Late March / Early April could be our time to score, like in 1915… Back to back storms! 
This is a better winter than 100 years ago.

I know north Carolina can get big ones.....but it appears damn near impossible to get 6 plus from Atlanta to gsp or greenwood and on to the east. Most of the time the Carolinas get hit big...its rain or ice..or snow to ice/rain down this way to atlanta. Getting what just happened to the Gulf coast to happen further north is apparently even rarer...which is mind blowing to me.
Maybe we’re on the Nashville arc. I’m pretty sure they had a dreadful snow drought before 2019, and we all know how they’ve been doing since then (
).
We've definitely blew it in the northern upstate. It doesn't feel like there will be anymore chances. It's been a blockbuster winter for everywhere else. What a disaster this winter if for this area and some of the foothills of western NC.

Wonder how it turned out for that guy in Johnston County that kept complaining he wasn't getting anything yet and he was going to get dry slotted.
Probably got more snow than all of us. That’s the way it goes.
I’m all-in on the D10-12 threat.

So far I would give the winter an A- for cold. Been below average most of the time with lots of low 20s and upper teens. I can't give it an A+ though because I haven't had true cold nights; my lowest has only been 16 which isn't really all that cold; should have had some upper single digits somewhere. For snow; my grade would be a D so far. Got 1.5 of slop a couple weeks ago but could have been so much more, and this week was a total skip for me.
Nothing because we crapped the bed. The two little snows were actually big snows for the south, we just failed. That's why it feels over to me. There probably aren't many years with 3 big storms in the south
I wouldn’t mind a warm up before the big dog pattern to close out winter during the back half of February.

Yeah, yesterday was awesome, got 4 inches but I’m down for a lil thaw now.
At least I got snow pictures and videos to look back on when it’s 95 degrees this summer.
Maybe at some point before mid March I can sleet way to a total of 1 inch of accumulation for the winter. Only 0.4 more to go

I wouldn't say we "crapped the bed," but rather Mother Nature gave us the middle finger. We did everything we could to bring it these home.
Pretty sure they just bury themselves below the frost lines. I've got some massive ones at my house with holes 4-5 feet deep.
Alaskan snow lovers heading to Denali - or is it McKinley again? - to cliff dive.

Don't fret, all you folks that didn't get good snow this time. I went out back and pee'd on my weather rock and it gave off vibes for a late month February triple-phaser. My rock's name is Don.

For South Charlotte we've had a total of about 0.5 inches between the 2 winter events thus far. Barely enough to whiten the ground the first time, and cover both roads and ground (with grass still visible) last night.
We need a real snow event in S CLT. Way overdue.

Hopefully this the new long-term pattern for a few years and we get to experience one more 1980s or 2010s like stretch before it gets too warm to snow at all.
3 snow events here this year
1st in December with the clipper, 0.7 here
2nd a couple weeks ago, around 0.2 with that one
3rd yesterday, 0.35 here
Season total = 1.25” here

North-central AL probably gonna see some surprise snow from that clipper from the sfc trough out ahead. Bet someone could get a nice coating from this

December - 1.25"
January - .75" / .25" Sleet / .15 ICE .....Yesterday Dusting
Season (Sleet Included) - 2.25" SN/IP / .15 ICE not terrible but man....4 more inches for the 6"+ Season.
2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 , 2019 (Technically Dec 18) ,2022
Now that I went back and looked ...should we reel in one more to get to that 6" Mark I feel bad complaining as that would be 6/11 yrs 6"+ for the season and a couple of those were 8-10". I didnt realize It had been that consistent prior to 2020
Weird - that same run shows snow into GA too (heading towards ATL?) -- and doesn't show up on literally any other model? Is this hallucination from HRRR?
More Alabama snow. Shocker
