Tacoma Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 F for Asheville. Need I say more? Extra credit would be a snowstorm before spring is here. Depending on the amount of snow would be the final grade. I know winter is not over here from years past, but running out of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 F. This winter was equally as bad here as the last one. Sure there were more threats, but none panned out and we finished the season with a trace of snow at KCHA. EDIT: I need to revise this to a D. Apparently KCHA did record 0.3 inches of snow this season. No idea when that occured. Probably that Saturday system 3-4 weeks ago when I managed to measure about 0.25.

jburns Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thank you! I've lurked here for a while and it seems like there are a lot of interesting, knowledgeable folks around.

WilkesboroDude Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What I have learned is 1 year of misery doesn't mean you won't have 2 in a row. And that 2 years of misery doesn't mean you won't have 3 in a row. inb4 we listen to above normal snowfall forecasts with epic historical pattern blizzard for every storm mega blocking...

jburns Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What I have learned is 1 year of misery doesn't mean you won't have 2 in a row. I learned that going to find winter is much more productive than waiting for it to find you. I learned that Snow Packed Chicken is a rare delicacy. I learned that Weather's wife must be a beautiful woman, because their son didn't get his good looks from Weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Larry Cosgrove came out with his Winter Outlook....it looked pretty good for the south. In red is the track he feels most storms will take this winter. For the south he had Dec/Feb colder with Jan average and March warmer. I agree with these tracks. Thanks for posting your outlook Allen! That's been the pattern all year, why should it change? I agree with the path's LC has posted. I do believe the upstate of SC and western(and northern) NC will see a return to a normal to slightly above normal winter precip. I think the cutoff will be from RDU/Charl/ATL and south. Not that I don't think anyone south has a chance of seeing any winter precip at all, but I'm not going to hold my breath for it to happen. I give this winter a C- Only because I had a brief flizzard and recorded a T of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 D+. Had a couple of dustings and a trace or two.... Last year was an F, only saw about 7 flakes.Not sure why an fits better there but it does lol..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudcrash619 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I forgot about this forum for like 6 months. Anyways, I give the winter an F. It was probably worse than last winter. 0.7 for 12-13 and 1.5 for 11-12. Got a dusting of snow on Christmas Day while just 80 miles west of me in Arkansas had a blizzard, a freezing rain event in January, and a few snow showers last weekend. Also the second winter in a row not falling into the teens (which is the new record.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJ Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Give it a D-. Bad news is that as long as we maintain a cold PDO and a warm AMO, don't look for a lot of changes in the next 3-5 years. The 1950's give a good example of the type winters we are likely to have with an occassional cold one surrounded by a bunch of warm ones with little snow in the SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psalm 148:8 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 F- This winter had so much potential(on the models) and every chance fizzled......This winter was worse than last to me......this winter showed false hope......at least last winter we couldn't even buy a GFS fantasy storm.....

buckeyefan1 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Lol do you think LC did good? I think not. I posted that because I agreed with his tracks and my response (below) on how I thought winter would be. This explains the letter grade I gave this winter.

Last year was an F, only saw about 7 flakes.Not sure why an fits better there but it does lol..... It's because to say the letter "F", you have to begin with a vowel sound of "E". On another note - I don't get how some are quipping that this winter was worse than last. Doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxictwister00 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Precipitation Last Winter: D+ (saw about a trace of snow and a couple of flurry days) This Winter (so far): F (Haven't seen one flake or sleet pellet yet) Temperature Last Winter: D This Winter (so far): D Upgrading my precip grade to a D+ since I had two days of a trace of snow this month which is actually twice as better than last winter where we only had one.
