As will we all. While we laugh at their pain like they do us. I hate the MA and their feigned superiority.

I don’t get it , I mean they are superior to us by a lot snow wise . Let’s just consider DC the bottom of the mid Atlantic for this argument .... they average 15.4 inches of snow a year .... that’s triple roughly what Raleigh/Nashville average let alone Atlanta or Columbia ! They are also some 8 degrees colder in winter than Raleigh, 10 or so degrees colder than Atlanta , 13 degrees colder than Columbia sc , hell they are some 4 degrees colder than Richmond even. This is using DC Reagan , if I use the less uhi Dulles they average 22 inches of snow , that’s almost 2 feet .

It’s all relative, though. I’m sure some of our Deep South posters scoff at us in NC complaining about only getting 2” last winter, or whatever, and think “WELL AT LEAST YOU GOT SOME SNOW!!”. They have higher expectations and higher expectations beget a higher minimum bar to clear.

Also, NYC didn’t even get 5” of snow last year, and it was one of the least snowy years on record there. Brutal.

Last years 2.5 inches was on the heels of 2 back to back above average snowfall years at RDU.

I agree , from the time I spent there lurking it’s horrible . They are weenies on steroids , they think 90 inches a year is their normal . To be fair to them , while no where near the level it I over there I have seen that kind of sentiment reflected here . While not 90 inches , a lot of people seem to think double digit are more normal lol. I think I’m pretty reasonable with my expectations , one nice 3-4 inch event then maybe a couple few dusting to an inch low level events . That’s pretty much the average .

Like I said yesterday pain is coming watching what happens up in the Mid Atlantic. All we can do is hope it holds long enough for us. Those weenies up there get under my skin so bad I sometimes I wish the SER was here so they'd fail too.

I'm moving to that region in late January/early February, so I'm sure that means it'll dump snow on the Carolinas right after I'm gone

Yep. I'd be happy just to get a good storm every year and get average snow. But believe it or not double digit years used to be fairly common in GSP and CLT. And probably RDU even though I haven't looked. But those days are gone.

Yeah they used to be more common 1960-1990 but y’all are using that as if it was the baseline normal , using an even longer time frame shows that the 1960s-1990s were highly anomalous , go back further and things were warmer just like today . It’s not like we were always that snowy and cold then boom global warming came and changed that.... no we had a very cold period for 30 years relative to the previous 90 that was then followed by the milder period of today.
