Lee Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 what a Winter for a good chunk of the Southeast in general. I know a few sections might have fallen less than climo, maybe northeast TN and east. Ky, but for many it was above normal, thanks namely to the incredible blocking. If the long term swings back to the strong NAO regime in the perfectly timed months of Dec through Feb, like I suspect its doing, then we're all entering a new climo time for snow. Its hard to prove, since records only go back to the late 1800's, but there are cycles within cycles and who's to say that we won't soon be seeing something that even our grandparents don't recall. Our human ancestry is a blip in time, so I think the possibility is fascinating, and very real, that we might end up seeing mega Winter storms in the Southeast over a chunk of the next 25 to 30 years. Not all will be, theres always going to be the really warm and dry one I think. But the NAO 30 year cycle is a proven thing and theres a lot to it. It was a good winter for most that's for sure! As far as below climo, from what I've researched the only section i can find is portions of NE,TN and that wasn't by much just enough to be barely below average which would still be in the normal cat. actually. As far as eastern Kentucky, they were ABOVE NORMAL. Many clipper systems nailed them as well as decent upslope. The same systems is what put us above here as they weakened on their way across the Cumberlands and dropped what was left before almost completely dying out over NE,TN; thus the much lower totals there. I'll contact some friends from NWSFOJKL and see if they can give me a seasonal snow totals map of eastern,KY. Maybe we can narrow down to a T the area with the least in respect to climo.

CAD Addict Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Ended up with 64" at my apartment on the west side of Boone. Solid winter. Let's hope I don't have to add to this total... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Ended up with 64" at my apartment on the west side of Boone. Solid winter. Let's hope I don't have to add to this total... Most likely will though. Atleast flurries next 2 days, then after the big front Tuesday PM. Don't know if any of that will accumulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
