This was a good one too… I got that 6.3” on top of the 4” that had fallen on the 11th

I tend to lean on being done too honestly. Simply statistics of already having a 4 inch storm, what's the chances of another imby? That plus the issues we're having with the southern stream, generally dry ensembles till mid month, etc. Better chance than most years perhaps with cold nearby I guess. Hopeful, looking, but low expectations.

This was the Feb 2014 snow in Mooresville. Most snow I’ve seen. It was pretty amazing. A foot 
100% chance more snow
The 6 day period 2/26-3/3 has had more 6”+ snowstorms (7) at RDU than any other 6 day period:

Despite Brent getting on the goods here soon.. I really don’t see a big winter weather pattern .. we definitely have some cold air flying around and the SER is trying to flex at the same time .. just a lot more threading the needle type of scenarios we might have to lean on at least for this...
Do you happen to have the same info for CLTThe 6 day period 2/26-3/3 has had more 6”+ snowstorms (7) at RDU than any other 6 day period:

No, sorry. But anyone could come up with the list of snowstorms on each date over whatever level they choose by going here though a lot of time would be needed to compile (that’s what I did for RDU):

With that said, right now right at mid month looks like a chance, time frame to watch. Southern stream looks a bit more juiced to meet the cold. ?

It’s a precarious venture to see if mid February cold will actually verify.

That March 1983 was definitely one to remember… CLT had 10.3” and from reading the snow depth records it actually stuck around for a couple days despite the high sun angle

Januworry is prime climo for the Carolinas, but think some of the top snows have happened in March! Winters not over by a long shot! Put the MrGolf clubs away till April
Not even CLOSE to being done. Something BIG on the horizon!!
FACTS
I've convinced myself that winter was over starting in February from what Webber was saying. If we can continue the colder pattern, I'll be pleasantly surprised; especially if we can get snow.

Yeah Webbers never wrong
Well, he hasn't made any, "I told you so" tweets yet, so I have a feeling it's not going to plan.

Meh, not a fan of March snow at all. I'm in till 3/1 then I'm out. Never had a satisfying March snow that I can remember. So melty, non-sticky meh. Come March I'm ready for spring.
I wish I could remember 83, perhaps my opinion would be different. 09 was a slopfest imby.

Keep us posted
Where were you at in March 2009? I lived in the Mallard Creek area of north Charlotte not far from Northlake Mall and had 6” with thundersnow… and the ground actually stayed fairly well covered for a couple days after.

Last storm we had where I really remember seeing transformers blowing left and right. March winter storms actually really deliver around here. They just don’t have staying power after it snows usually

Northwest Charlotte near Mt Holly Huntersville Road. Think had about 3 to 4 sloppy inches.
Yes I remember having to drive to work at 4am in the morning as there was still some light snow falling. Harris Blvd in CLT was an absolutely mess and you could still see flashes from transformers blowing.
Another coastal. Nice. ?

Yea he had me convinced as well. Telling you I was out planting trees the week between Christmas and New Year. Told the familia if we get 30 minutes of snow and the mulch covers up, its a win this year. Almost 5 weeks latter and we have had 4 stellar events that involved all snow and some sleet. Still with the warm rain, we have the last little bit preserved by the shade about to bite the dust/melt off today. Sitting right at 9 for the year. Could have easily ended up 15-20 range. The hardest and prettiest snow was the 1st we had the day the temps flipped. Believe it was upper 50's/ close to 60 at midnight and by 8am poured snow for about 5 hours.
2 of the 3 biggest snows I've seen in person in NC are
February 28 2004 =17.5
March 1993 = 15+
Also think off the top of my head late Feb into March 2013 ( may be year, could be 2014/ cant remember) we had like 3-4 frozen events ( mostly ice). I do know we where in a La nina year. Think we lucked up and caught a rabbit in the hat out in the NE Pacific/ pattern for a few weeks.
Western ridge this past jan and being modeled again is on roids, ensembles look great

Looks great but can we finally get a gulf low that rides up the coast instead of out to sea?

Yeah, doesn't look like it. Looks pretty dry to me overall. Doesn't mean something can't pop, but we're likely looking to mid month before something can get going imo. 6Z starts to juice up mid month but it looks like cutters this run. I'll take a cutter at this point. It's been so long since anything amped. Lol.

The ECENS has been pretty consistent in showing basically no snow for the next ten days.
Lots of banter in this thread, we literally have 2 other threads specifically for that and especially the whamby for all the "we're done", weather whining post. Going to start deleting post as we move forward and this thread becomes more active.
First you need the cold for any wintry weather. It's pretty obvious, but that's the first thing to look for. So, check, we'll have the cold. Feb is usually a stormier month, too. I'm sure there will be a good chance or two going forward.
