Solak Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The only sure way to get the cold air all y'all are begging is for all the guys (girls, too, if they're begging for snow), to go out this coming week and get a major haircut. MAJOR!!!! The kind that leaves your ears and neck exposed to the elements, even when wearing a cap or hoodie or your favorite blankie My last cut was in late October, and, well, you know how cold it got shortly after that. Our coldest temps of the fall/winter so far. Therefore, haircuts = cold weather.No haircuts = SE Ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsudweather Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I can't help but sit back, read these post and LMAO! Still three whole months of winter left for the SE Jan-Mar, and people thinks winter is already over! When in reality we all know our BEST months for winter storms around here are Feb and Mar. Just because we do not have snow in Dec or first half of Jan doesn't mean we will not have a snowy winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, can't feel bad about Mauna Kea and Manua Loa getting a White Christmas. I bet they average a lot more snow than any of us on this board aside from maybe SnoJoe do. Of course, you can't really live there unless you want to live at the observatory! Nice treeless landscape, too. I've heard of it rarely snowing on Maui's highest peak, too. The sun angle must suck at that latitude, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Next SE meetup on Manua Kea!!! It would be a cool place to live aside from the rocky landscape and lack of any significant vegetation. I guess it'd be cool to ski in the morning, then swim in the ocean a couple hours later. I am having a hard time finding out how much snowfall they average, but it seems that they usually have snowcover for the majority of the winter months.

superjames1992 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Not so you this is true, some of our best snows in sc upstate has been in Mar. Yes, but January and February still beat out March, on average. https://www.sercc.com/climateinfo/historical/avgsnowfall.html Most of the Southeast does March snow relatively well, though. I believe MBY actually beats out D.C.'s average in March, despite averaging about half the seasonal snowfall they do (and we average significantly less in every other month).

superjames1992 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 We're discussing average snowfall in Hawaii for Pete's sake. I dunno. I guess we could discuss the drizzle storm in a few days. Well still my point is regardless winter will NOT be over until the end of march. Not next week like half the people on here think. I agree as far as that is concerned. The snow season certainly doesn't end until mid-March and there are a few examples of late March storms (1981, 1983, etc.) and some early April ones (1915, 1983). Raleigh record a trace of snow on May 2, 1939, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 When there are two pages of new posts in banter but only a few posts in the pattern thread, I don't even have to look at the models. The BAI -- Banter Advance Index. Good call Jon. When the Banter thread grows at a higher rate than the Pattern or Storm thread, the BAI increases. The greater the delta of Banter posts over Pattern posts, the higher the BAI. High BAI values have an extremely strong correlation to immediate or forecast mild and/or snowless conditions. The opposite correlation also holds true: Low BAI correlates to immediate or forecast cold and/or snowy conditions. The BAI is a subset of the PII (Posting Intensity Index). Generally, a high PII correlates to immediate or forecast cold and/or snowy conditions and vice versa. However, if the BAI is extreme, it can skew the PII, resulting in an uncertain signal.

metalicwx366 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Y'all remember when December started faltering , with a non cold and snowy look, the forecasters were trying to cover their buts with comments like"December was always a wildcard month, could go either way!"? Looks like we have added two more wildcard months: Jan and Feb!! Could go either way!! SMDH! Winter forecast epic fail Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonysc Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Franklin, we don't fight sun angle (around these parts ) until after Feb 15 and honestly no stinking sun angle slows us down in the SE since we get winter later most of the time any way. Franklin, we don't fight sun angle (around these parts ) until after Feb 15 and honestly no stinking sun angle slows us down in the SE since we get winter later most of the time any way. Exactly.... I mean what was the angle of the sun on November 1st? And what were the ground temps considering it was up to around 80 degrees a few days before, and we still got 3 inches of snow in Greenville. It snowed heavy for 3 or 4 hours so the sun angle and ground temps don't worry me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Sun angle will scorch the snowflakes before they can reach the ground. Sun angle is some serious business after jan 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Dec and Jan aren't really good months for snow anyway in the south right. February is our big snow month.Oh you know winter is focked when post like this start showing up. I'm pretty sure January is the snowiest months for the south. Then when February comes, people will start saying March is the snowiest month and start bringing up superstorms and legendary 1960 2009 TUTT lows.
