one solid measurable 2-4" snow is where my expectation sits. that plus flakes flying other times and plenty of cold = a good winter in my book

RDU’s climo is 5-6” and I’m in Durham, so it’s probably even higher here. 3” is piddly, I’m not happy. It’s better than the last two winters, but I’m not shooting for tallest midget here. ?

Didn’t Webber calculate our median snowfall to be like 3.8 inches or something ? Besides winter isn’t over .

Given how the average is likely right-skewed, it may indeed be, but I’m not happy if winter ended today regardless. RDU is at 2.3” on the season, that’s pathetic!!

i just don't get it. i've seen more than 2-4" once in the last 12 years so idk why my expectation should be higher

My perception has been skewed by previous great winters I guess. This winter has been ok but there's nothing that's extraordinary about it at all yet. It's basically been what you'd expect here imo

The NC weenies starting to sound a lot like the mid Atlantic ones . Just sayin. Dissatisfied and spiteful of anyone who gets more .

Last two winters have taught me to take what i can get. If 3" is what i can get, and a super fun event at that, then i will take it gladly

It’s been an average January I’d say . You’d be unsatisfied if your expectations were anything more than average really .

I haven’t seen a big snow in years, bro. I need it for my sanity. The 2.3” I got last week is the biggest storm I’ve gotten since 2015 and that makes me sad.

You know things have been bad here in recent years when we try to act like a 2-3 inch total is a good winter.

I know, right? Geez, low expectations are infecting some here. My expectations may be too high, but no way some 2-3” storm is going to make me satisfied with winter. I live in North Carolina, not South Georgia. ?

Here is RDU's running 20yr snowfall average....once 2004 rolls off in a couple of years it will drop to 3.4". Dropping quicker than Bitcoin.

1980: 8.1
1990: 8.0
2000: 6.9
2010: 5.9
2020: 5.0

I know, and I missed out on some good ones while I was gone. Still, I figured I’d see something worthwhile after three winters back, but apparently not. Well, last week’s snowstorm was solid even if it was only 2.3”, but I need more.
