WNCwx Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Snow seems to bring out the worst in people on this board...specifically from either snow weenies or people who live in areas that don't get much. We should practice a little southern hospitality and give people the benefit of the doubt instead of going all "Deliverance" on people because of a simple question.

Sunny and Warm Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I apologize as i got the threads mixed up.Still not a very nice board as all i did was ask some stuff about peoples thoughts on the winters coming up in Sc. don't know where you are in SC, but I believe all the other poster was trying to say is that cold and snow is not something to predict or hope for in SC. If it comes, consider yourself lucky. Now if you are in deep upstate SC, you'll get more than I get. I get snow flurries once every 5-10 years, and a cold day is when it doesn't hit 40. I'm from PA, so to me, below zero and a foot of snow is winter weather to get excited about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be hit and miss as long as you're in Conway. On the other side, T-storms are definitely better down here than up there on a consistent basis. So, you win some, you lose some. I had plenty of winter in my life, and even though I am a cold and snow lover and always will be, the change of pace will do me good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your list reminds me of when I was in the Chilean desert once and asked a local how often it rains where we were (Antofagasta). He started his answer with the immortal words, "well, about eight years ago, we had an inch of rain and that was the most anyone could remember". Turns out they've had three rain events in this guys memory, and he was in his 40's. So, everything in life is relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. It's crazy, but sure if fun tracking storms 5 or 6 days out all the way until they hit. Thats the part I like the most; all of the anticipation up until the storm, then waiting for the atmosphere to saturate for the snow to actually make it to the ground.

HKY18 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 If, we can stay neutral or maybe a weak nino, with the blocking we had last year, look out cause the constant strength of the -NAO last year was amazing. It goes to show no matter what state the ENSO is in, if you have the right amount of blocking and a good pacific, that you can still have a very active winter!

I hope we can lock onto a -NAO and a +PNA. the +PNA was missing quite often last year. Actually the year before that was missing a +PNA too. WE have had an active Pacific jet the last couple years which allowed lots of s/w's to move out from the west into the SE. I just want the perfect setup to materialize this year. -NAO with a +PNA for an extended period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
