Actually I think it's kinda cool. And we get some tourist dollars in winter. I'm sure Elizabeth City won't be complaining.

Ah. Precip type and totals are highly dependent on dynamics and precip rate. Bloody marvelous. I'd like to be in Greenville right now. NC not SC. (No offense upstate)

I wouldn't hug the NAM too tightly though. Learned that from someone last night.

Preach!

I'd love to help, but I've never tried the ignore feature. I forgot it existed. I wish we had a doom and gloom filter.

I ain't cliff divin, but I'm a bit nervous of the mixing line creeping ever closer. Also, looks like event may start earlier in the day, which I'm not a fan of. We need most of that falling with the sun down to maximize potential accumulations. I wish I could punch that warm nose in the nose.

Ya'll are due, that's for sure. Although with your luck, you'll probably get a hurricane later this year instead...

I agree with everything on this list, with the exception of some of the words in #5. (but that's just nitpicking) Also, nice username.

Got it.

Who cares about the CMC? I thought the ICON was the king of all models.

I don't remember the blackbirds, but I do remember something about the skies healing between storms (or something). Although I mostly just lurked then. If the skies healing theory is even close to a thing, we are due for a big one right now...

BullCity's gotta point though..

Sweet. All hail the ICON!! Why do we even have any other models besides this one?

I just got Nam'd again!

No way man. We'll be in here whining about only getting 2''.

https://www.weather.gov/rah/events After looking at some of these over the years, some patterns emerge. If Eastern NC jackpots, the precip cutoff usually won't get to Raleigh, or be too low to matter. Once the shield expands over the Triangle, it's usually enough to get into the Triad (and probably CLT too). Very few times does the Triangle get a decent amount of snow and the Triad none. I can't recall it happening at all. (I'm sure it has, so I'm sure someone will link an event!) And I certainly don't remember GSO getting 3"+ snow, and WS getting none.

Not really relevant because its an extreme case, but here's an example of it happening. There's probably one or 2 more cases where Winston was in outside looking in, but I can't recall them offhand. It's certainly possible, but extremely uncommon climo-wise.

Stupid Brexit. Do we buy another one in dollars or pounds??

Sounds like heaven to me.

Lord have mercy.

Yea, I'd like to request a 7pm start time myself for maximum chances of any accumulation. Oh absolutely. In fact, I think there was even one in GA who used to post awhile back but I forgot the name or what station it could have been.

Storm thread created! Fun drinking game. Take a shot whenever sun angle, ground temps, or WRAL are mentioned.

Congrats Williamston, Windsor, & Ahoskie!

Snow drought means snow gods are angry. They ignore our pleas for mercy and believe we've forsaken them. A way must be found to appease them this week, or it will be too late.

All of these are impressive in their own way. But aren't these outliers? Instead of specifying 1 cold week in one state in the SE, or mentioning 2 events in one city in that state in the SE, couldn't we come up with a better measure? Maybe we could compare Asheville's avg snowfall between 2010-2019 and compare to it's historical avg? Or maybe instead of focusing on that crazy cold week that was referenced in NC 2 years ago, we could compare it to the overall avg winter temperature that year, which if I recall correctly, was one big torch?
