Go ahead and send that s*it to Ohio. In more relevant news, loving the weather so far this week. Milder highs and decently chilly lows are perfect for the end of February.

Since I moved from Boone to Charlotte in the summer of 21, Charlotte has found every way to get screwed out if a good storm. Maybe I just need to move back to the mountains for CLT to have a chance lol.

The ditch in front of my house is fully green with tall grass that the NCDOT planted. Now if only they could finish the road they're working on next to said ditch that they haven't touched in 6 months so I could actually mow the ditch, that'd be GREAT.

Shout out to *checks notes* Houston, TX New Orleans, LA Mobile, AL, and 95% of the US that has had snow this season for all having more snow than Charlotte, NC!

Biggest F****** flakes I've seen in a few years in Charlotte currently. Not adding up to anythin, but just seeing it is worth the wait

Flurries in South End Charlotte. Not aware of current temps.

Nothing in South End. Skies have darkened quite a bit though

Also not to post some junk in the storm thread, being in charlotte this winter has absolutely sucked. Seems like everyone around us has scored better than charlotte proper

And everyone (except for a couple of posters) said amen lol. I like how the storm threads have reached the point of assuming what the radar shows is what's actively hitting the ground lol. It's almost unbearable to to read through, but it's very entertaining.

Good thing, because everyone is already posting on FB about moisture transport from the gulf being robbed.

Dang, maybe get some sun in charlotte haha

I gave up last week. I'll take token flurries and sleet and hope next stop is spring.

If only that model was worth anything lol. I think the 3k nam is hinting at more moisture coming in as the coastal starts to crank. Let's get that thing going and everyone should be "happy"

That's incorrect. As I was the only ashe county poster that I'm aware of until I moved back down to the Charlotte area and changed my name. anyways. Just got back from chasing snow in Tennessee. Let's reel her in.

Logged on for the first time in months since today is November 1, and was excited to start talking about winter. "We'll try again next year" seems to be the theme already lol. May be a new record for earliest punt of a season.

Agreed. Although technically not in a drought yet here, it's amazing how bone dry the grass has become the last two weeks. La Nina doing La Nina things now after a decently wet spring.

Now that sports betting is legal, how do I bet the under on precip? I'll bet my house.

Looks like the next couple of weeks are going to be roughly an average spring pattern. Some warmer days, some colder. Precip looks to be consistently between 1.5 inches to two inches through most model runs as we get into the beginning of May, though I'm sure some will be from thunderstorms so that will probably be some variation among locations. Rumblings have started that as we get closer to the middle of May we really start to really warm up and dry out, so we need all the rain we can get now if that's true. On a random note, I've really gotten into watching Ryan Hall's severe weather livestreams lately, especially on higher Tornado activity days. It can be decently entertaining if you haven't sat down and watched one yet.

Clearing skies in Matthews, NC ahead of the storms to come this afternoon, hopefully the sun doesn't stay out. Nothing more than a couple of passing showers so far today.

Pretty massive bust on the morning rain from Wadesboro west until you get closer to the foothills. The big area of moderate to heavy rain that models and mets called for that looked to basically form out of nowhere from the main area of precip to the east never materialized.

Latest NWS discussion for Jackson, MS is below. pretty good consensus accross most of the deep south the next couple of days, stormy, and lots of rain: (There's not a region specific forum for the deep south as they're included in the SE forum, but do we have any members in here from that region?) This current track of the upper low is a more favorable track for severe weather across our area. The surface low will track across Arkansas into Kentucky during this same time frame. Storms will be ongoing to our west, along a pre-frontal trough Wednesday morning and move across our area through the afternoon into the evening hours. Strong deep layer shear along with MU capes of 1000-1500 j/kg and mid level lapse rates of 7.0-7.5 c/km will be present on Wednesday. SPC has already issued an enhanced risk for most of the area and a moderate risk for areas along and south of the I-20 corridor. All modes of severe are possible including damaging wind gusts, large hail and strong tornadoes. The current timing looks like it will be from late Wednesday morning into late Wednesday evening before the front shifts east into Alabama. Heavy rainfall will continue to be a risk on Wednesday also, with total additional rainfall accumulations ranging from around 6-7 inches across the Delta to around 2-4 inches in the Pine Belt region through Wednesday evening. This heavy rainfall potential is already being advertised in our graphics and social media.

Man the 6z GFS is really trying to show a rough week next week across the deep south. CMC with some support as well.

Well, what once was looking somewhat dry, has been reversed. GFS looking pretty consistently wet over the run as opposed to a few days ago. 2-3 inches accross the board and isolated higher amounts pushing 4 to 6 including the smokies and the NE part of NC. That does include todays weather as well, and tomorrow for the eastern portions, but still pretty consistent fronts or LP's coming through.

GFS looks like it's drying out for most of us after this storm. The only areas picking up anything notable will be along the coast until the end of the run.

Was just thinking about how the models can't get it right when it comes to snow., they also can't do it with rain. Hell, 24 hours ago we (Piedmont area specifically) weren't supposed to see more than a couple light to moderate passing showers, then last night some mets were saying it may be a bit wetter than they originally thought, then this morning we've got widespread storms and moderate to heavy rain that's supposed to last a majority of the afternoon.
