WilkesboroDude Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 We have plenty of more winters guys...esp. for me. The winter of 2066 could be a big one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnc910 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Well it looks like this storm has fizzled out for nc.. atleast I got to see some ice and snow this year unlike last year. I'm originally from mississippi so when the snow word come up I'm like a little kid again. I know we haven't had a good winter since. 2010 and 2011 maybe that year mother threw us a bone. I just hope this winter and last winter isn't a sign of many more mild winters to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWERSTROKE Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I would go crazy for another Ivan. Thank God I missed Hugo I would die without power that long. I nearly die when a summer storm knocks out power for a few hours. Boy u wouldnt survive out in the woods. Thats ashame. You need to lose it for about a week so you can learn how to survive. I lost for 8:days during hugo and 7 days from an ice storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 As I said in the other thread I tried to warn those hanging on for dear life. It was a year full of fizzling potential and sustained cold that never truly arrived (although certainly the latter half saw much more in the way of cooler weather). It always seemed to be just 10 days away . Either way it sucked and 2 failed winters back to back is a bitter pill to swallow. In my own case I saw awesome snows on the trip to VT and the thundersnow near GSO on my 1/17 chase so I can't complain nearly as much as many in the region.

GaffneyPeach Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 No complaints here, either. I saw one beautiful snowfall and I guess, things being as they are, it was a lot more than some. Still room for a surprise but I'm really feeling the need for some warm weather. With GSP calling for storms Tuesday night...it's looking like Spring anyway.

packbacker Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 There were two days the Euro was showing a storm instead of just one. I will say this, we are 48-60 hours out and GGEM/UK/Euro all show snow, although light, for northern part of central NC as of the latest 0z runs. I fully expect those models to cave to the GFS at 12z today and give us nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Well I have to say I feel lucky to get the few minor event we did get this year. The two inches of snow in January and then the ice event (snow/sleet/freezing rain) pushed this winter from crappy (F) to below average (D+). I definitly feel we missed some good opportunities this winter, especially during the last month. One thing we really did not see was a long term cold period. I saw my pond freeze over just once (two days during the ice event), and ussually see if frozen over for at least two weeks of the year. Let us hope next year we can get more cold and then more winter storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazdaddy Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Well... try as we may we couldn't get winter 2013 to come to us,so I'm going to go find it before it's gone for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Just a very odd winter. Many, many signs pointing to good things but it just never came together. I think the reason that I learned was the dominant northern stream. It just doesn't seem like anything from the northern stream does us any good. I appreciate all the information I've learned and folks that have taken time to answer my questions. Next year I'll be all over asking about "does the STJ look active"??? If at least a part of storm ain't coming from the baja, across texas and up, it's usually a non-event it seems. I enjoyed having the nice 35 minute blizzard in CLT. But overall, the atmosphere owes me about 8 more inches. Next year we'll see. Let's hope for a Nino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The time we spend every winter looking at computer models.. we should start working on manipulating the weather. I think we'd be much better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The nice thing about spring through fall is the temps are warmer and you can still have severe weather and hurricanes to track. So, if there is nothing exciting going on, at least you can enjoy the nice weather and do things outside. The last two winters have really made me feel down about winter. If there isn't any snow around to get excited about, it's just miserable and boring. The bad thing is when we actually did have severe weather around here last year the board was pretty dead. I guess most only come around during winter and snow threats. But if winters are going to continue like they have been the past two years, it might be more fun and less frustrating to come on when there is severe weather and hurricanes to track. That seems to be a lot easier to predict here than snow, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All websites (twc, accu, all these forums, stormvista, etc) all see a steep decline in traffic after Winter. Hopefully hurricane season will be good on here. Nice thing about that, is it's generally in the main threads so everyone can say what they think about it...and i love reading Phil's thoughts!

Bevo Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Didn't North Korea say they could do it?? Probably. But then, they also believe they can blanket Washington State with paratroopers and take over. That's what I learned from the new Red Dawn anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Is it over yet? Yes, but now we get to watch DT try and get out of this mess. The GFS is clearly going to be the winner, RIC is going to get skunked and this is going to be a DC-BWI-PHL-NY-BOS blizzard. I am so glad we have been out of this for a few days now because this would be a crushing way to end winter for the Richmond folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 If this trends anymore NW, like 25 miles the DC folks are going to have major mixing issues, right now on the GFS it ticked NW a hair and now they are very borderline to major mixing. Of course it's DC I am sure it will tick back SE for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfan98 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It makes me sick losing a storm to the north like this. I get burned by it every year. You would think I would learn! Well at least someone is going to get pounded. I will have to figure out which channel is TWC on my satellite again to watch Cantore freak out in the Thundersnow!
