Snow lol.  Never see that again!!!

I want to cry.  I remember the good old days when we used to track storms that never happened.   Now nothing happens ever.

But statistically atleast in the Carolinas the first part of March is actually the "snowiest day". For example, Charlotte is March 2nd. Not saying it will happen but it happens more in March than you are giving it credit for.

I think this is one of those things where it used to happen but won’t anymore.

Off topic…..Has anyone noticed the national decline of air quality since February 6th…wonder what’s going on.  Why aren’t we hearing about this? 
Lately having over 200 AQI, PM 2.5 near Garner, NC.  The AQI across the nation has dramatically increased.  

Ohio train derailment?

So now that anyone outside of imo 4K feet is out of play…. Does anyone else enjoy the tracking/Chase more than the actual event or is that just me? I love the anticipation of a model run, the highs/Lows ect lol then the event comes and goes and it’s like mehhh what do I do now lol


.

I don’t but I don’t really understand the weather.  I’m just a weenie looking for snow.  In fact if I follow a storm close and it doesn’t come to fruition I feel like I have a hangover.  Wasn’t this bad 10 years ago but our chances were better then

 Per Tarboro records, there was only a trace of snowfall in Jan of 2001 and that fell on the 9th. After that, the rest of the month was very dry and averaged slightly AN with temperatures. So, with Tarboro being only 10 miles away, I see no way that Conetoe got anywhere near 16" of snow in mid to late Jan of 2001.

Yeah I think I’m thinking of the 2000 storm but I was so sure that storm was in 2001.  So weird how the mind misremembers like that.

Can someone tell me I’m not crazy?  I lived in Conetoe in 2001.  I swear we had a snowstorm in the middle to latter half of January that was 16”.  Greg Fishel thought we might get an inch and some weird pattern caused the storm to exceed expectations.  All I can find is the 2000 snowstorm.  Am I wrong about the 2001 storm?

Well it’s thunder and lightning in Rolesville right now!   Normally I would say in 10 days we would see snow.  The past 15 years say no.

I I joined this site 12 years ago or so, mainly to watch for winter weather.  I used to get so excited to weenie watch but it feels like the last 6 or 7 years have all been duds.  I check in now about once every 2 weeks and am disappointed.  Climate change sucks.

I usually check in beginning of December to  start looking for snow storms to chase .  I stopped in today but I knew there would be nothing on the horizon.  I don’t think we’ll see more than a flurry all winter.

You had some with Fran in 1996 and that didn't turn so well. Be very careful what you wish for.

I was at ECU for this.   They shut down classes early and we had a big hurricane party in our dorm.  I passed out before it ever got there and missed all the fun.

I know it’s not right of me but I would like to get some tropical storm/hurricane action in the Triangle.

So 12” or 18”?

Im in Rolesville and we already have more than we had last event.  Nice glaze on trees and the deck.

Is there something really preventing you from getting hammered and taking the day off?  In the Covid era thats called a mental health day.  Do it!

20 years of sobriety lol.  I was wanting to get hanmered by the storm but I have no problem with those would partake on a stormy day,.

Live in Rolesville.  Would really love to get hammered tomorrow and take the day off but probably not going to happen.  I’ll gladly take a couple of days without power.

Anyone know what it is looking like right now up by Henderson? 

I just came through there.  Glaze on the trees you can see but everything else is fine.

I live in Rolesville.  What is this snow you speaking?

I predict rain and pain.

I am disappointed with the lack of hotness on the mid to long term discussion board.  Cold rain to infinity and beyond.

Might be the wrong place but I have work to do at the NCVA border tomorrow morning.  Planning on leaving Raleigh at 5 am.  Should I be concerned.  My van will not like slick roads.

Is this the thread where I can weep,wail, gnash my teeth?  One day I will have the money to chase the snow.  At least this is what I tell myself as I cry in the fetal position thinking about falling snow.

We had a good 10 minutes of snow in Rolesville.

Well here I go. Screw the weather and screw great patterns And screw you that saw flakes. Try living in Rockingham NC. I chased 20 minutes north to see. Flake. That’s my life. Nobody tell me a great patterns coining because you don’t know anything. Can’t enough predict a storm 12 hours out. Screw the models too . Btw winter is OVer 

I’ve come to the realization that if I want to see good snows every year I’m going to have to budget money to  and pack up and go to the mountains rent a cabin and enjoy it that way.
