Wintry Machine Learning Mauler 1/30-2/1

Likely the final map from MHX, I reported 12 7/8” at midnight which may account for that small orange area just west of Greenville. Every county in the CWA except for Dare saw at-least one 12” report.

The major indices on 1/31/26, the day of the majority of the storm, were near ideal overall:

- strong +PNA: +1.4
- strong -AO: -2.9
- weak -NAO: -0.5
- moderate -EPO: -1.0
- moderate -WPO: -0.7
- MJO: moderate phase 7 (I had thought it would be phase 8)

Updated totals map from ILM. That 16" is Tabor City. Looks like Loris came in at 14" and it drops off quickly south from there. Out here slightly further west that 14" seems reasonable but measurement was difficult.
It’s amazing how this storm over produced yet robbed so many at the same time!!
 
My traditional snow day food is a banana sandwich on white with peanut butter and Dukes mayonnaise. When I was growing up and we would be out of school for snow, my sister and I would always stay my grandma’s while our parents worked. That’s what she would make us for lunch.

My Sunday lunch staple growing up was banana and mayo. People at work look at me funny when I fix one now.

Love Banana and mayo in Meritta bread.
Banana and peanut butter is good together. But banana and mayo, and even more banana with mayo AND peanut butter...

My lte gramother fixed me banana and dukes I think mayo was cheaper and she grew up in the 20s/early 30s. lol she did butter and jelly sandwiches also. So yes I’m thinking it was the costly pb.
 
No just haven't been on the past few days. Weather is in another boring period outside of rain. I am a man of my word. Ill pay for a meal for him.
 
Looking back, I know this verified for some but 2 days out and models were spitting out almost 10 inches for my area. We got around 4-5 locally. It’s wild to think these model’s can be that far off 2 days out.

That probably equates to a miss of somewhere in the neighborhood of 0.3".

The Euro was the only one spitting those numbers out for our area. The short range models were showing 4-6 the Friday night before.

Yeah the truth is that this happens all the time, it’s just no one really cares if you get 0.4” of rain or 0.7”of rain. But with snow, that makes a huge difference.
