I’ve ventured over there to lurk but it’s clunky and I can’t listen to folks from Arkansas complain when every storm goes their way already. I cannot stand the other site. I’m over there too but it’s a mess. I know a lot of folks left here for there and I tested the waters but it’s like trying meth. Glad I only experimented 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StantonParkHoya Posted Thursday at 12:27 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:27 AM Raleigh also averages twice as much snow as Charlotte — albeit nominal amounts, and have had bigger snowstorms in history. So I suppose weird junkies in a way because we know what is possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKY_WX Posted Thursday at 01:04 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:04 AM The only storm in my life that I remember Charlotte proper capitalizing on was that late Feb 2004 storm. They had like 12+. It's not in a great location climo wise. No elevation like the foothills, too far west for coastals like this one, and normally always mixes to sleet and zr during Miller A's b/c it's too far south. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention it’s purely for transient nomads who live there temporarily, rendering it a soulless hellscape. But I digress. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post is pure wrong. RDU averages: 1971-2000: 6.9” 1981-2010: 5.9” 1991-2020: 5.1” From https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=rah Charlotte averages: 1971-2000: 5.2” 1981-2010: 4.2” 1991-2020: 3.5” From https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=gsp So, you’re right that RDU hasn't averaged twice as much as Charlotte. It has been more like 1.33 to 1.45 as much. But RDU averaged a bit more than you said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseWeather Posted Thursday at 02:32 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:32 AM My house is right under the 20.This snowstorm sticks out to me for al the wrong reasons so i choose to forget it… i was in 6th grade at the time and in the middle of this snowstorm my friends mom went crazy and shot him and his sister and ran from the cops for 3 days. Tragically he passed away that day so i choose to try to forget that one.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornAgain13 Posted Thursday at 02:37 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:37 AM Little burst of Snow coming in tomorrow could mean business for wherever it sets up. Most short range guidance has 1/2" - 1" in some spots. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted Thursday at 03:05 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 03:05 AM The westerners did their best to burn this place down yesterday but we persevered and ended up with a great storm. Congrats to those who saw good snows. I’ll be interested to see totals but sounds like 2-4” for most of triangle with some isolated jackpots and much more to the east. Had a blast tracking this one and, as I finish my last drink of the evening, it is still snowing. A frustrating storm but our season total is now 5.10” (0.60”, 1.30”, 3.20”) and if @GaWxis correct that gets my backyard to climo for the season (I thought it was 5.80”). It’s been a wild ride this week but I’m glad we finally pulled out a decent coastal in central NC and enjoyed the discussion on here as always 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
