I remember when they made this graphic they took a lot of flack. This is an edited version of the original. The original omitted a couple seasons of data including big winters of 1988 and another so the totals are lower than expected for some still. My 30 year average in Marion is around 10 inches not 6.6.
The odds continue to increase for a snowless winter for most of the southeast. I would put the odds of a trace or less of snow for Charlotte, GSP, Raleigh and GSO at 70%.
Looks like the Wednesday "threat" is going sour too. Even the Nam has the northern stream energy way too far north and into west Virginia and Virginia now. Odds of accumulating snow in WNC valleys is low
There have been a few occasions where I could drive to the Marion rest area which is about three or four hundred feet higher than where I live and see a white ground and nothing at the house which is 2 miles away.
Yup we are in trouble, especially in lower elevations. Next weekend looks too warm and after that it's going to be another week at least before it's cold enough.. That puts us close to the middle of February.
We're in trouble folks. Big SE ridge looks to build in after next weekend for a while at least according to the EPS and OP Euro. More rain of course too.
The mid Atlantic get some decent snow this run and a blizzard for the NE, trailing piece of energy from the Midwest gives some snow for the higher elevations on the backside
Well at least it looks interesting and maybe flooding. Today we are going over 2 inches easy looking at the radar which puts us over 10 for the month..
Yea it looks like we are about to enter a more volatile than normal pattern with lots of energy around and the models are having trouble latching onto storm placement, and which pieces of energy get going.
