Hope at least some of yall get a surprise. Another disappointment for your foothill/lower elevation mountain friends. Consistent with the last few years.

I’ll never forgive the models for giving @wncsnowhope for once only to give us nothing

I really let myself get down and out during that January system. This one was the nail in the coffin for me. I'm out of tracking winter weather for this year. It honestly just has not brought me joy. I'll still probably linger but I'm out for the forseeable future. Best of luck, guys.

I heard this several times before the dud of an event in January. Didn’t pan out then and won’t now

Posters on here regularly come for wncsnow when he’s just posting what he says for his area….which is exactly the same as y’all are doing. Good for yall down east scoring again. But, foothill folks have a reason to post as well. And the trends haven’t been good.

Don’t blame you, @wncsnow. The main forum doesn’t work for us and the mountain folks kicked us out last year. Sucks that we can’t seem to pull one in. Another dud.

When are today's strong winds? There's barely even been a breeze since the line moved through...

Where's the QPF? Same story as every other "winter" threat this year. Rain, sure, here's an atmospheric river. But, snow *poof*

Coming back to this to say I doubt I’ll even see accumulation.

GFS was essentially a nothing-burger here. Having January flashbacks of a weaker and non-impressive system here.

EPS was another tick down here. Seems like it'll be one of those where Piedmont gets smoked, while I get a small storm. Guess it's better than nothing.

I'm still in the "I'll believe it when I see it". I think there will be wintry precip around but will be too late of a bloomer for me. Maybe a trace.

Sounds and looks about right. More NC misery.

What does it take for us in the foothills to score anymore. It's either amped/rain or weak/sheared/no precip. I just need 1 decent storm y'all.

Yawn. Let the trend to 33 and rain hurry on up.

People still talking snow chances in the foothills? Not happening. It will be cold. It will rain. It will be miserable. There will be no snow.

100% what I expect living in the foothill snow hole this year haha

Yawn. The long-range models don't excite me. Lots of the same as we've seen before. It'll just trend towards a cutter/rain or suppressed/cold/snow in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Just take me on to Spring already to end the misery

A couple trees had some light glazing as I was going up Old Fort mountian but in general temps ranged from 40 at the bottom of the mountain to 34 at the top. Nothing significant.

@BornAgain13single-handedly keeping this forum alive at this point. Everyone in NC has already checked out for the year.

Took a break from here and doesn't look like I missed much other than a day of hope that was quickly washed away. Winter is over folks. Other than the late frost and freezes we will see in March/April. We blew it this year.

Other than next weekend, there's really nothing positive in the models or indicies right now. I think @wncsnowis right, we likely punt until at least Valentine's day. Heck, we're talking 60s next week!

I feel like we're the only folks in the southeast with a legit reason to complain this winter. Foothills of WNC and Upstate of SC. It sucks. The mountain group gets pounded every week and can't relate to us even though we are 30 mins apart from a distance perspective. It's becoming painful to even come on here, tbh. Literal worst case scenario is coming true for us (and it's the one I posted about several times). Mountains get pounded by NWFS multiple times and then a big coastal event hits leaving a large gap from Asheville to Hickory....

I stood outside since your report @wncsnowand never saw a flake here in Old Fort. Must have just missed it. Ceiling heights are much higher here now.

Just close enough to make me feel even more miserable than the last "storm"
