February 2011 was a torch the last 2 weeks.

yeah but winter is usually over by Feb 15 anyway in the deep south. So i don't really care what happened the last 2 weeks of Feb that year.
2004 and 2015 would disagree, at least around here. The second half of February has produced some big dogs here, probably more than December.

2015 was horrible along the I-20 corridor in GA. 2004 we didnt see much either. I can't remember the last time Atlanta had a decent snow after Feb 15. It's probably been 10 years.
RDU went like 30 years without a good storm in the first half of December.

Another win for the NAM today! ??
One week everything looks great, the next it looks terrible. Sometimes I miss the old days of just looking at the local on the 8s and waiting for the wintry mix icon to pop up a week out. Since I’ve began looking at models extensively back in 2014, I have yet to get hardly anything here in SC. Lol
How far can one semi-reliably see? Maybe 2 weeks, which gets way out there to January 10th. Yeah, that would be it. Winter over by then. Can’t have cold after Jan 10.

If I see one more conversation about what is and isn't the southeast in any main thread all parties are getting a 7 day timeout

Snow was more enjoyable in the old days I believe. Less stress since we weren't glued to models 24/7.
Agree with Dewpoint here.
Winter for the Triangle in terms of looking at the long range best opportunities has 4qtrs to me. 1st) Dec 15-31; 2nd) Jan 1-15; 3rd) Jan 16-31; 4th) Feb 1-15.
We are looking at going into the half scoreless right now.

It's always concerning when you waste prime climo in the south, considering how short of a window prime climo usually is.

We haven’t wasted anything yet.
I can think of more times where I saw measurable snow between February 15-28 than December 15-31 around here in the last 20 years. February 27, 2004. February 16, 2013 (a relatively small event though). February 24-26, 2015. February 20, 2020. For December 15-31 I can think of December 26, 2010 and nothing else.

Not yet, but it looks like we may waste the first week of January and that is typically one of the best times of the winter to score.

Maybe but that’s ok. All it takes is one storm.

Don't forget December 18, 2000. Or maybe that wasnt a big snow in Raleigh ?

I guess its safe to say I’ll never see snow fall like that in my lifetime

North GA has had just as much snow if not more than Chicago. That's impressive.

Same here unless I go chasing in the NE.
It wasn't. December around here usually has nothing. 22 of 30 Decembers from 1991-2010 had no measurable snow.

February 2010 was good for CAE wasnt it ?
yes i got right at 10 inches around valentine's day that year
Way down here where sig wintry precip is rare, the main "peak" in frequency of the rare winter storms is ~Feb 8-21. There have been a few sig ones even later in late Feb to the first few days of March. Our 2nd biggest snowfall on record by a large margin wasn't until March 4th!
In what NC city does Packbacker live? Does @Rain Cold happen to know?
I thought is use to be Apex.

We've had some big storms in early December and then in late February and early March. I've always thought the period from December 5th to March 5th was our time to hope for glory. But your right, if you're talking about prime time.
Don't you live in Montana?
Well the hole in the Midwest should fill in nice with all the cutters coming up. Wonder when ours over here will? We're always last and hoping we don't run out of time first.
We have gotten decent storms >Feb 15th and even a couple in early March. Typically though they seem to be fewer and fewer as time goes by
Also not to bring up the dreaded 'sun angle' (which has nothing to do with snow storms happening in Feb/March but certainly more to do with snow pack staying power. After Feb 15th the sun angle equals what you get pre Oct 15th or at least that's what Greg Fishel once said.
Been a good season for Oklahoma.
