Misc Winter 22-23 Whamby and Banter Thread Part 2

Falls in the novelty category because most of it melted by noon, in Charlotte at least, but this was a nice little Saturday morning event in March 2017 (map courtesy of Webb's site). No map for South Carolina but looks like Greenville reported 0.5 inches that day according to the NWS with more down towards the coast. Also had quite a few trace events in 2018 in mid-late March, and of course the freak snow in Union County on April 2, 2019.

That’s why snow is usually trash after february 20th. I’ve never seen one hang around any period of time

Definitely been the case for the past decade or so. The best snow I've experienced in my life was on February 26, 2004. 20" will stay on the ground a few days, even if it's 60 degrees lol.

That one melted pretty quick in Gastonia as I recall. It was pretty much gone in a day and a half. 3/1/09 had a bit more staying power.

Yeah I remember school in CMS was only out a couple days. It snowed on Thursday and I had a math competition at UNCC that Saturday that didn't end up cancelling.

I have zero confidence in any type of winter weather after about February 21. Even during a good year. It’s hard to hang your hat on noteworthy spring climo winter weather events.

I would tend to agree, post Feb 15 is the beginning of spring lately. However, the unicorn of the strat warming is hanging out there so I guess there's a 1% chance still. Plus I have another Boone trip March 1 weekend, so I track.
 
Last April 18...LOL Up to 6 inches above 1500'. Previous home 20 miles NNW of Winchester. About 1100'.

It’s pretty comical. No one lower then 3k in the southeast should be a snow snob, if they are, they either need to move or find a new hobby.

As long as the I-95 corridor gets jobbed, I am fine with this.

This 100% the GFS still blanked I95 until way out in fantasy land. I'd love to see DC to NYC finish the year with less than an inch of snow. I know how unlikely that is though. Their window is a lot longer than ours.
 
Iv went ahead and accepted that there will be no winter weather in my neck of the woods this year. And I guess that’s ok since I got some last year. On to next winter.

I live 2 hours pretty much north of you in NC and haven't seen no snow either so don't feel to bad. I know where your coming from though.

Norther parts of Upstate, SC had snow cover nearly every day of the month from start to finish in March 1960. One day it'll happen again!

Just like 1988 ish for a repeat!
 
What's crazy is that March 1960 had two separate snows in my my backyard that each had higher accumulations than I've experienced in the last 30 years I've been here.
 
Can we please just have one system to track and make a thread on
 
Ha ha we suck. After having a cold air mass in place, high pressures locked to the north, climatological the best time of the year, and a near perfect storm track........ we rain.

6z GFS day 10:

Of course things can/will change, but definitely discouraging to see an outcome like this..
 
I guess I wasn't fair, it did spit out some snow along the storms edge:

So maybe this can be seen as a good signal this far out.
