I know this isnt covering the Triad, but dang it sure feels like a thunderstorm kinda day. I just need some rain.....cant believe I just said that.

Dang Jeremy, you're famous!!! You made national news and the DrudgeReport front page with these pics! Hope there are some royalties with that. You just received hundreds of millions of impressions!

So you're saying there isn't going to be a mid to long term in 2019???!! Man I hope you are wrong. Or else all this hard work I am doing right now is for naught. Please let me know if you think we only have a few days, or maybe weeks left. So much to do, so little time!! If you want to go kill the winter thread, that's ok.

Storm watches have been posted by RAH and Blacksburg. Now up to almost 80 here in the triad.

It stayed cloud covered so long this morning in the Triad that I thought for sure we were in the clear. Now sitting in a hot sun, 76° and watching some towers starting to rise back towards winston. Could get interesting!

There's an obvious reason. This thing panning out to anything more than a minor ooh and ahh type event is one step short of powerball odds. (Ok,ok, maybe getting struck by lightning) I mean really, we're talking about Mack and Shetley getting snow, together, on the same day, in April.

Just remember, whoever starts a storm thread for this has to deal with the humiliation until December.

Please dont do this to yourselves. Have some dignity. Cold rain is what we shall have, and nothing more. Our December snow broke the models. The FV3 hasnt been right since.

Are you guys seriously playing Charlie Brown football again??? I come back expecting to find some discussion around Apr-June rainfall expectations and found this nonsense. April snow? Sure! Happens all the time.....in the mountains. Otherwise, dont torture yourselves. The grass is green, the sun is warm and the skies are blue.

I'll see your superstition and raise you, it thundered yesterday here in the triad.

Dont get suckered in man. Just plant those flowers and move on with spring.

Like all of us, Wow knew it was over when we 1) had a record smashing event in early december, and 2) never got a single event inside of 72 hours on a forecast after that december event. Fantasy models delivered a perfect score on fantasy snow.

Saw Matthew East on FB mentioning a nationwide cold spell for 2nd half of March, including a lock in the southeast. Dont want it, dont need it. I'm done with it. Bring me 50s and DRY!!

Moving on......pre-emergent goes down after work tonight. Spraying winter weeds tomorrow morning. Trailer load of mulch this weekend. This winter is DONE! How can the ski resorts in NC even manage to stay in business??

Technically our Dec snow was in the fall, so we never really had a winter to begin with. So I think WINTER FAIL might be more appropriate.

This rain is really doing a number on all of us. Now a major landslide is reported across I40 at the TN state line closing ALL lanes. Detours are 200 MILES around. Hope they get that cleared soon but the weather wont help. Probably some very unstable ground out there. Edit - they wont be doing an assessment until sunrise. They tried to clear some of the slide and had rocks falling down on them. So at least a day or two at minimum. Good luck mountain peeps.

Winter over on March 21st. So it has exactly 1 day to accurately forecast winter this year. It's either gonna be all right or all wrong for 2019. Such suspense!

Hey guys, got a new phone so I am searching for any new recommendations on weather apps. Who likes what and is it free or paid? TIA.

This thread should be closed, locked and burned. Start another one for the second half of Feb. Otherwise it should be renamed the "mid to long term between posts" thread. This is so pathetic for winter. I bet we are easily on pace to set records for the fewest number of events tracked, fewest posts for winter and fewest cliff jumpers....we never even climbed high enough to jump! I'll come back in 24 hours to see the next post. Maybe by then the models will show something better than an icy mix at 300 hours.

Ok, I'm just going to put one more hundy in the machine and then I'll quit. Those wheels are bound to line up on jackpot soon baby! I've been playing for 3 hours and lost my ass so I'm way overdue! House odds, we lose.

Just go with a warm bias, for any model, cuz we all know that verifies more often than not. You need consensus across at least 3 models just to hitch the horse to the wagon. That still doesnt mean we mount up. So was the GFS model extended? I thought it was slated to end in late Jan / early Feb?

Well it would be Valentines Day. Mother Nature and Old Man Winter may be getting together for a quick fling. And I do mean quick cuz there isnt any sustained cold on the horizon. Sun angle coming into play and after this warm week ground temps will suck. So its going to have to be the real deal as far as cold and I'm not seeing it here. Temps around freezing wont get it done.

If I get 8 weeks of sunny and 50s/60s here in the Triad on top of my 14" of snow in Dec, I would give this winter and A++! I was so incredibly annoyed that we lost our fall weather. So to have a shot at redemption here is A OK with me!

Its over now despite what the models say. Our groundhog friend said so. I'm going with Phil. #teamphil #groundhogwx #g-hogsloveridges

Is 6" of snow every third Thursday too much to ask for in a winter? But this is a bit ridiculous. I'm not a fan of endless nuisance events or multiple big dogs because it just gets old. If I wanted that much snow I would move north. So yes, I love my 50's and 60's this next week and I'll get a ton done in the yard this weekend. But the fact that we are going 10 hours at a time between posts in here is just nuts. I honestly can't remember a winter this empty on the models, and certainly such a contrast to the wet year we just had. That rubber band that JB always talks about is getting really wound up.........
