I think the next really interesting time period is from Jan 7-12. If we can keep that -NAO we might have a real shot then.

Man that's ugly.  Interestingly, not as much of an upward trend as i was expecting.  Also, what the heck was going on in 1983?  I was two at the time so had no memory.

Massive arctic front moved through Greensboro Christmas eve during the day.  Temps dropping into the single digits Christmas eve night.  Greensboro had a high of 18 on Christmas day and a low of 1.  Dec ended 6 below normal with a trace of snow, but ice on the 21st.

I’m looking to rent a cabin somewhere in the NC mountains for New Year’s Eve through the weekend…

Where’s the best chance for snow?  Or where’s the best place for me to ask this question? Lol

Can’t guarantee snow but your best bet will be in the Northern Mountains at 3500 feet or above… ideally in Avery or Watauga (or Wolf Laurel). I think Sugar, Beech or Wolf are your best bets.

You indeed called the potential early on. I hope McDowell gets 20”.

Overrated torch and Friday is trending towards 40s.

I'm honestly rooting for Charlotte and the foot hills second after MBY.  I know it's been a rough stretch and I know that last year watching the coastal plain (and Gulf Coast for that matter) must have rubbed salt in the wounds.

But even last week, many here warned that sneaky CAD may pull the rug out of any torch

Looks like we get multiple fronts coming through after Christmas now and more pronounced.

Things could always be worse. You could live in Alaska and not receive any snowfall for the entire month in what is normally your snowiest month.

That's wild, hopefully it makes up for lost time soon.

Its one crazy backdoor front. 70s to 40s back to 70s in 72 hours.
