Saturday is Feb 29, which is basically March. And anything frozen in March outside of the mtns is gravy. So yea. Getting 1 snowflake on Sat would be a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m worried about that, this pattern is bound to flip at some point soon. We’ve been too wet too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar's Head would have been in the 8-12. I would have been fairly young but I have no memory of that system. I do seem to have a vague memory of a third big snow in the 87/88 years so maybe that was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do seem to have a vague memory of a third big snow in the 87/88 years so maybe that was it? There was snow in the Upstate with this system but it was mostly cold rain literally 33 and rain. I think most of NW SC from Northern GVL, Pickens, & Oconee counties saw a dusting to as much as a foot in the highest peaks along the border. Just into NC it was a completely different story. It was a legitimate blizzard. WLOS has its tower on Mt Pisgah had over 2 feet. It was an amazing storm in the extreme western sections of WNC. Of course JAN of 87 & 88 we had 1 foot plus totals at GSP. The 88 storm was amazingly cold. As a senior that year we missed around 2 to 3 weeks of school. When we finally went back there was still snow on the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 50s and 60s starting Sunday will keep the grass growing all the way to the VA border. I already mowed once last weekend! So for most of the forum spring is springing, crickets may already be chirping and this winter is in the books. I saw snow twice and they were both low impact events. I would rate that a C+ on the type of winter I wanted to see and a solid F on what was forecasted for the triad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbart Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Well I leave near Columbia SC, cut my grass a month ago and only saw sleet once. For Columbia this winter ranks a solid B. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always remember that storm, I delivered mail in north Asheville and that was a Saturday April 4; will never forget it the day before we were wearing our postal shorts like 75. That next day I tried to deliver my mail and even with chains on I had to come back to the station there were so many cars out joy riding in the snow they had the roads blocked and I couldn't get thru on my route, every where I tried to go the road was blocked. We had around 12-14 inches the best I can remember, Heavy and Wet snow I mean. I'll never forget it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut grass mid to late march last year. I have yet to cut it this season. Only wild onions are growing in my yard. Had 3 snows, Not one was more than a dusting. A couple could've been several inches had it been colder at the surface. I give this winter an F 2012 was the only one worse... No snow at all.

NorthHillsWx Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Prolonged warmth, only 1 system to track, absolutely no front end thumps or even minimal sleet or freezing rain events, 1 advisory, constant rain and humidity... 2.75" of snow from one system that stayed on the ground for 2 days salvaged a D imo. Technically, I guess we've had worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griteater Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Without a doubt, this was one of the worst mean winter patterns of all time. In terms of temperatures...for sites with a long climo record around the southeast, Raleigh seems to be the one with the warmest ranking where so far it has been the 3rd warmest since 1887. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Very strong +AO in the stratosphere here (1hPa to 100hPa) of late. Also shown is the coupled +AO in the stratosphere and troposphere since January, and forecast to continue, which suggests a mild March is in the offing. Good by me, as spring is the only season of the 4 that I want temperatures to be above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
