Tar Heel Snow Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 First time I can remember not even having a legitimate threat to seeing a flake. That said, yes patterns as a whole have changed, but many people on this board could use a lesson in recency bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People only remember the great winters of the past. 09-10 was the best winter here in the mtns. The winter of 08-09 was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m remembering that winter of 09-10’ correctly, I can remember driving from Greenville to Banner Elk and there was old snow and ice on the ground for the majority of the ride that had been there for weeks/months. I had been making that trip since I was a kid and can never remember another ride through the mountains like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The winter of 2009/10 had a negative NAO and active STJ. Jackpot. It snowed multiple times each month including December even in Marion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel17 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 You know it's rough when my parents up in Michigan have been on the battle lines of snow/ice/rain all winter. Terrible, terrible pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Right now it looks like the first half of Feb will be very similar to the first half of Jan. 10-15 above for many areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Raleigh usually has a snow shield for big storms, might as well extend it to novelty events as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touchet Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 You guys might as well get used to no snow and “hot” winters for the foreseeable future. At my location, we’ve maybe had three weeks of seasonable weather. The grass around the house never did die. My roses are still blooming. A couple of weeks ago, I had to put on off because the mosquitos were out biting me. Diurnal temperatures are 30+ degrees when the sun is out, and even when the 540s are well passed us, the temperature is above 32 degrees several thousand feet into the air. It’s still cold in the north though, for now. Oh well, only the future will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Mid 70's today and we are just about out of time. Embrace the suck. The painful long wait until next year begins now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Well, I’m usually pretty reluctant to throw in the towel, but looking long range doesn’t leave me too optimistic. At least I saw flakes and a very light mulch dusting last week, but this season has been miserable. The worst soggy and tepid winter in ages.

FallsLake Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Just waiting to see if this ends up being the worst winter ever for my location (for the past 30 years). So far this year I've only seen some light sleet with a few slushy snow flakes (no accumulation). 2012 is number one (worse year) right now. This was the only event: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 1999-2014. I don't really recall any year where nothing fell. We had good years and bad years. But I don't recall any thing like this year.

This was the only event: With the way this season is going, I'd take that event and cash out today. I do not think we will see measurable snow in Raleigh. Good find though as I've been here for the same timeframe, 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
