Visibility down as far as my arm could reach Well you know the old saying about December fogs. A morning fog in Decembers means it is too damn warm to snow. Now we also have the new saying updated for the times in which we live. Fog in December, weatherman dismember. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted December 27, 2024 Author Share Posted December 27, 2024 Saw this morning that our trough axis ticked westward on most ensemble guidance overnight. I hate to sound dramatic but if we don’t get that worked out, we can kick the can till next year. I’m as optimistic as possible but we either score before the 20th or it’s game over. Enso is going to eventually play a role and I noticed that the MJO looks to head into high amplitude 3 and possibly 4 after our magical 8-1-2 run. February has been tough around here and I find it hard to believe winter stays in the east through that time period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about 8 inches of snow and some sleet in McDowell. Also- we haven't had a snow of over 4 inches in March since the blizzard of 93 imby. A couple 2 to 3 inch events but nothing major. March 2008 upper low was the downsloping fail of the century, March 2014 was only an inch of slop and mostly cold rain. It has to be the longest stretch of no major winter storms in February or March in history here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 Bring it on! I am cautiously optimistic for January, while still telling all my friends and family that it can no longer snow in Hickory: It’s climatologically impossible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
