lookingnorth Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If you need more evidence for how bad this winter has been, here are the snow totals for recent winters through January 20 at KRDU: 5.4 2.3 10.8 3.5 3.0 0.7 T 1.0 0.5 3.9 0.1 8.6 0.0 0.8 T T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I know I've learned my lesson. If they are forecasting a cold ( or warm ) winter next year, I will ignore it. It's pointless to even issue long range forecasts if they are going to end up the complete opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 ........This winter is quickly going down the drain. Winter already went down the drain, I cleaned the drain, and I am now ready for spring rains. The only thing frozen about the winter of 2014 is a freakin Disney film. I for one am ready to "Let it goooo....", pull the boat out, plant some grass seed and kick back in a summer full of 70 degree nights. Of course with our weather luck right now those 70 degree evenings will be parked over Siberia while we sweat away to nothing in 90 degree temps and high humidity. This sucks......

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You know you live in a tropical climate when you are sunbathing on Jan 20. With the sun beating down on me, it feels like 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGA WINTER Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Cmon doc. Just make us happy. Throw us a bone! Edit: just kidding. Doc's aren't supposed to make you happy. Oh well. Maybe we will have a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Superjames! I apologize for what I said about the NAVGEM the other day. Its seems to be leading the way with this storm for Friday because no other model was showing at first what it was along. Now they have come towards the NAVGEM. New King anyone??? or can we say a broken clock is right twice a day if its hands are still in the clock?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 How many times have we seen a system that is modeled to be way too suppressed end up being so far north that it rains in DC???!!! Two things that you can never be confident of in the SE: 1) the track of low pressures 2) the amount of cold air at any or all layers of the atmosphere.

It's like that N trend that you guys speak of always seems to happen. I thought it was folks just wish casting it N and hoping that would happen, but now it seems that as the timeframe gets closer, the models bring it further and further N. This also happened with the January 28th storm last year, which pissed me off because I got screwed and you guys got my 5-6 inches of snow I was expecting.

superjames1992 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'll take the GFS instead with the clipper.... The Euro has a bias of being too far north with clippers at this range or something like that. I'll go with that. We're gonna get rocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm absolutely amazed at the amount of people (on here, on TV) who are so gung-ho about Monday just because the GFS shows a clipper that goes across the Southern Appalachians.I mean...we have a classic Miller-A low that is going to not create any snow in the climatological peak of winter because there is zero cold air in place...yet, something that traditionally does little to nothing for NC is getting so much play because the cold is in place. This winter has been a total disaster...from the very deceitful teleconnections (NAO, AO, PNA, EPO) to the lack to getting the southern stream to cooperate when needed...this has become a complete dumpster fire. Wake me the hell up when spring arrives, I'm done! We've lost another one! Load em up Pack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The Euro actually drops T-2" from RDU up into NE NC. Not as bad as I was expecting. EDIT: Except it's 40 degrees at the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I really hope there's snow somewhere in TN or NC ( or hopefully here) between Jan 29-Feb 6. I will be on vacation and would love to drive somewhere to see some snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Beautiful day! Been fighting a bad cold the last couple of days and really enjoying just sitting outside.

Webberweather53 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 In my 15+ years in the profession, I have never heard +5F above normal termed "seasonable". Seasonable and normal are nearly interchangeable terms, 5 degrees above normal (even for a 5 day average) is hardly much of an anomaly & is commonly observed at some point in every season, even outside of winter... At those temperatures, you're not roasting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
