From my crude stats Raleigh went 10 years from 1902 to 1912 in between 10"+ seasons, a couple of other times they went 7 years (1950's and 1990's) and currently we are on year 16 and counting.

When u look also at Charlotte, 2 of the 3 decades on record where 10" of snow wasn't observed in at least one winter have also been 2 of the 3 most recent decades (1990s & 2010s). Furthermore, there have only been 2 winters since 1990 (1990-2019) (2002-03 & 2003-04) where 10"+ of snow was seen in a single season. Over the previous 30 winters (1960-1989), 11 were observed.
Ugh
Wait so what NCSNOW said earlier is wrong?

It all depends on where you are located in Middle Tennessee. As far as the city of Nashville itself it can be a lot less snowy then say If you live on the Cumberland plateau or the highland rim. Living in these areas of Middle Tennessee is more like being closer to Louisville then Nashville. I’ve had as much as almost 3 inches of snow and drove down south to Hendersonville tennessee which is only 20 minutes away and they literally had only a dusting.During the big January 2016 snow I believe HendersonVille and Nashville had around 7-8 inches while here in White House and other places on the highland rim got 10-12 inches.

If you account for the movement of observing stations from near central Wake before the late 40s to RDU in the NW part of the county, 1904-05 would very likely qualify as a 10"+ winter, lowering the record streak to 7 years. We've basically doubled the previous record streak...
To pour salt on your wounds, Fayetteville, NC has seen at least 3 10"+ winters (2003-04, 2010-11, & 2013-14) over the same time span & I had the pleasure to live thru all of those. I guess I never realized how good I had it there.

What did Fayetteville, NC get out of the system in Feb 12th, 2010?

Some of it is bad luck, Raleigh has been close the past 15 years or and just missed out. Didn't realize FAY has had such big winters recently...that's always nice.

We only picked up about 4” here, definitely would consider that a good event by Fayetteville’s standards

Yeah, Fayetteville has had a string of pretty good luck in much of the 2010s. We ended up scoring an extra 5" w/ the early Jan 2011 event while Raleigh got jipped. Fayetteville also picked up an additional 3-4" in 2013-14 right before the big dog on Feb 12-13 in a storm that was supposed to produce a few scattered flurries to a light coating at best (oops). Then, we saw just as much snow as Raleigh in the Feb 12-13th storm which was also not supposed to drop more than about a coating to an inch. It was definitely nice to see 8" of snow on the ground again.
I can live with this.... today and tomorrow the warmest of the next 15, sure nothing bone chilling but no torch either.
So this just shows how bad Wake County has sucked lately, no joke.... there has literally been more snow west, north, east and south of them. Wow!

I'll further add that if it wasn't for a stubborn warm nose w/ the storm on January 28-29 (lol should have known then), 2013-14 may have ended up being the snowiest winter in Fayetteville since 1935-36. Oh what could have been...
WRAL's forecast for Jan 28-29:

Yeah no kidding. The same could be said however for Fayetteville regarding 1+ foot events, we haven't seen one since Dec 1958 (before my grandparents moved here), literally everyone north, south, east, & west of us has seen at least one of these in that same time span.
*grumbles*.
Man you're doing a lot of research just to see how bad you suck... Lol jk

Considering that I missed Dec 2010, it would be my luck to have Fayetteville get the first true "big one" in several decades while I'm away in Charlotte... ?
