there may be a loose correlation between warm Christmas and cold early-mid Jan with usual timing of pattern shifts lol

Of course we were fixing to be on our way to the playoffs in December 2015 as well

My favorite one was 2003-04. Snowed on my birthday that year and the late Feb storm was awesome.

That Late Feb mauler (17 inches) was great.
Jan 2000 not so much because of the crusher, but that 10 day stretch was a belly full. You ever get a stretch like that, you don't even bother to look for snow threats the rest of winter. Quenches the thirst.

Jan 88 never to be repeated or defeated! especially this pattern were in now.
The “this time will be different.” crowd will be battered and beaten by the time this winter is over
I have never more seriously considered a major increase in latitude in my 38 years. For someone as obsessed with winter as I am (I went to school for 6 years due to this obsession for pete's sake), have worked in the field now for 17 years (counting said school years) to have only seen 8" of snow as my all-time storm record is beyond insanity. I love winter weather so much I made a career out of it and I am beyond miserable every year. I don't even like convection, a well-known fact by everyone who knows me. Why I live in NC is beyond me.

I wish I had known that Jan 2000 to Feb 04 was a generational run i would have appreciated it more. If it wasn't for that 09 storm it would be 22 years since I've seen more than 6 where I lived

What you looking for? Lots of snow, or somewhere with a solid four seasons that are well defined? You want somewhere with tons of seasonal lag where winter drags on into spring? A quick warmup into spring? You like bitter cold ? Let me know I’ll help you find the place!

I do think it's kind of funny everyone is hyping prolonged warmth here... I ran the GFS earlier and there's not even multiple days above 65 until beyond 300 hours out and yet multiple mets have posted about it since yesterday
Like it won't be cold but to hit 60 here and there isn't anything newsworthy to me

Damn you mow early
Do I mow early or does spring start as soon as fall ends around here
I have not trust in the models. But I still look at them anyways. So the latest 6z euro would be an interesting setup going into the last five days before Christmas.
Maybe get a low to kick out from Baja just after the cold pushes in from the NW. I can dream....

When our 10yr running hits 1-2" range it's going to be really sad...if we go snowless the next 5 years our 10yr avg will drop well below 1". A snowless winter this year puts us at 10yr running low of all time...

here's a depressing one for y'all. i just turned 22, if i live to 82 how many of those 60 winters have >1" at RDU
Based on some analysis I did earlier this year, the '44-'84 median at RDU was 5.4". The '84-'24 median is 1.7". We're well on our way if something doesn't change and there's no denying we've had a lot more paltry winters in the past 40 years than we did in the previous 40.

My mom grew up in Durham back in the 40s and she said sometimes they would get so much snow the tobacco barns would collapse.

We were already on the edge between several inches and less than on inch one the map.
Unless you move from Raleigh it's going to be very slim odds you see another 6" event and we won't ever see another 10"+ event in our lifetimes. At this rate you would have to move to Buffalo to see another 10" event.
Even another 3-4" event seems insurmountable.

y’all so dramatic, even if the means are going down there is still always a chance even if it is smaller. Given a long enough time frame it will happen
