Yep I'm worried we may be losing out on a super blocking-NAO with little to talk about due to the lack of cold air. And if this was a Nino can you imagine the subtropical jet? It would decide to finally have a -NAO with a moderate Nina
Crazy variation in snow amounts in short distances. Here at my house less than an inch, 2 miles to my SE on a hill close to 2 inches. Probably 2 or 3 in Morganton but very little near Hickory.
Did some driving around. It's pouring in Morganton and they have a few inches. Also was triple the snow on the bypass as we had near the river. Even a few hundred feet help in marginal setups
