11-12 was a crappy winter along with this one so far. Those are the only bad winters since the winter of 09. 08-09 was a horrendous winter here. We even missed on that March upper level low.
In the two winters of 09-10 and 10-11 we got about 8 years worth of our average. We had several bad winters in the 90's and early 2000's. I remember those.
This winter has been terrible for everyone east of the Mississippi. We are averaging out our climo. We had a good run from 09 till about 2017. A couple epic years in there too.
Dont worry, it will snow again.
The lowest level worth looking at in our region is 850. If you're in the valleys and you have decent lift it will be snow. If it's just scattered precip then its probably just drizzle.
Good luck. You can always make an easy drive to soco gap above 4000ft or head up to cataloochee.
Hopefully we can get a well timed phase and get a nice storm out of it!
