    Least snowy 7 years in recorded history 

    This isn’t about one storm. Ya it can still snow. It likely will snow this winter at some point.  This isn’t about one bad year. It’s literally been the least snowy period ever over 7 years now and you’re acting like it’s just some bad luck for a month or two. 

    2019 was a grave disappointment.

    This was placed in the banter thread by WeatherShak but shows the average snow stats by decade.  There have been other bad decades before anyone knew about global warming.  I have lived through three of them so far.  Hopefully, we will all live long enough to see good and bad decades.  Toughen  up people, or move further north.

    2020's will be negative.  That's right, they will SUBTRACT snow from previous decades.

    I was living in Hickory, NC at the time and remember a very nice storm that dropped around a foot sometime in Jan/Feb, plus we had several nice ice storms.

    That was probably the same January 2-3 even I mentioned that did well at RDU.  I had almost completely forgotten about that storm and my memories of 2001 -2002 were negative based on the overall warmth.

    I was mostly at Greenville but spent a  week at Asheville and a week at Boone. 

    As you can see from my profile I live in Wilson which is just 45 minutes or so west of Greeneville.  Our snow climatology could best be described as: "We see flakes 2 out of 3 years, and that ain't bad!".  Oddly enough I haven't been fully shut-out (no flakes at all) since I have been here.  Closet I came was in 2011-12 but I did see a few sleet pellets' that year.  I'm afraid this year might be the year.

    I hope it wasn't 2002-03 (though I think even they got a legit storm in mid January 03).

    Actually 2002 - 2003 was really "good" by NC standards, at least where I was in the Triad.  Several minor events and persistent cold.  One of my favorites.  2001 - 2002 was awful on the other hand.

    If I’m not mistaken both the eps and gefs had tremendous looks for next weekends storm. So …

    I'm not sure they could be called tremendous.  The airmass was always horrible.  But both models "saw" that if everything went exactly right in the best possible way, a nice storm could result.

    Would fit remarkably well with what we've seen ever since late Fall, with major -EPO spikes that precede a transient (albeit stout) colder regime in the Midwest/East, taking place every month or so. A similar tanking of the EPO happened close to the 15th back in November, another one near the 18th of December, and now it's plausible that a similar event will take place near the 20th-25th of this month. 

    Wouldn't it be ironic if we had two cold, dry -EPO periods sandwiched around the January Pack Puke warm/moist period.  Good thing for me I also enjoy cold dry weather.
