Yep, now I'll be surprised if there's still any snow on the ground when we get to Blowing Rock. I was prepped for frigid air booo

No index is the end all be all. However, to claim as Bigedd09 is doing here that there’s a torch with this phase 8 is just plain wrong:

-Phase 8 started on Dec 3rd
-RDU has been MB Dec 3-7 with -8 anomaly
-The 0Z EPS has RDU at a -8 anomaly for Dec 8-17:

So, if this EPS verifies well, that would mean a MB Dec 3-17 (-8 anomaly) at RDU! Of the last 50 years, only 3 Dec 3-17 periods have been that cold (2002) or colder (2010 and 1989). So, 2025 is currently progged to be about tied with 2002 for the 3rd coldest of the last 50 years or 94 percentile cold at RDU for Dec 3-17th.

I do believe one of the issues CLT Metro - SC Upstate - Southern Foothills Triangle has, we HAVE TO HAVE a certain setup / Angle of onset ect. Sure Latitude ect plays a part …. My whole life this Mooresville/ Troutman / Catawba/ Mt Ulla area would cash in ANY CAD setup. I lived in Concord and grew up watching those kids get 6-8” while I got 3-5” ect they’d be out of school longer ect so something has changed. My point, as annoying as it is Greensboro / Durham / Richmond back to Lynchburg just have a better opportunity to score multiple ways so it seems they “luck” out more. I still remember my “Mawmaw” being mid Cig on the porch saying “Baby is it snowing in Texas and Atlanta or coming over the mountain?” If it’s coming over the mountain it’s not for you, if it’s snowing in ATL we might get a good one” and that was her forecast. Hell that and if her bones were hurting bc of arthritis those two WERE THE EE Rule lol I’m not sure there’s ANYTHING that’s a true teller in Southern Piedmont / Foothills anymore. Not whining just entertaining a thought. It’s essentially, to use sports…. We’re a team that’s gotta shoot 60% from 3 to pull an upset, triad - Richmond ect can have an off night and still pull it off most times
