I don't see how it is harder to get snow here in central NC than it is in places further south like Texas and Alabama. I guess we are too far south and too far east. Our average continues to go lower and lower, though. The climate for snow here just sucks now, even if we're in a pattern that usually produced in the past. It just doesn't matter anymore. We are lucky to get one marginal snowstorm each winter lately. Sometimes we might get one big one, but usually it's one marginal storm or nothing at all. Getting a couple of big ones or even more than one or two marginal ones seems impossible.

On March 3 we will take the 2nd place for longest streak. On June 6 we will surpass the longest streak and proceed to blow the record out of the water.
Interestingly, our streak of days without 0.1" is longer than the 7th longest streak without 1". We can't even get a tenth of what we used to.

Monumental May will keep that from happening
 
@Brent enjoy it man. This is a once in a lifetime period of weather for you guys. Mother Nature will not be so kind to you after this one. She’s got a long memory and can be petty at times. Just look what’s happening to us Carolina folks. She’ll have to give us something here before long though. If not, I’m going to burn old tires nonstop in my fire pit for the rest of the month to choke her out.

I mean Brick does have a good point. Due to the Indian and Pacific Oceans being very warm, the MJO phase are almost always horrible for the eastern SE to get snow or cold for that matter these days. It's a shame that Houston TX and even Galveston will get more winter precipitation in one system than what Columbia got in the last 7 years combined. Patterns that used to produced snow or Ice for the I-20 Corridor areas in SC just doesn't anymore. When was the last time that anyone in eastern SE outside of the Mountains/near the mountains gotten a winter storm where the temperatures weren't marginal? I have been seeing a trend with our post 2015 winters and well to say the least, it's ugly and now it's a getting to a point where even I-10 corridor areas in SE Texas have a better chance for wintery weather than the I-20 corridor areas in SC and Dallas TX/Jackson MS is doing better winter weather wise than Raleigh or Virginia Beach.

Keep in mind in recent winters, and in general, central NC averages significantly more snowfall than anywhere in Alabama or the DFW area, etc. Just some years you take the L. We’ve had the CAE area beat us in snowfall in years, too, but over the long run that won’t be the case.

Oh wait, sorry this is the Whamby thread, it’s never going to snow again, it’s over for us, and our climate will be like that of Orlando’s in a couple decades after the Arctic melts and Greenland’s ice sheet collapses into the sea.

Columbia has had accumulating snow 4 times (3 times in '14 and once in '17) in the past 7 years. I doubt Houston and Galveston does better in one day than Columbia re: the past 7 years.
