Winter is over for the piedmont

December 2000 takes the cake. We went from 12-18” to literally nothing and had no clue it was a total fail until well into the day of. This one we knew the dry slot was likely on top of us, it just sucked bc it snowed a lot literally 360 degrees around us

Sounds familiar this year

We got less than 1” QPF from both big storms combined here. Severe drought and in serious need of one of these events to not dry up 48 hours before

Is GSP sticking with their “significant” to “extreme” snow risk this weekend lol

Bottomed out at 26.1 this morning. Last day for the sleet remnants I believe.

Topped out at 44 already down to freezing. I’ve gotta say, I am so impressed with sleet staying power. The 3/4” we received more than 2 weeks ago is STILL visible in shaded areas. All the snow melted quick but remnants of sleet hang on. Impressive to say the least.

Up and down and showers- sounds like… Spring Jokes aside it’s been a remarkable cold pattern the east coast has been locked in and no one should expect cold like this to continue as long as it has in ANY winter. But seeing the pacific firehose into west coast again tells me it’s done, and any cold shots likely will be followed by significant warmups. A spring pattern going into mid-late February doesn’t necessarily mean a warm pattern. Spring is up and down but the ups are more significant than the past couple months. If RDU hadn’t failed at the last storm I think every major city on east coast would finish above normal snowfall and below normal temps for the winter. As it stands I think Raleigh is the only city on the east coast BN for snowfall (seasonal, not to date)

Watching yesterday’s virga didn’t qualify as a makeup storm to you?

16.5 this morning. Probably last teens of the year

One word comes to mind looking at overnight modeling: spring

This might go down as one of the funniest maps ever. I cannot believe they published this almost a week out

I don’t think we’re gonna crack freezing here. 31.4 and hasn’t moved in an hour

What’s even more frustrating is in this case, for once, the best lift went directly over Raleigh like literally over the city in a thin band. Just a little moisture and this drops an inch of fluff in the 20’s. Alas, we suck

NGL, pretty frustrating looking at composite radar and wishing the air wasn’t this dry
