Another day of noisy thunderstorms all around and not a drop of rain. 

Same here. I hear all the thunder, but no rain. The radar lights up, but not here. 3 days ago, I had .09. Nothing since.

Currently 89.3. I made it to 96.3 yesterday. Highest temp in many years here. 

.40 inches of rain here at my house. 2.78 inches of rain at the airport!!

Well that sent me to my dictionary. I can check off my daily learning requirement for the day. 

I had just accepted that I didn't know, but you made me go look. 

How have I never heard that word in all my many years?

37 at the airport. 29.1 here at my house. Huge difference. 

Sitting at 69.6 at 5:40 AM on April 5th. Crazy.

March is often a windy month but I have never seen as many 35+ mph gust days as this year...

Jason Boyer had posted something on Facebook about this being the windiest March on record. (Though I can't find it)  My son and I spent yesterday afternoon cutting up one of our trees that fell in the road. I've sawed up more trees this year than the rest of my years combined.

Quite the inversion. 18.9 here this AM. 

It will be gone at 0z, but I will throw it on here to break the silence.

Lol it's raining near the airport.  This area sucks for snow.  

It does any more. It's like Columbia, SC was dropped on top of Asheville. Actually, I haven't looked, but they probably have more snow than here the last 3 years. 

At least you can head home to snow,lol. 

Enough snow to dust the cars. Apparently, there are slick spots around the county. Still clinging to hope for something a little more substantial.

I will be pleasantly surprised if Marion gets 3 inches 

That would be nice! I hope that you get it. I would be thrilled if I got 3 inches also. The trend is not my friend, but I keep clicking the next model. I hope for the turn around to the bitter end. 

NWS not very excited. I'm in between the 1 and 2 inch line. Hopefully, tonight will take a turn to a big dog. But, we will take what we get and like it, lol.

Winter Storm Watch has been issued up this way. 

I hope that you get a picture worthy event... With more snow than ice!!

In addition, a good number don’t want a major icestorm for obvious reasons and would thus rather have 33+ rain with heat/power if that’s the only realistic alternative.

Of course, I don't think anybody wants anything that produces damage and causes problems for everyone. I spent weeks cleaning up from Helene. I know I have had enough catastrophe. But, if it could wiggle into some snow for me, I would take it.

But, none of us have any control over what happens. What happens happens.

About to be some broken hearts in here

I doubt it. I think everyone is hoping for a better solution, enjoying any positive trends, but realistic that it probably won't happen. 

Always hoping for the miracle, lol. 

Icon sagging South for next week .

Better sit down for this news. It's rain now.

GFS is a Met1985 special.

I'm thinking they mean the winter we have all had so far. We will be back to a more normal winter. Lots of average temp days, with a few quick cold shots thrown in here and their. Pretty sure we are done with snow and ice events.

Lol. I don't think we are done with snow and ice events. I have no idea what they are saying. 

GSP in their long range discussion this AM.... Kind of an odd thing to say. 

"The pattern makes one wonder if we are done
with Winter."

That one sticks in my head too. We had powder snow on top. Pines cracking sounded like shotgun blasts.

Thanks for sharing. I used to have this map saved. 

 

We haven't reached our normal snowfall for 5 of the past 6 winters. 

You're welcome. No, you really have the best approach right. No need to get excited until your tires are spinning in the driveway.
