This is the easiest part of the country to forecast winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Everything plantwise ask flower wise are leafing out and flowering, due to this sorry, snowless, warm winter! How many winters can we have in a row where 2/3 or 3/3 months are above normal?? Anywho, the low 20s will probably verify Tuesday night, just to kill all the emerging vegetation, flowers, and decimate the peach crop! Best.Winter.Ever!

Beyond done with it You live in NW SC, man. Here are the annual (and monthly -- October to May) snowfall totals for the past 15 years or so at GSP: Your 4.3-inch season total this year is only 0.4 inches less than normal. It's also more than 16 of the years listed here. I think it's been a pretty normal year for you as far as totals go. (I also figure you don't actually live at the airport -- Boiling Springs is more north and east of there -- so your totals will vary a bit, but this is the best I can do.) We all want more snow, myself included. (Spring, stay away!) I think the extra bitterness and despair right now is due to the big storm that was had in December. Everyone believed that we were setting up for an epic winter with that early storm. It just hasn't materialized that way, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rant was focused mostly on the people who complain about not getting snow but average 20 inches per year! They don't know how good they have it! And yes the hype this winter had expectations high. I was hoping for a double digit year. Would be the 1st since 93. And double digit years used to occur every three years or so up until then. That was the good ole days!

So those numbers are skewed If you are south of I-85, then you should expect even less snow than what has been reported at GSP. So, again, this year isn't too different from normal. Still disappointing, but not completely aberrant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjoaquin Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Funny you post that Sn Lover. I was looking at Sierra at Tahoe and the summit has had 444 inches of snow this season. I am sure there are higher totals, but that is a big number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Yeah the cold has been centered too far West all season. The Midwest to West coast has had an awesome winter, but the cold has not made it East of the Great Lakes and south of the Mason Dixon. Our little SE corner was completely left out of the cold and fun this year and I am hating it!. The potential was there and the cold has been there, but we could never get the jet stream to push farther East and the same areas have gotten the fun over and over, with more to come next week. Just saw that LA failed to reach 70 in Feb for the first time in 132 years! It is becoming more and more clear that if those of us outside the mountains and south of I-40 want to experience any more than a random inch or two of slush we'll have to move. The 60s, 70s, and 80s winters, like the ones that brought GSP double digit totals 11 out of 24 years from 59/60 to 82/83, then two more in 86/87 and 87/88, and even the March 93 and 95/96 winters are long, long gone; and I'm not sure we'll ever see anything like those again. CAE doesn't have a monthly snowfall totals chart on their site like GSP does but by next winter their measurable snow drought will be nearly 6 years. I know CAE has never been a ski area but six years without measurable snowfall has to be a record there I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The one good thing about the predominant trough in the west, is the fact that they're getting lots of snow across most of the western states mountain ranges (^^as you guys are stating). This is where the western folks get most of their yearly water supply. So in short, look for good deals this upcoming year on vegetables, fruits, and nuts. **bad side is there could be a larger burn season coming up this fall with all the spring growth.

What we needed was for the Sun night/Mon system low to track further South; that is the storm with the moisture. But the snow is in Kentucky and the Virginias, with the low track through SC. Needed it 300 miles further south, but that's been the story ALL winter. The Tues system isn't even close and has no moisture with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After they received 16 inches in Feb 73 they didn't get anymore until they received 5.5 inches 6 years later in Feb 79. Then they got 3.5 Jan 2003 and didn't get anymore until 8.9 in Feb 2010. 7 years later!!! And there are multiple 4 and 5 year streaks back to 1960. Their snowfall pattern is roughly the same. Nobody can argue that the upstate has really fallen off since 93 or so though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, didn't realize they had that many big gaps; so for the most part their average really is just one system every few years. Yeah for the upstate it's getting harder and harder and warmer and warmer. Who knows, we may be headed for CAE winters pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaryWx Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Folks, about time for me to sign off for winter 2018-19. It's been low on the delivery scale. Congrats to those that got snow today and for our bit in early December. Hopefully next winter is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yep it is time to fold up the tent and go through the long wait to next winter. In the meantime it is time to turn toward severe season and see how that pans out. It isn't surprising to me that the December event was on the only one. In NC outside the mountains it is very difficult to get more than 1 solid storm a season, and even that is never guaranteed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
