I know it’s late and I know there is no more cliff to jump from since we’re all at the bottom but the Canadian, Euro, and EPS aren’t half bad looks for the March 6-8 timeframe and have had that system for some time now. GFS trended significantly colder overnight as well

GFS says we all may need to band together and build an ark

Every kind of rain, just like in Forrest Gump!

Last years pollen seemed exceptionally bad

Chilly 35.7 out this morning. Can we talk about yesterday?? 65.2 for a high with brilliant sunshine. Could not be prettier, looking forward to today and maybe breaking 70 for the first time in 2021

I grade this winter even worse than last winter in my feeling after it. At least last year we had some beautiful stretches of weather. It was just cold and rainy throughout this year. Today really has made me realize how much I missed a pleasantly warm, sunny, winter day. Also our snow was daylight last year and stuck around a couple days in the shade. We had zero threats last year but also zero letdowns. That arctic outbreak that seemingly hit everywhere but here after days/weeks of watching it get here on models only to be pushed back further and further until it never came was gut wrenching

Fat lady has sung on winter 20/21. Looking forward to nearing 70 tomorrow and hopefully we have a mild spring with a few dry days sprinkled in! At least many in the upstate and Carolinas avoided getting blanked. Well take our consolation prize I guess... Looking downright springlike after Friday

Only positive about this winter was that it was fun actually tracking threats for two straight months but to see nothing pan out besides a very light snow took the wind out of most our sails

F for me. One overnight snow you had to stay up till 3 am to enjoy and was gone by noon the next day then a million threats that faded as we got into the 2 day range all the while epic cold invaded the southern plains and it snowed multiple Times down to the gulf coast. And, to add insult to injury, we finally had the -NAO and blocking we’ve missed 3 winters in a row during peak winter and couldn’t score. Cold, blocking, and near constant storms from the southern jet and we couldn’t score. That’s an F in my book. I know it was a normal winter temp wise but that’s all we got out of it in Raleigh. Happy for the mountains but that didn’t translate East of there

31.8 this morning and very foggy/frosty out

This may be our last night near the freezing mark for some time

Wow what a front! 61.3 high just an hour ago now down to 42.2. Heavy storm knocked my power out too for about an hour. 0.35” in the bucket and raining hard.

The fat lady has walked onto the stage and the mic is hot

BRRRRRR, low of 22 this morning

C but I was tempted to say A because that just sounds so amazing. But two years down the road without snow and I’d be in a bad place can’t imagine 3-5

At least we’ve been tracking constantly this winter but man with what just happened to Texas and the Deep South and you get completely blanked with that cold air on our doorstep hurts more than it should

The only issue is your “natural” style lawn is clearly doing much better than mine https://postimg.cc/9DFsk20M

I’ve tried fescue and found it either isn’t shade tolerant enough or needs water daily but it failed bad when I planted it last spring

Doubt we’ll even have anything worthy of starting a thread by the end of the weekend. I like everything about that GFS run other than the fact it’s nearly a week out....

When I read this I immediately thought someone had started a thread, lol

I’m out...

Any suggestions for spring re-planting or a yard? My entire yard is destroyed from this winter and last year’s rain. Never started over from scratch. Any ideas on seed to use (low maintenance) and timing when to plant?

Last year it snowed ALL afternoon and frequently moderate during the storm at the end of February and only a couple inches stuck and it was to the grass. Greenville and places East had it fall during the night and ended up with 5-6 inches. Yes, it can snow and yes, it can accumulate late into February/early March but it has to snow HARD during daylight to stick and don’t expect it to last through noon the next day. A light to moderate snow will not amount to much during daylight this time of year, coming from experience

Is this not the exact same time it snowed last year with almost the exact same look...

Looks strangely like it snowed on my cameras in Franklin county last night Any ground truth to this? Looks to have been brief but shocking if true given the warm nose
