Appreciate this map! Not only was this quite a memorable storm... It also set the stage for the coldest March low in KCHS history. 15.

Too bad this wasn't several degrees colder aloft and 10 degrees colder at the surface.

No problem! I’m honestly surprised it didn’t occur in 1960...
Grumble grumble grumble 
Wow these soundings are close to wet snow

All things considered today was not a bad day at all!
Today started out where yesterday ended temperature wise at about 49. As the morning progressed the temperature rose into the mid 60s before topping off at 69.3 for my high.
Had a some occasional light-moderate rain showers this morning but outside of a brief 15 minute downpour around 2:00, had no rain for the afternoon. Matter of fact part of the afternoon was generally sunny so that was nice to see. Overall, ended up with a quarter of an inch today.
looks like this brief reprieve in the rain will end soon as some light showers are moving in from Alabama and into Georgia now. Also under a flash flood watch between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday Afternoon for 2-3.5 inches of rain. I’m in the farthest north most corner of the watch though so I’ll probably see about 1-2 inches of rain in the next 48 hours. If I get that I will be at or just below 25 inches of rain for the year, that’s a lot of rain in under 3 months if you ask me.

The last storm to produce accumulating snow across all of NC & SC was February 12-13 2010. 3" of snow fell all the way down to Beaufort, SC!
There were 2 pronounced local snowfall maximums, one in the midlands of SC and the other in SE NC just NW of Wilmington.
Columbia, SC was the big winner in either North or South Carolina w/ 8.6" recorded at Columbia Metro airport.
@Webberweather53 even if it was to happen a few weeks ago, we here in the South would of still have a issue with something. Fails in Dec, Jan, Feb!
Canadian went ham at 00z..this would cripple the TN/NC border
It’ll make it’s own cold air ?
God that’s a monster

A few weeks earlier and some snow pack to the north this might've been fun.... but if's and but's were candy and nuts
Northern Wilkes onset ice?

Well, that chance of snow Thu night went right down the ?
The Arctic is even colder today. Today is the coldest day there since way back in 2013 showing what the never ending strong +AO has done!

Its interesting that the ao stayed so positive this winter. Why is the million dollar question and apparently not many can answer.

Today was just a plain dreary and rainy day.
Temperature has been constant in the low 50s all day, but has started slowly falling the last few hours.
Rain wise have had mostly light rain most of the day which so far has totaled to .48 of an inch, and some light rain is continuing now. I am starting to some slightly more moderate rain the last few hours though.
Looks like rain will pick up in intensity a tad overnight and continue until early tomorrow afternoon. Even seeing some thunderstorms over Alabama moving this way, but I doubt they will make it here with thunder at least. I would love to be surprised though, nighttime storms are my second favorite type of weather behind snow. Probably going to get another 1-1.5 inches if I were to make a guess. Luckily Friday is the start of a few days of dry weather. Thank goodness.

Just pretend it's deep in January, and your rain/snow line is 40 miles to your north still..
One heck of a warm run on the gefs, keep that look at H5 and I would bet 80+ degree highs would be likely for much of the SE near time of verification 
At this point, I’m ready to sweep any sort of “winter” that’s left under the rug, it’s time for warm days 
EPS, impressive SER 
Gotta give the northern hemisphere credit for a sustained, monotonous pattern, month after month..

I forgot how much we had here in JAN, but Feb we had over a foot and now 3 inches to start the month here. I would believe over 20 here for the year.
Believe it or not the GFS had a decent look at H5 for something in the longer range with a trailing wave

Well that winter was just the worst. My final grade is F+. Gave it a plus cause I saw snow fall a couple times so ok. But man, warm eastern ridges, western troughs and cold STJ rain all winter. Just a terrible winter I hope doesn't repeat. The last 2 years in my mind have been fairly similar with the western trough issue, but this year said hold my beer and gave us a raging +AO. I've got to hope next year we some how some way at least get more of an eastern trough/PNA component to the pattern. Something's got to give. At the very least we've got to figure out a way to get a -AO. If we can't get some decent blocking up top next year, this hobby's got to be replaced. lol.
For March bring on the warmth please. I've had quite enough of the cold rain....
