Todays 0.51” was more than I expected. The storm, or shower since I saw no lightning and heard no thunder, was rather unimpressive otherwise. Winds were stronger this afternoon before anything arrived. Still lightly raining

Agreed. A dry spring is a guaranteed drought a few months later

I have no more words for the disaster of a winter this was. Today was a 10/10 weather wise though. Hopefully we keep a mild spring well into May and turkey hunting and fishing is pleasant. I plan to bring my daughter along to the turkey blind for the first time this year so I hope we get some weekend days just like today!

33 for the low this morning and quite frosty

0.23” today for a 2-day total of 0.68”. Thunder and lightning with todays storm Good soaking

0.45” yesterday

Trust the ops inside a week because I can assure you none them were consistently showing snow or cold in that time period

First rainy day here in awhile. Tenth of an inch so far. Dare I say we needed it? It had gotten a little dry here as of late

Not SE specific but this illustrates how bad February was for the east coast https://x.com/ericfisher/status/1760769133505863805?s=46&t=NyKvXvI1o-sJQb-68mmo4g

Shoutout to @TARHEELPROGRAMMER88 for once again keeping the sanitarium warm for everyone once they decided to jump. It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it

They’re great when they predict above average temps bc that’ll give you a 90% hit rate these days

Weeklies are as trustworthy as my high school girlfriend

There’s a small sliver, roughly the mason Dixon line to eastern PA, of the east coast that’s done well this winter. Other than that, pretty much the entire east coast has shared in the misery. Parts of the MA had a great week in January and Connecticut had localized jackpots from a coastal storm recently but the vast majority of the east coast is in this same snow drought. I wonder if those years noted above featured failures for the entire east coast such as this has or if it was more regional to the southeast

The fact hours 210-318 on the 06z GFS are all rain illustrates why some doubt it will ever snow again. 1040 high moving into Maine with a trailing wave, blocking, and coastal development with precip back to mountains. Not even a pixel of digital blue. It requires more stars to align for snow here now than for the panthers to win a Super Bowl

Seems attainable

Foothills, whatever you want to call them

That’s hilarious. I cannot believe the highlands couldn’t even buy a rogue snow shower dusting during one of the many upslope events NC has gotten

So far at RDU, 14 of the first 19 days have been above average for high temps this month, including two days where the daily low temp stayed above the average high temp for the date. Only saving grace has been it’s been relatively dry meaning we’ve had some phenomenal weather days. But we’ve been so far removed from even thinking about snow besides on a weather forum it’s literally become a pipe dream around here

Low of 28.1 this morning

I feel like NC and most of the Atlantic seaboard has gotten exceptionally lucky since Florence. I have a gut feeling that changes this year. Everything screams an exceptionally bad season for the basin

Not terrible. Last year we had leaves out before March

It doesn’t seem to be that far ahead here compared to normal. That being said, the last few Februarys have been so warm that maybe it’s skewing what normal is… Blooms on most flowering trees but nothing popped yet

Watching that slug of moisture going from the gulf out into the Atlantic is extremely frustrating. I’ll call the opaque sky and 30’s a win this year, closest thing to snow we’ve had this year smdh

The 23-24 may be worth watching. EURO isn’t that far off. Need the low in MW to dig more but I’ve seen this evolution work out before.
