Jmoon Posted February 11 So depressing to see that artic air on our doorstep but not making it any further east. Hoping for a miracle in the little bit of time we have left this winter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When even Deep TX/LA are getting snow and we can’t.... you just gotta laugh and assume it just wasn’t meant to be this year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magpiemaniac Posted February 11 All winter long, we’ve heard the repeated mantra that “the players are on the field”. For almost every system that flies through, don’t worry, folks, because “the players are on the field”. Well, I don’t know about y’all, but our players seem to be a bunch of overpaid, lazy prima donnas who don’t want to work for their checks. ”It’s not my fault. Cold air mass couldn’t catch a ball if he tried.” ”Don’t look at me. I was being blocked by those damn linemen in the Apps.” Our players on the field suck. No heart. No drive. Might as well move on to spring training. 1 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pilotwx Posted February 11 FZ is fun while it's happening, but when it ends and no power for more than a week, that includes most places to get a warm meal. Been through it had my life experience i'm good with plain rain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reedski Posted February 11 Was really hoping to get some action in CAE this year. My daughter is 6 and hasn't had a good snow yet. She's seen flurries twice I think. Every time it gets cold she asks is it going to snow. 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iceagewhereartthou Posted February 11 21 hours ago, Iceagewhereartthou said: This is the current map. It really shows the tough in the middle of the country and this seems to have been the prevailing pattern this year, with almost no movement East. It's strange, despite not having a major SER this year it's been there enough to keep out the true cold. Next week the cold looks to be magnified and epanded a bit East to LA/MS/AL, but basically seems to stay in place. And here's today's image. Again,the position of the trough and SER are very clear. Unfortunately this looks to be the case for the next week leaving us in the warm and wet sector. Just too bad we could get it to move East! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LibertyStorm Posted February 11 I remember back in January 2018 we had two storms about 2 weeks apart. The first we got about 2-3 inches and the second we got 9-10 inches. Then later that year we had an early December storm that got me about 7 inches. Since then i’ve had about a total of 2 inches snow through 2 1/2 winters.

rduwx Posted February 11 I'm one of the few that grew up in Cary, NC and it's amazing how different winters are now in comparison to the 80's. It seemed we always had 2 good winter storms a year. Now we're lucky to get 2 good winter storms a decade...LOL! That's part of the reason I'm not on the board much anymore. I got tired of getting the Charlie Brown football/Lucy routine pulled on me all the time. Now after at least 15 years on weather boards the disappointment isn't as bad because you actually expect the models to change to either a warmer solution or to shift north. Now bring on the 7 out of 8 days of rain... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthHillsWx Posted February 11 GFS run has cancelled winter. Some might see some light ice over next couple days but we go into a spring pattern beyond that. Once what’s left of this artic air in the MW gets ejected it looks very spring like here later on. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grayman Posted February 11 I love this thread. We are all getting out 3 years of frustration. I’m still flake less for 3 years now. I think global warming has changed the climate. Rockingham is now the new Augusta Ga. My only expectations moving forward over the next 5 years is a very rare snowstorm but I really doubt that will happen. Winter is over forever . 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
