Let the pattern get established. You guys should be in the game before too long. Besides, there's no guarantee this won't amp up enough to keep most of NC out of the game.
Fingers crossed down here.
I feel for you, I really do. SC has one of the worst climates in the entire country IMO. Seems like both NC and GA get more winter weather than SC. Plus you have to deal with brutally hot and humid summers. Best of luck this winter. You deserve a good snow.
I appreciate that. Columbia imo is the hottest place in the SE during the Summer when it comes to high temps mixed with high dew points. It's just been forever it seems like down here. Feb 12th will mark 5 years since Richland or Lexington County has been under a WSW, which isn't unheard of as there has been similar streaks before, just saying though. Last Winter was brutal with the way we missed in all directions here. Hoping something special pulls together in the coming weeks.
It being closer and missing is worse than it missing by 100s of miles in my opinion.
If i lived where Robert does, I would actually rather NYC or Boston get snow than NC. Having the snow that close to you and missing out is very frustrating.
What about the mountains?
I've never been to the beaches, but I hear they are good. The mountains are definitely one of the higher points of the state (no pun intended) in my opinion next to the amount of snow they can get. Though I wouldn't go saying GA is any better in terms of the roads both in traffic and planning, which has attributed to how bad the traffic is.
Be careful what you wish for. This might be your train.Man, things are really starting to look good for the rest of this month.
All aboard the Snow Express!
That's how I felt in 2016 and 2017 in Raleigh. We ended up on the wrong side of the snow line several times when areas 30-50 miles north and west had above average snowfall.Be careful what you wish for. This might be your train.

That is how I feel. I'm not going to stress over exact totals, I'm just going to enjoy the anticipation and will take whatever additional snow I can get. Got about 8" from the early December storm which is above our winter average. Some winters we finish with less than 2 inches! Usually we don't get more than one "big dog" winter storm, but at this point I'm taking every additional winter storm as a bonus.
Don't look to the past for what could lie ahead. The models all show a favorable end of Jan.
Ouch! But true!
Yeah, I'm not bitter. I'd rather see somebody get a big storm close by than have it go poof. This one is close and looks to be a classic slop storm for my area. I hope it's sleet instead of freezing rain though. We will start to look at the soundings later tomorrow into Thursday if we don't lose it completely to the north (which I'm not expecting). Thanks for all of the maps and analysis you have been providing!
Yeah it's like a gigantic group hug over there, they need to keep the early celebratory high fives in check though..... it ain't over yet. Someone needs to remind them of the being in the bull's eye 5 days out curse lol
You are right. They have had storms miss them to their north and south in recent memory. They could end up with nothing or a cold rain at this point.
I don’t mean to be a Donnie downer but that ship has sailed. More chances closing the month and entering February though. Long ways to go
February is the Midlands Month. Let’s Speak it in existence??
Sometimes you can learn a lot by reading what other's are posting in other regions.... you know NWS forecast offices actually coordinate with surrounding offices to better inform the public, even though those offices don't cover their CWA? Funny how that works.
