We had good years and bad years. But I don't recall any thing like this year. Yeah this is terrible. What gets me is the PNA, AO, and NAO have all been bad. AO might get to record positive readings for the winter. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/teleconnections.shtml I guess we can be happy for the folks out west. Plenty of mountain snows to give them good runoff during the growing season. Cheap produce for us this summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Yep, it will be interesting (in a bad way) to see if we get blanked. **only thing I keep thinking about is with a warm winter, do we flip to a cold spring. If so, we could score an overnight event in March that at least gives an accumulating event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Pacific would relax some probably allow a -nao to develop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I almost don't even want a March novelty, nighttime, precipitation rate-dependent, grass-only, isolated, gone in 4 hours event to ruin the streak and give some credence to there having actually been a winter this year. Go big or go home, we're going for a full-season blanking on measurable snow! Gotta set the bar at the bottom so we won't be surprised when it happens again.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of my criteria for a good winter storm is how it affects the roads (or power lines). Years back we had a <1" (mid-day) event that stuck right to the roads and caused havoc. I consider that a great event. Other times we received >3" but it never stuck to the roads (forgettable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unexpected clipper where it was in the 20's, snow stuck instantly to everything, all schools and businesses let out, and the city was gridlocked. That was a major storm, regardless of accumulation. It was crazy to see Greg Fischel on air as it became apparent the band of snow was holding together and going to cause issues as it moved in, after advertising nothing but a chance of a flurry that morning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpiemaniac Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I’m really not too eager to see 3 to 5 inches of rain on top of already soggy soil. Around our back patio, we have four downspouts that have outlets running under the landscaping. I spent yesterday cleaning out three of them in preparation for this week’s Noahic event, but I’ll be darned if I can’t find the fourth one. It’s covered under mulch and soil and I’ve poked a prodded everywhere with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 In my former home for a few years (Burlington, VT) they are expecting 17 inches over the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider yourself lucky Mack. Tornadoes are just nasty, and 3 inches of rain is plenty. I came just an eyelash of getting a flooded finished basement, way too close for comfort.

NorthHillsWx Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 ATL, N GA, and Parts of the upstate may hit climo with this storm. That wouldn't even be fair looking at the yearly stats years from now Meanwhile I was happy to see graupel yesterday for 5 min. I wish I could find another cliff I've jumped off every one available so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
