very active Season and the already very warm SST'S of which would favor that early start.

Yeah, looking like we need a 50-100 mile further South Track according to most SRM's.

Yep.

It'll then move on into Texas, lol

18z followed South trend.

Yeah, usually. Downstream affect.

Short pump scores !!!

Alien Spacecraft causing them.

Yep. West PAC and IO SST'S.
