Yes it's all in where you are located. I just think a true snowy winter is overdue
-
The foothills have averaged between 8-12 (sometimes more) inches of snow per decade generally until recently. For this decade so far we are averaging 3.5.
-
I urge all of you to look at climatology on webber weather to see how winters used to be. https://www.webberweather.com/nc-winter-weather-climatology.html
-
You have to look at trends. Trends show the SE Ridge being muted but there enough to keep the storm track west.
-
It does get a lot more than that but we have settled for "average" or slightly below being a great winter
-
Wall to Wall winter with all of the state west of I95 at or below average snowfall? The last Wall to Wall winter was 2009/10
-
So close yet so far

Euro is close to something a few times the next couple weeks but there's just enough ridging in tne SE to keep it a cold rain for most.
-
Call it what you want but let's not pretend this was a big storm
-
For what an inch or 2 in a small area?
-
December 2010 comes to mind- it was a La Nina and we had that phase on Christmas and model wars for days before. It was a special time. Lots of northern stream energy flying around the next few weeks, can we get a phase with some southern energy?
-
Early December can work like 2018/2017 but we need that cold entrenched or strong CAD which im just not seing.

23 this morning
-
Its still not prime climatological time for snow anyways. Mid December on and it's game time. Hopefully the pattern will stick around and the Pacitic won't come screaming in like the past 5 years.
-
I was on easternwx and accuweather forums back in the day. Does Robert (WxSouth) post anywhere? He was one of the best mets that knew our climatology.
-
What happened to him?
-
Its exciting if you like cold rain
-
Last nights Euro was the warmest run in a while and had some SE Ridge at times. More volatility eh?
-
I said slam dunk pattern not slam dunk storm. We usually need pattern recognition first. Its trending away from a SE Ridge for now but there are other complications like the MJO and the Pacific is still not playing nice. Yet.
-
The long range looks meh to me. Not a torch anymore but no slam dunk pattern that is primed for southern snow either.
-
Let's hope we get a better end result for foothills areas
-
Hopium is back!
-
I agree. I have rarely seen a decent/big snow with antecedent dry/very dry conditions.
-
At least drought conditions should improve

Interesting. I guess most of the marginal areas are struggling in the new normal
