I remember when I was living in Rockingham,we got two good snow events in the 2010/11 winter. The Chrismas day storm where it we changed from rain to a heavy wet snow event and from what I remembed, we recived 4-5 inches of snow. The temperatures also stayed around freezing throughout the day due to the sun never coming out. Also January system where we got roughly 9 inches of snow between the late night hours and noon before a change over to freezing rain. I also remembed the snow staying on the ground for almost a week due to how cold the tempertures were and the snow felt hard. Far as 2009/10 winter,yeah that was basically the closest thing we had to wall to wall cold in the 21st centruy.

I was in Raleigh for that January storm and we lost the cold air source as it moved east and we got nothing but some sleet/ZR (0.2” total). One of my most hated storms of all time considering how big of a storm it was for most of this board lol. ? Never seen anything like it, areas south of here got hammered with snow while all I got was mixed crap! That’s not the way it’s supposed to work lol.

I finally had to use the ignore feature. What’s the point of a region-specific weather board if I have to read post after post of unrelated weather info?

We have found ourself in a bit of a pickle here tbh. We have a slowly expanding footprint with a core of members from different states in the region and now outside of the region. Not entirely sure how to manage that in a way that isn't disruptive or alienates certain posters. I'm more than happy to listen to suggestions

The research I talked about and linked is titled Global Patterns Influence on Snow in NC. I explained that is what I was talking about when saying we have had good patterns based on that research but it still hasn't produced as often as it did in the past. And still someone is being a prick about it. Becoming more and more like those two horrible mods at American.

Yes, just like them. Threatening to ban you, giving you warnings, locking you out of threads, telling you to read more post less. Yeah sure ok.

I was kidding with NoSnowAtl about a 16 day rainstorm for you and me and you posted this right after:

"Don't worry, there is always someone who will point out what can go wrong."

Typical passive aggressive post from you. I can't help you don't know what it means. You make comments about things and don't have any idea what you're talking about and then quote other people or link papers to avoid discussion. If you want to do that fine. But don't get your underoos in a wad when asked to talk about it.

If you knew what you were looking at, you'd clearly see that that setup isn't very good for a big winter storm here. It's not about wishing in a snowstorm. I mean, you can do that and often do do that. But if you're going to come in and say something dumb like "someone will always point out what will go wrong" then be prepared to discuss it or take a little flak. You of all people should know that most of the time, these things don't work out, even with a good setup....much less a setup featuring a rainstorm 16 days out with maybe a front end sleet pellet.

I dont personally begrudge any former southerner snow. I think the problem is the factors that can cause it to snow in other parts of the country are so different than what we need down here. I think give it a trial thread for like a Non SE winter thread. Hopefully some of the regular posters will chime in on it and help out with maps/analysis a bit. I'd personally probably read it, but it's hard to have everyone in the same thread because we are basically rooting against each other to get the pattern we need.

Shoot that's true in the SE haha. What works for me most times not gonna work for other parts of NC let alone the entire SE. Every man, woman, child for themselves ?

All true I was probably thinking about Lakes cutters etc. Last year was a prime example though of the SE being split in half and what worked west....didn't work east. Been a while since we had the old Boardwide type storms.

It probably wouldn't get the traffic needed if we had other threads. I know I wouldn't waste my time reading what's going on in Iowa.. I don't mind reading it as I'm reading the main thread.

Yeah maybe we can include people from the SE traveling for snow too. I'm looking more at that these days and seems like others are too. I can't say I study great patterns for Colorado snowstorms or Tahoe etc. Although it seems like for Tahoe atleast we are in a good one now.

What @metwannabe pointed to is where I'm at as well. It's hard to balance what we have as a whole even within the region or states, what would jackpot our yards would likely leave 75% of the board on the outside looking in. I'd be ok with starting a thread for other regions but I worry it would just become an inactive wasteland since most that visit only care about their yard.

I like the posters from outside the SE, good people. However, I dont care what happens there from a weather standpoint unless its a major ordeal.

I can see how a bunch of snow-starved SE folks could get riled up hearing about snow outside our region. Pretty understandable.

I think the 2nd part of this is on point. If we had decent recent winters or a better outlook going forward I doubt the level of anger would be as high
