Yeah it looked like a good storm for you guys. Between randomly flipping to rain and having the sun out that morning it was OK here

When we were looking at houses, I wanted the top climo I could get in the metro. 27712 provided that and proximity to campus and Durham.
I was not, under any circumstances, going to live anywhere near 40.

Wonder if aerosols are the culprit for the cold snowy 60s-90s . Nothing is more potent at changing climate than aerosols .
When was the last time we had something like this that didn't go negative, sucked the SLP west and drench Raleigh with rain while the 85 corridor pounded snow for 18 hours. This really sucks to miss out on a big event for a large part of the area.
Probably more than we want to admit tbh I think 2019, 2015 did something similar with no snow

It took me since 2018 to get roads covered. Pretty sure y’all had road covered and the year before. Stop complaining.
That's what I mean...that is so close to a massive storm system. That stupid string at the base of the trough screwed us. And probably that convection off the coast.

That’s what I did in Guilford County. It’s interesting what moving just 10 miles north can do for snow totals. It’s not just a minor latitude change either. Getting away from the sea of asphalt and concrete can mean a 2 or 3 degree temperature difference.
Februaries during La Niña have mostly sucked at RDU in recent years.

Yikes that's horrible. RDU hasn't even cracked an INCH in February during a La Niña since 1996!

Crazy it's not better, I need to reassess what we need for good snows.
What about March
Take last night. We raidated to 15 degrees, which was 4 degrees colder than Durham and six colder than RDU. We're surrounded mostly by woods, horse farms etc.

But dew point dan told me nobody cared if my property got more snow than 20 miles southeast of here.
Yeah, there shouldn’t be a huge difference between RDU and Garner. It’s probably like 1”/year difference (if that) over the long term if I had to guess, which is barely noticeable. The last storm was probably the first one in a long time where it benefited to be S/E of RDU. Which shouldn’t be rare.
March is actually better

A bit better but most still had a trace or nothing
he said alot of things, you know, when we could post.
The best advice I can give anybody is dont let your home buying decisions hamstring you into years of pain.

True. Same here. I woke up with 14.7 IMBY and 20 at PTI. And it’s a 20 minute drive.
This is just really bad luck...just subtle changes could have resulted in a big miller A wiping the eastern US instead of just clipping Boston. These setups don't come around all that often.
i watched state come down from 9 with 100 seconds left in the game and beat carolina which is giving me irrational hope that we can still reel something respectable in. massive keyword being "irrational". im fighting for my life out on the disco thread
