I’d take snow in June

You nailed it, it’s all about perspective! The 2.6” of snow and temps all day in the teens from the Jan 31 event normally would’ve been a great storm, but being I got probably the lowest total forum wide (at least in the Carolina’s) that was the least enjoyable storm I can ever remember. Really sapped the joy out of what was a beautiful scene the next morning. Anyone complaining about this winter from NYC north I don’t have much sympathy for, they literally have had month+ long snowpack and are almost guaranteed area wide to be above average by March with below normal temps pretty much the entire winter to the point they saw ocean ice and the rivers froze. Once they hit climo you see the venting go way down but no one up there can say this was a bad winter even if they don’t because even in THE BEST winters it’s hard to get the sustained cold and snowpack all the way to the beach they’ve had. DC I can KINDA side with, a lot of the early storms missed them to the south and their big storm turned into a sleet bomb, but they have also enjoyed deep winter with snowpack pretty much until this week though they may not hit climo im sure there will be a time to grade winter here but its hard not to feel disappointed in the triangle, and thats mostly due to perspective from missing the areas one big storm

The Sunday/Monday system looks like like it could be a beast north of us somewhere

6z EURO completely caved to GFS for this weekends storm. Now it too shows a strong costal low off the mid Atlantic whereas it hasn’t even had the storm in previous runs. Someone from the MA to NE might get buried this weekend

Got down to 33.6 but extremely heavy frost. Looks like we had freezing fog overnight

Beautiful day- crisp after yesterday’s storm. High 55.4 already down to 46.8 wouldn’t shock me to make a run at freezing

Looks like we make it through yet another February without a trackable threat. I know RDU-east got that February storm last year but there have been so many blanks recently that it’s really becoming a spring month. This is most on the forums snowiest climo month and now it’s just a segway into official spring.

Even with that look it shows temps in 40s across NC piedmont and mid 30s in Virginia

Won’t be anything close to offset this week of +10 to +25 AN readings. Winter is over for the piedmont. We’re chasing freezes now

Finished with 0.78”. Good rain but that won’t dent the drought, was hoping for over an inch at least

Sitting at 0.75” with rain still falling

Could push 80s late week. My point click says 76 which is aggressive for RAH

Low of 26.6 this morning

Always sad seeing the season end. Hate February just doesn’t work often anymore for anyone outside the mountains. I am thankful for a cold winter and 3 accumulating events. Still have one last pile holding on from my driveway

Almost the entire state of NC is now in severe drought and areas around Charlotte have slipped into the rare exceptional drought category
