Snowless in Carrollton Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Well at least you wouldn't be moving to GA where snow is pretty much non-existant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Well at least you wouldn't be moving to GA where snow is pretty much non-existant.Why would anybody want to move to where it never rains, snows, and the NWS there always gets the forecast wrong?? I gues you could see Lil Wayne?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingnorth Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Well, here's a list of snowfall at RDU since 1980 (where 1980=1979-80, 1981=1980-81, etc.). What do you think? Also, this link has even more climate data: http://w2.weather.gov/climate/index.php?wfo=rah 1980 18.3 1981 5.7 1982 6.6 1983 11.8 1984 6.9 1985 4.1 1986 0.9 1987 10.8 1988 7.9 1989 12.0 1990 2.7 1991 T 1992 T 1993 2.5 1994 4.4 1995 2.2 1996 14.6 1997 0.4 1998 2.4 1999 T 2000 25.8 2001 2.6 2002 10.8 2003 7.4 2004 14.9 2005 0.9 2006 T 2007 1.6 2008 0.5 2009 7.1 2010 8.0 2011 9.0 2012 0.9 2013 1.7 2014 5.8 2015 7.9 2016 1.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DopplerWx Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Dude, don't. I moved here from Charleston thinking I would be in heaven and all I got this year was a crap sleet storm. You won't be able to handle the winter model watching despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be able to handle the winter model watching despair. Somebody must have really misinformed you about the amount of snow the Eastern Piedmont receives on average every winter.

FallsLake Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Problem with our area is we always seem to be in the game to get good winter storms; but we end up losing a lot of those games. How many times have we been in the crosshairs of a storm at days 7 to 9 (or less) to then have it shift in one direction or the other. One things for sure, we always seem to have a lot of tracking opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwlee7 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 We must have jackpotted what ten or twelve times 10 days out this year only to have our hopes dashed by the warm nose or some other snow killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One things for sure, we always seem to have a lot of tracking opportunities. This seems to be true. We have almost as many tracking opportunities as our friends in the Mid-Atlantic, but we just tend to do worse with them than those further north. Of course, a lot of that is seeing models slam the Mid-Atlantic and then us being on the southern end of the envelope where a south trend would put us in the game, which usually doesn't happen, but is possible enough to give many of us hope (and, to be fair, sometimes it does trend south). Well, that was when I lived in NC. Now that I am in FL, I should have roughly 0 tracking opportunities per winter. Maybe 1 in a good winter, which will almost never pan out. I wish I had the flexibility to make big life decisions based on watching snow. I know, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQPublic Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 You'll like it here. I border a western county so being the first to see flakes in Wake County is fun. This area is also quite built up now and the options for shopping/leisure are plenty. Schools are the best in 27519 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Im enjoying my first weeks down here in NC. It has been great, awesome people, food is fantastic. even the weather has been comfortable minus a few days in the mid 90's, it is a lot like our old hood Jay back in Nova.
