87storms

Sheesh. Yea, the Caribbean is like that. Very little difference between high and low temps, and when it rains it's like a heavy mist.

We often get opposite weather than the west, but this is impressive: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=33.4482&lon=-112.0726. Phoenix is forecasted to be near 80 all week.

The southwest has done extremely well in that department this winter. I was tempted to travel, but prices are bad and I was already out there for 3 weeks recently.

They had the equivalent of the Miller B screw zone that we get from the coastal transfers. It's part of the sport. Looks like radar is filling in there, so I'm sure they'll end up with a couple inches minimum.

It's just misdirected DC sports frustration.

Even with the sleet bomb, it definitely looks like snow on the ground. Pretty incredible stretch of cold here...I don't recall anything like it since '94. If we can get a couple snowtoppers with the Wednesday thing and the potential clipper, then it changes the game a bit.

Nice! Looks like they got a flush hit from the ULL, though Raleigh seems to be getting snookered.

If it makes you feel any better, in and around Charlotte is now reporting up to 8"+ of snow.

Just saw people ice skating on a pond in Baker Park. The cold this winter is legit. Now we just need the gulf to become a regular contributor.

We had temps in the teens throughout the entire event. In the majority of storms, that’s all snow. In most winters, our issues are not precip, it’s temps. I grew up in the 80s (snow on the ground for weeks at a time) and have been thru all the big blizzards since (including traveling from 2007 to 2009 - was back in time for Dec 09), so I’m picky when it comes to wanting snow. That said, I don’t like when my basketball courts are covered lol, so if that’s gonna happen I want it to be for a good reason. I’m actually not as negative as I appear…but this is a competitive sport, so it gets to be a little ridiculous when I see places to the south getting the flush hits that we aren’t. But the tide will likely turn…just a matter of when.

I’m optimistic on a backloaded winter, but it’s definitely getting to the point of “go time”. Gotta get that EC trough further west somehow.

Not qpf. The Carolina’s are showing us how it’s really done.

Were you out of town for the last storm?

Seems like there’s two winning teams for this current storm…those that are closest to the ULL passage (eg, Charlotte) which we needed here and those in the coastal sections closest to the redeveloping surface low. Definitely some dryslotting in between.
