Nashville finally cashed in on a 3-4 inch event. I even took a day off work to have me a snow day. Finally scored me a win :)

If we hadnt hit 33 briefly last Saturday it would have been the 2nd longest streak here falling just short of 1983

Pretty crazy considering how warm the last few winters have been

When you think about it though snowfall here is random and infrequent. Giving an average really sets an expectation that you are going to get near that amount per year. In realty we've seen winters between 0-30 in many our lives and I'm not sure what the SD is vs average but I'm not sure if most years fall close to the historical avg at RDU. I think using percentage chance of a snow total might make more sense

Fwiw, for 1895-1954 extreme northern Harnett Co sees as much or more snow than Raleigh in 20% of winters, 80% of the time you get less snow than central Wake. Not sure what that stat is once you throw in modern winters, but it's probably not a bad rough estimate.

Not terrible. As you know it really takes a special pattern for the SE Wake to Fay area to win
