This isn’t designed to be a pessimistic post but the reality is that outside of the mountains, we’re all going to have to dial back our expectations going forward and we should ignore the Mets who love to throw out lofty analog years every given winter. The oceans are cooking right now. The Atlantic is breaking all-time records for warmth this time of year and a warm pacific has contributed to an absurdly bad pacific pattern for us not only now but for years. It was challenging to get snow decades ago and it’s a big ask now when our region is constantly torn between mild pacific patterns and a SER that just can’t help itself with the Caribbean temperatures 100 miles off our coastlines.

Sheesh

27 and dropping like a rock here at the house

Gods Country. One of my favorite parts of the state and one of the most underrated.

I’m coming too but I’ll bring my own air mattress or sleep in the car.

I’m not implying the odds are even remotely in our favor with this system but this is certainly an interesting point: https://x.com/dcareawx/status/1747291546888675406?s=46

Some of yall are missing a huge side hustle opportunity. Strap a GoPro on the chest when you go for a walk and post it on YouTube. I realized recently there is an absurd craze for that sort of thing on YouTube. check out Lvfree. He always films around the Toronto suburbs. https://youtu.be/egEV2W3sa9Y?si=5roOGW9uWZCbnev5

More pictures please

One thing that makes me much more optimistic moving forward is that we’ve lacked any sort of snowpack in the higher latitudes to this point. That has changed dramatically the past week and will continue to do so. Southern Canada is a freezer right now and we just need one high pressure to slip into the right spot with an undercutting storm and we’re in business. Of course - easier said than done.

This is just nuts. We wouldn’t even be able to wrap our brains around that snowfall forecast and they’re gearing up for it twice in one week

Yall there’s frozen precip tonight almost to the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. A better winter in southern Louisiana than here.

Keeping the power on is going to become an issue for you guys here pretty soon

Oh lawd. Us foothills boys can’t even get snow when we’re hunting it down lol.

Congrats guys. More heavy rates to come as well.

I’d rather it be 105 outside than watch today happen again

Looks like Watauga County is getting absolutely smoked rn

Euro has an apps runner on Friday with light rain followed by yes, cold air

UNC fans occupy too much of my hating time to focus on anything west of the state line lol

Starting to hate the state of TN

Mud ain’t fun when it’s dry!

Moisture is absolutely overperforming to our SW and I won’t be shocked to see us get socked in this afternoon and evening. Unfortunately it’s going to be rain and or sleet at best.

We need that ridge to pump out west. That’s what has screwed us for Friday at this point.

Fat flakes in Lenoir rn. Enjoying it while it lasts!

Moderate sleet with snow mixed in near Lenoir

Boone is getting pummeled right now
