  1. People don’t realize how good Wilson-Rocky Mount-Roanoke Rapids is for snow (relatively speaking). Sure, you may miss some events to the west, but every 4-5-6 years, you back door your way into a foot+ deal.
  2. Love it. So great when the coastal folks cash in. Growing up, ‘72, ‘80, ‘89 come to mind when the coastal counties got more snow than the Piedmont got for 30 years. There’s an argument to be made that coastal regions, just inland have a higher single-storm ceiling than almost any other sub-region in the SE.
  3. About to start a drinking game based on bemoaning adjectives. In the meantime, going for a jebwalk in the snow.
  4. Odd. Been in snows ranging from 30” to white rain and some of my favorites occurred when it snowed for 18 hours and amounted to a couple inches.
  5. Maybe my KPIs don’t align with most. I use inches more so as a guide for duration. Duration = time of enjoyment. Time of enjoyment = period of snow falling. Do people really derive enjoyment out of pulling a ruler out of their back pocket and measuring?
  6. Getting close to pulling an Atlanta strip mall at 24 degrees here in north Raleigh. Flakes getting bigger.
  7. Good time for a little trivia about Moyock. Moyock is closer to Staten Island, NY, than Staten Island is to the northern tip of NY.
  8. Some people like the good, high ratio fine, mid-20s powder. Some like the big dendrite, 34 and fat-flake wet snow — which I’ve coined the Atlanta strip mall. it’s really a preference thing.
  9. RDU is really not far from downtown in the air. I think you’ll be fine.
  10. I’ve got ice leftover from last weekend. It snowed on top of that ice last night. Now, I’ve got new snow falling on top of that. Is this Alaska??!
  11. This place dies right before and during storms. Seems like more are here for the chase than the goods.
  12. Wish there was more cold air around so this wasn’t so dynamically driven. If it weakens in modeling over time, thinking it becomes more slop and rain.
  13. I would note, speaking of both ‘93 and ‘96, the big ones usually get locked in early. Some good anecdotes in the Mid-Atlantic board archives that ‘93 was the best modeled storm in history at the time, and a major achievement in long-range forecasting.
  14. Starting to think things may get going here in Raleigh before 5 based on short range high res models
  15. The wouldn’t be able to play the Masters at Augusta if that happened
  16. ‘93 was a once in a generation triple-phasing deal
