digital snow

Hey! I introduced myself in the sanitarium. Recent transplant and fellow weather lover. The pattern looks great! What if the models had blizzard after blizzard hitting NC at 300+ hours? You and I know damn well what would happen, and if we did get winter weather it is more likely than not to be over forecasted and then give us a dusting followed by sleet and frzrain. It doesn't look like a torch (and don't go all in that a torch won't happen) but it isn't time to throw in the towel. I have been back and forth from NC for 20 yrs and I have seen more winter weather here than NOVA (Minus the BIG ONE) and before climate change lol. My dates might be a little scratchy but Im not looking that shit up. 1999?- 20 in in of cold smoke in f'ing Central NC!?! 2002?- Snow & Ice (Severe- no power for a week) maybe 4 in. snow in durham and followed by 1" plus frz rain, 2002ish- several inches of sleet that was forecasted to be rain lasted for like 12 hours. 2005?- 1 in snow snarls traffic for 8+ hrs and kids slept at school ( I had to pee in public on Falls of Nuese the with car running). 2009? -SNOW ON XMAS- it was Xmas night I believe and it was like 6 or more inches if I remember. 2014-9+ inches *I was in Greensboro and built a snowman. 2016 was at one point forecasted to drop 18 in. in Greensboro at a 36 hr lead time and we got less than a half in. of snow. Yes we got sleet and frz. rain and it was still a big storm but not what we were wetting our pants about while we saw the DC burbs in up to 36 in. of snow. 2018- southern slider that pissed me off bad bc I saw a flurry and NC racked up plowable snow. I am sure you might have experienced many of those storms and I hope that it gives you hope that the big one is coming! Cheers!

Hello SE forum peeps. I recently moved from NOVA and now live in Durham. Not too frequent a poster, I think my most liked posts were when I told CLKGriswald that nobody gives a shit what happens in Winchester and when I trolled DCTeacherman for preferring events with a front end thump to a dry slot. I was in the MA for 10 years or so and saw a couple decent storms, but it hasn't really happened there since 2018 and before that it was 2016. Yes, the snow drought is concerning climo wise and frustrating to say the least but I have a good feeling about the upcoming 4-5 weeks. Don't wanna come in talking shit, but gd north hills and Union county wx need to get a hold of themselves or get some real addictions. It is Feb 6th! Storms pop up here in a couple of days sometimes and this pattern gives us the best shot we have had in years. Nice to meet everyone!

That didn't count and you know it

I bet ya $20 it won't snow all winter... How's that for phantom knowledge? We now are entering the same climate zone as Hattiesburg MS. Bring on the southern belles!

@snowfart69

same as the last storm... sucks

rn/sn in Dunn Loring just wet mulch maybe has a speck or two. Starting to get worried

fatties in Vienna 35 Might we not hit freezing until the snow stops...

flurries... almost light snowish at Dunn Loring. nvm storm must be over. It stopped

But before we stop, can we mention Tuckahoe?

Learning target - Check yourself fool I know I have got it when - I am watching pouring rain

Fatties in Vienna

Blend the GFS and the Euro. Toss the ICON (always toss the ICON) The NAM is that voice in the back of your head, and the other models are noise. Call school and extend my winter break. Number two reason I became a teacher, winter break that is. Snow days are number three. Spring break four. Yeah you get it. We don't do anything. 60 in Vienna and warm af. People really go to college for this sh**t?

If I have to read read one more post about the precipitation drying up for the NW crew I might start clawing at my own eyeballs. I am just kidding to an extent and I know this is an IMBY hobby so I forgive you but for real...

NW crew representing lol. Are you mad bro? I will take what I can get.

What about Winchester? I am afraid I might not get a foot It's a good thing all 3 people who live there post on this board.

I was in Greensboro NC for 2016 storm. We had pouring sleet the size of quarters. I remember NWS writing it was the largest sleet pellets they had ever seen.

Good, those are excellent models. Hang your hat

When are we supposed to change to snow? Check the models, they have great lately. Actually, the short term models have been spot on, I just refuse to believe them when they they torch my snowstorms.

Looks like rain

Frustration and angst are my best qualities

We now have the climatology of Meridian Mississippi.

Get bread, milk, and eggs. We are going to be snowed in for a hot minute and I love french toast

I am inclined to believe any model that gives me more snow

First flakage in Burke- It's a North Carolina snowstorm... I think I see a flake... Oh, there's one! Nope, that wasn't a snowflake...
