Misc 2020/21 Fall and Winter Whamby Thread

[Dewpoint Dan]

I have always been pessimistic when it comes to snow chances before Christmas. 2018 was the first time in over 15 years it snowed more than an inch before Christmas here in Raleigh. The December 2017 storm was a bust here, and I recall there was a December 2008 or 2009 storm that brought Louisiana snow but nothing here. The Deep South and of course the NC mountains have seemingly had more early December snowfalls than here.

We've had much better luck in January and February historically, so I naturally am more optimistic then. Though January has been a dumpster fire the last two years and February 2017-19 all sucked

Dont forget the Christmas snow of 2010 !

Anyone staying up for the 0z runs?

If it was a true threat within 3-5 days I would but right know it’s just a wish and dream but I’ll keep following it.

That was after Christmas, I was specifically talking about before Christmas, especially early December. Early December did have the ice storm in 2002 though and the 2000 coastal which shafted RDU. Early December is kind of like June/July in the Atlantic hurricane season when it comes to winter storms: you can occasionally get something very significant but you usually don't.

I think in general the further east you are the harder it is to get early season snows. Seems like western areas fare better early in the season.

Most likely won’t see the frozen stuff but it does look chilly for a few days. Just need it to come back when winter starts.

I’ve got some work to do tonight so I should stay up for at least the GFS.

Hopefully it's worth it!
