Touchet Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 17 hours ago, Waiting on snow said: I'd give this winter a C- so far if it ends like this and not another flake falls. Not making light of how awful this year has been. It's just hard to give any lower than a C when you actually reached average snowfall. But jeez has this winter sucked for threats. No tracking at all outside December and no real cold air. I haven't been below 21 the whole winter imby. Not sure about the airports at GSP and CLT but that never happened even when I lived in CAE for 5 years. To call this winter a suck fest is being generous. If we average your C with the entire southeast, the overal score would be an F. You guys getting a big snow once during the winter for your little area is a drop in the bucket. Grass doesn’t even stay dead all winter anymore. I think maybe, where I’m at, it got below freezing maybe 7 days this winter. Absolutely absurd. If we took out the outliers (cause now that’s what they are), we would see this winter absolutely baked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Right now it is a solid D for me but with the warmth of this week, it will probably drop to an F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For southeast Tennessee, this winter is when the cat misses with the turd and sprays pee all over the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Zippo. Got plastered December 17. I guess this is the balance. I can see a few more blanks before another decent score. I sure hope we get another storm. All I ask for is one per year. I’m not greedy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiting on snow Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Its becoming clear as bleak as the LR looks that it's over for us barring a late season miracle. And I'm ok with that. After this week I'll have spring fever. However something is going on with Feb lately. I would say early spring but March and April are colder than Feb lately. So I guess it could be a bad run of luck. But this image from Brad P puts into perspective how Feb isn't exactly Fab Feb anymore. Around half of the record highs for Feb have occurred this decade. Now this year is looking equally shitty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Well it's Feb 5th and I have clouds rolling in overhead. I wonder if I might get some frozen precipitation? Oh wait, never mind, it's 72 degrees! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certainly enjoying it. Last year in this neck of the woods the warm week in February was pretty much it for any extended warm weather until May. Come mid-April when the wind is gusting to 40 mph and the snow flurries flying I will be wishing for February weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scwxguy Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I put the pre-emergent down this morning and kicked on the irrigation. My PWS hit 73 Monday, 84 yesterday. Already at 80 again today and at least two more days on tap of this. Soil temp is above 55°. It's time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting on snow Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Charlotte only dropped to 64 last night! Highest minimum ever for Feb. And to do it the first week of Feb! Good times folks. The winter that keeps on giving. 2019 already following the footsteps of the last few years. Smdh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarmNose Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Worst winter ever. I’ve seen some bad ones, but this takes the cake. Its hot today even by spring standards. We suck at snow. It will never snow again. The sky is falling. Magnetic north is shifting the wrong direction. We might as well live in South Florida. Winter is gone and never coming back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely going to go down as the worst winter ever in my book, unless we get one of those Marches of yore to show up. Most certainly, the expectations for this winter make it all the worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole decade has sucked. I've never doubted global warming but was skeptical of rate of warming predicted. Not so much now as something is definitely off this decade. The whole decade is warm but since 2015 it has accelerated faster than I ever thought. I figured I'd never live to see the day where snow is a thing of the past. Now I'm not so sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be upon us. A few well timed hours of sleet and mix in early december kept this form being a complete blank, and another 2011-2012. At GSP last 3 Febs: Feb 2017: +8.2, only 6 readings below 32, lowest 26. 12 days above 70 with a high of 81! Feb 2018: +7.9, only 6 readings below 32, lowest 22. 8 days above 70 with 2 reaching 80 and 81! Feb 2019: (Through first 7 days) +12.4, only 2 readings below 32, lowest 28. 3 days over 70 with high of 77! Feb just keeps getting worse and worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan1234 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Calling off winter 7 days into February is a bit ridiculous and premature. No,the pattern doesn’t bode well in the next week or so. But given how poorly models have handled winter thus far, I’m not giving them much credibility. We’ve had snow well into February and March. So, quit whining about something that could very well change within a few weeks.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we luck out and get a late season miracle, it won't change the fact of how temps are going up and up every year and our window of opportunity gets shorter and shorter every year. I'd say we spend at least a month of met winter with spring temps every year. Maybe not a month consecutive of spring temps but overall the warmth overwhelms the cold.
