Ha! I don’t know how I ended up with that tweet? I didn’t realize it was from 12/30 I certainly didn’t do it intentionally. I apologize, but it still appears useful today. Lol

Bleaklies. At least for once they give no hope, and maybe that is a sign things are about to turn:

BAMWX had retweeted their earlier early January tweet to I think just emphasize their modified forecast had verified.
There it comes for mid MarchBleaklies. At least for once they give no hope, and maybe that is a sign things are about to turn:
You’re probably right. Cold early spring has become just as certain as mild winter
looks like plenty below freezing outside of the mountains to me?

So should we expect winters for now on the be non existent in the southeast? Is this gonna be the new normal? It’s hard to believe this maybe the 2nd time in recorded history that GSP doesn’t receive any snowfall. I absolutely love snow so it breaks my heart not to get any. I absolutely hate temperatures over 70 degrees so yeah I’m miserable most the year.

I said “almost”. That’s the only time in the whole 16 day run there is substantial area below freezing besides mountains. Next coldest nights are tonight and tmrw.
I’m honestly gasping on straws, but the 3km supports pockets of wet snow outside the mountains, soundings so close as far south as CLT, (very close to isothermal soundings, good lift in the DGZ, heavy precipitation) if you get a microscope you can see pockets of snow in the foothills/NW piedmont, gonna b tons of bright banding on radar tommorow, maybe if someone outside the mountains gets a heavy band of precip, wet snow could mix in ? 
12km was even better and more closer

This isn’t a “New norm”. It will indeed be snowy again one day. We just have had two rough years back to back. MJO has been pretty rebellious the last two winters with little time spent on the left side (colder) of the graph.
Blocking has lacked substantially when we needed it both years as well.
just 2 bad years
I don’t think anyone knows. Certainly in my 50 years living in NC they “don’t make winters like they used to”. Obviously teleconnections have not helped us, but it seems even when they are not bad we find a way to be warm.
I do agree this is not the new normal. However I do disagree that its only been a 2 year problem. The lack of blocking on the Atlantic side has been a problem for a decade almost. I still has managed to snow yes. But anyone looking to break this cycle of above average warmth in winter, especially December and February need to look at the NAO and lets try to see what's causing its run of positive winters.

Nothings changing until the SST’s in the maritime change. It’s boiling water which just fuels 4-5 over and over.
