Underrated IMO.

March 2017 there was light-moderate snow here during the late morning/noon/mid aft, and I got near 3 inches of snow with the extremely brutal March sun

Here comes a nice soaking rain.

There's much more to snow stickage and melt than just SuN aNgLe

I want brutal sun. I also want to set a record for 90° days next October to rival 2019.

I think when there's a snowpack and nights are consistently below freezing that makes it harder for it to melt.

I looked it up on wunderground, and Charlotte's snow occurred between 1am and 9am, which would make it much easier for it to stick. Had it occurred between 9am and 5pm it would be a different story.

I agree

Ok he said March 2017 so maybe he was thinking March 2018. I do notice the roads look wet. Its a lot harder to get road stickage in mid afternoon in March.

I agree . I also think when you water the plants they grow . If you eat food you satisfy your hunger , and if you run you will get tired . Any more obvious things ?

2 different storms but both had accumulating snow during the day in mid March. The 2017 system was colder

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

Yes.... If we don't do our jobs we get fired.

So that's what I've been doing wrong

 

[Myfrotho704_]

March 2018 had snow accumulate on the roads here quickly, it just didn’t last because it changed to ip

Sum angle is overrated

 

[Dewpoint Dan]

I'm loving these longer days. Sunset in December = 5:19. Now = 6:26.

Longer days melt my snow more then the sun angle

 

[Dewpoint Dan]

Longer days melt my snow more then the sun angle

But it's the sun angle that creates the longer days. So it's the sun angle's fault.

How about that 200+ hour anafrontal on the gfs

@SoutheastRidge used to sound like you with the sun angle argument

LOL, MEG
getting so snow happy they are putting in forecasts like this...

FRIDAY
A 20 percent chance of showers, freezing rain and snow in the morning. Mostly sunny. Highs around 50.

Little Rock averages about 3.5" compared to RDU's 6". Little Rock is at 20.3" this winter which is more than twice as much as RDU has had any winter in the last 17 years. Why can't RDU ever just have a year where we massively exceed climo anymore?

I personally don’t understand the jealousy . It’s not like Little Rock does that every year , same for San Antonio . Everyone mad San Antonio got snow but fact is they probably haven’t seen that much snow in 30 years . Massively above climo snow is hard because well, it’s massively above climo otherwise climo would be more .

 

[Tarheel1]

I can't believe Del Rio, TX got more snow than Jacksonville, FL this winter. Jacksonville is further north !

 

[LickWx]

Dewwy Dan is a kook. It’s really hilarious man. Man gets stupefied by some of the most obvious or basic stuff . Come on man ! We went over this stuff already .

RDU shouldn't go 17 years without hitting 10". With a 6" average we should exceed 10" as often as we have less than 2". RDU has had less than 2" 8 times in the last 17 years not including this year.

 

[CyclonicFury]

I think it's time for meteorologists to start using median instead of mean for snowfall, especially in the southeast

 

[Tarheel1]

I’ve had 53” of snow already and 16” on the ground and I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s 2-5” , like it’s the first snow of the year! I don’t know how I’ve had more snow than Bismarck ND, they are bordering Canada! How is that even possible? It’s a winter miracle!?

Actually, Little Rock averages closer 6". Back in the 70's and 80's they averaged over 7". Like most everyone else snow averages have been on the decline.

Look at it this way your due a good one.

Heads up, east Asia had a record cold blast in January where they challenged all time lows . We had one a few weeks later in NA. Now east Asia has a huge record warm stretch ! Heads up for mid to late March , I know there is a decent correlation between their weather and ours a few weeks later .Mega torch comin after mid March .
