Getting some great ads, “ Tender blacks, flirt with ebony girls” . Sweet deal !
@Lickwx here's exactly what I did with GSP. Every county in the RAH CWA, severe thunderstorm warnings. Big number is total, small number is average per year. It would appear the action is not, in fact, south and east of wake. (I still believe there must be some bias towards larger population centers/areas closer to the actual office/radar site)
Can you do tor warnings?

County size also plays a role, some of those counties near the bottom are tiny . Some of them also definitely get more storms. Also wakes total is higher than mecklenburg so ahahah
Just like a bad relationship it's going to give us just enough to stay around but in the end be another disappointment

So This either confirms there is a storm hole over me, or that the distance to the radar is playing a key. And it could be both. I'm closer to RNK Radar and will use their Site in Radarscope over RAH.
The 2 surrounding counties in this list that are in RAH are Davidson which averages 3.4 more SVR storms a year more, and Guilford which averages a whopping 5.4 more SVR storms a year more.
I'd be curious to see what RNK has for Rockingham, Stokes, and Yadkin.

There's a whole slew of toys on the Iowa State website that are fun to look thru, you could get lost for days on this site and you'd be surprised at everything you could do.
https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/archive/
You can go here and search for advisories, watches, & warnings by point, state, etc and get them in excel or csv
https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/vtec/search.php#byugc/NCC085
You can also pair these warnings (like say tornado warnings) w/ archived radar images, local storm reports, etc. from those times (just have to change the event number or year to toggle between warnings & radar images.) Here's the first warning issued on the Sanford-Raleigh tornado and KRAX radar at the time of issuance.

Here's one w/ public information statements from NWS MHX & NWS RAH for the Dec 2000 snowstorm. This will be one of the many resources I'll be using to reconstruct snowstorms in the modern era around here.

The automated data plotter has so many good statistics you can pull from it, don't even know where to start...
Here's the estimated areal snow coverage of at least a dusting (0.3") of snow in NC during the winter of 1935-36 for ex:

Here's another one w/ accumulated YTD precip at RDU (you can also download this data (& above) in excel/csv)
I'm just barely scratching the surface here haha
This is awesome.
