So my high temp as of midnight Friday was 34.2. I went and looked through my weather records to see the last time I had a high below freezing and it was around mid February of 2020. Sitting at 30 now so maybe today is the day that streak is broken but it will not be if models are correct. It goes to show just how hard we’ve struggled to get true Arctic air in the south since 2018 ended. In most winters before the last 2-3 I’d easily have a handful of days below freezing and one or two with highs in the upper teens or low 20s. Also I’d get single digit lows at least once or twice and that also hasn’t happened since January 2018 I believe. I think it was January 2018 when we didn’t get above freezing for over a week and every bit of water was frozen solid.

yep here’s pictures from January 2018. A week or so later after a short warm up I got to snows in 5 days. First one was almost 4 inches and the second was about 3. Then in March I got a sloppy 2 inches of snow which was the last time I’ve come close to getting a two inch snow event.
 
It’s over for us.
Yeah I think I’m waving the white flag on snow this winter, imo I think we’re done, I know there’s March and the -NAO might come back but the MJO going ahead doesn’t look good, and the AAM looks like it might switch weak negative, honestly the subseasonal pattern looks more favorable for severe wx going forward, but we’ll find a way to stay cool with shortened wavelengths
 
Forever...I can't envision a scenario where we see accumulating snow at any point from now until the end of time. We had wall to wall blocking, well AN precip and nothing. If it can't snow with that then we are done forever.


I think Raleigh will still get snow every year. Some years, maybe a lot of it. However I can't say the same for the Midlands of South Carolina. Been 7 whole years since Columbia-Aiken-Augusta received .7 or more inches of snow or .10 ore more inches of Freezing rain. Until the the Indian/west Pacific Ocean cools(which probably will never happen due to Global warming),areas like Houston TX and San Antonio have better chance of getting winter storms than the Midlands of South Carolina from this point forward despite of having much warmer temperatures on average :(
 
Comparing this winter to last would be like going up to a hot girl last year and asking her out and she says "NO way" and this year is like having a pretty hot girl wink, smile, flirt and sit beside you at lunch and you ask her out and THEN she say no. Both are bad but give me the one who lets me know I have no chance!
