Disco-lemonade Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Great work grit! This past winter has been a delight, if all winters were like this one there would probably have been a lot less crazyness on these boards back in november Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griteater Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Nice pics Eric, and video Summey. There was a video of some folks playing ice hockey on a pond in Charlotte (in Weddington), but I can't seem to find it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Yeah this was a good winter. I ended up with ~12" total that included the 8" from the January storm. I'll still only give the winter a B+ rating because the warm February. That month was very depressing for a winter loving person like me. Definitely looking forward to next winter.

Not to bad but like many others I wish February could have been cold too. That being said March has been fun to watch. I’ve said this before but I don’t remember seeing 3 measurable snows in March before. If the last one would have been in January or February I believe it would have been much more the the 4.5 we received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonSalemArlington Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 There is no way I can grade the Triad's Winter below A-. Significant snow in early December AND late March, and who knows what the models are sniffing in about eight to nine days!! The several nights in the single digits. The frozen ponds and rivers. Nearly twice average seasonal snowfall? February is the only blemish, but with all the rest, how could it not be a magnificent winter for the Triad?

Buckethead Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I think this belongs here. French Broad River jammed full of ice at Woodfin, January 4, 2018. This was my first high country winter, and with 59" of snow and temps down to -9°, it was very memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 First half rocked with the crazy early December storm and the January storm. A- to the winter here. 1 big snow 9” and a smaller 2” snowfall in Jan. Feb sucked and March rarely delivered down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upstate Tiger Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Great pics and data guys! My first winter in NC. Moved from Easley, SC in the upstate to Cherryville, NC last year. We had 3” with the December storm and 5” with January storm plus almost a week of sub freezing temps and an ice storm on super bowl Sunday. Better than I experienced in S.C. in last few years.

cbmclean Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Two straight years where March was colder than February. This year, March was 6.5 F colder.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 As others have said, great recap and pics! When I grade a winter I give separate grades for cold and snow. For my area, had some cold with the early Dec snow, but the rest of Dec was blah, and it ended up above average. Obviously the first half of Jan was nice, but the six weeks following were AWEFUL. March had a little cold, but nothing memorable. Overall a D for cold. The Jan cold snap was great but it couldn't carry an otherwise above average temp winter with a total no additional cold till March. As for snow, I got a little below my average, so that would normally yield a C- . But, there was more potential than many years and the two snows I got were both on the edge. Then I missed a ton of other systems, including a parade of snows hitting NC in March. It was one of the most frustrating snow years ever here, with much of NC getting big seasons, and Charleston and even Gulf coastal areas getting memorable storms. I was in the CLT-GSP-CAE Burmuda Triangle of snow. D-. So cold and snow aggregate for me; "D" at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinstonSalemArlington Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Has anyone done a post mortem of who/what did the best job with winter outlooks last autumn, and what were the lessons learned in making winter outlooks from this winter?

AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 It was a pretty classic La Nina Winter, although the eastern North America Polar Vortex (-EPO) has been a trend for the last 5 years. The +NAO was more surprising I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
