Those EPS outliers weren’t by themselves. They had some support too bad it was 12 days out. It does kinda have my attention though because the GFS is kinda hinting at it. But just noise atm.

Honestly all I want is something legitimate to track, it can be a huge bust for all I care. I just need the thrill and the distraction of tracking something right now,
 
SMH, we always either have waves tilting negatively too early or too late, never on time!
When they’re on time
After taking a year and a half hiatus (aside from real-time events), finally starting to get back into the swing of continuing to build my massive winter storm archive for NC, certainly feel a little rusty not having done one of these in a while (which is also a testament to how much we have sucked lately lol)

Here's the seasonal map for the winter of 1951-52. Of course, Roxboro was the big winner east of the mountains, the only location recording a foot on the season.

1952-53 looks like a flizzard fest east of the mountains, several widespread trace events, but no measurable snow for anyone east of the far western piedmont.

As a point of comparison, here's the Midwestern Regional Climate Center map for the winter (using only raw, unadjusted, linearly interpolated data which may smooth out important mesoscale features in the seasonal field). I tried to add as much scrupulous detail and scrutiny of the raw data as possible when making the previous map.

Now that we’re beyond 1950, you should try plotting the snow accumulation so you can cross examine its snow maps w/ yours and the cli-mate one. Once you get to the 80’s you could use the land one which is fairly high resolution.

Yeah that's a real good idea, the data is obviously more reliable after 1950, and I will be able to compare my maps w/ NOHSRC after 2002.

Yea I was on the wrong side for that one unfortunately.

Just found a YouTube video from early morning. The guy doing the video said Tallapoosa county was just added to the WSW area with 1-3” area wide. That busted a little on the low side.

Heaviest snow I can remember in the after noon. We picked up 5-6” inches in two or three hours.
 
Every flake that fell during that storm stuck which was a rare and beautiful thing to see!

That was January 2014 here. As crazy as the 9-10” of December 2017, it was no where near the mayhem of the Snowjam. Trying to get to my in-laws, sliding down the highway with moderate snow falling at 18 degrees in midday is something I won’t ever forget a moment of.
