On an unrelated note, as a wintry weather lover I think I’d rather live somewhere where snow is more or less impossible (peninsular Florida, etc.) than somewhere like CAE. In peninsular Florida, you just basically don’t pay attention to snow and know you have no shot at it, but in somewhere like CAE (and I suppose this applies to a lot of the Deep South, as well), you are far enough north where you have a shot but it’s so rare for those shots to convert into anything good. I think that would drive me mad. But we have plenty of Deep South winter lovers here, so perhaps I would adjust. I know even experiencing that dusting of snow in Tallahassee was more thrilling on some level than a lot of much larger snowfalls up this way, given the novelty and rarity of it. I would’ve given up a lot to experience the Gulf Coast Blizzard in Pensacola or New Orleans, for example.

The problem with Columbia is that it's fighting geography just as much as climatology. Too far inland for the coastal lows, highest mountains in the Appalachian chain perfectly in line modifying NW flow cold air advecting in during winter, downsloping, and sitting in the middle of a gigantic river valley. I'd love to know how much Lake Murray affects winter conditions in that area. We already know it causes a local maximum of sunshine hours due to suppressing cloud development in spring and summer until the lake waters turn over later in summer. How many times have we seen storms hit that lake from the west and die immediately?

I still can’t believe we actually got a frost. I saw one once as a kid (in 2010). Didn’t know it was still possible haha. No matter what February/March brings this winter is a major success for us down here in the tropics.

Any idea on what that may have done to the sugarcane crops around Lake Okeechobee?

Weirdly enough, this event made me more optimistic. It's hard for Raleigh to do worse than the way we got snow-holed last weekend. Even though it probably won't be this winter, our time for a big dog will come.
 
I think we're well aware it's going to be warm for a bit

Do we really need to be reminded of it over and over again

I mean it's warm here 8 months out of the year already... Is it really a good thing to add more time? If I wanted year round warmth I definitely wouldn't be living here

Is it not bad enough it was 80 degrees for a week at Christmas? Or this entire winter other than the last 2 weeks has been the hottest winter ever here? The snowstorm we had doesn't erase that... It's in our weather history forever

But there some on here that don't want it cold all time. It works both ways, But I've noticed since time I've been on here the ones that like to talk about warmer weather and Storms (Which is weather too). They get jumped on if they don't talk about winter and cold. God Forbid they say something about Warmth during wintertime!!

At this point you are basically talking to yourself after a majority of the board put you on ignore😂

Wait how is there a place in the mountains of far western NC that hasn’t seen 6” of snow since 2014?

ppl do not realize, far SWNC is not a snowy place. they are not a prime CAD zone, too far west for miller As, and don't get good northwest flow. it is hard to get a great snowstorm in clay/cherokee/graham

Some of those places in far SW NC get less snow than areas of the NC Piedmont. Recall that area isn’t far from Chattanooga, which averages like 3” of snow a year if I remember right? Charlotte and Raleigh average more than that and I’d imagine that’s closer to Greenville, NC’s average.
