Pattern February 2024

Sure looks more east this time around to me. Wish we could get something to come up under that quick pattern on 1/31-2/1
If it’s quick i wouldn’t really call it a “Pattern” Webb mentioned a true pattern should happen in February and it would have some staying power to it.
 
I'm sure we'll get cold again in February after the warm up this week. I just don't think we'll have any precip to go along with it when it's cold enough for snow. It's been the same thing the last few winters. Cold and dry, warms up and rains, drys out in time for it to get cold again. Until that doesn't happen I don't see any reason to believe it's going to be any different in regards to snow chances in NC outside the mountains, and especially for the Triangle and east.

Cold air is dry and warm air is moist. It’s basic stuff here and nothing that is any different from the past. Thats how it is and always will be.. you need mechanisms to drive moisture into cold air. Energy didn’t dig like it needed to these last few storms so we got no precip. But to simply say when it’s cold it’s dry and that’s how it is nowadays is just silly and adds nothing to the conversation. Making a claim like that without any reasoning is pointless.
 
Thanks man I really appreciate it. I think this spring/summer I know what I need to do ?
My only reason for posting this is to give you some assurance,
We all need that push from time to time.
This is your calling.
There's others here too,
That I feel have a true calling to be in a meteorology career.
In some fashion.
There's at least 10-15 ppl when reading these models that I pay close attention too.
Your one of the top.
Along with fill in the name.
We all know who they are...

The reasoning is that's how it's been the past three years, so no reason to think it's going to be any different until it actually does something different.
 
That's a super strong wedge signal for such a long lead time on the CMCE. Seems like February 5-15 should be a great time to score a winter storm east of the apps. I've personally always been a fan of a warm Canada. The -30C arctic cold dropping down in to the great plains from Southern Canada rarely works out for us now.

It is that way now it seems. Broad troughs that reach way south seem more and more a thing of the past.
 
any example of sensible weather round here on feb 87?..dont remember
 
Any good upstate sc storms in 87? I wasn’t born lol
We got sleet in Feb 1987, but that was mostly from Greenville and east. This was a monster CAD event which was actually a forecast bust since it was supposed to be rain here. All of upstate SC got a decent snow event in Jan 1987, especially from Greenville to Gaffney and north. We actually came close to getting a major snowstorm in April too, but that ended up staying in the NC mountains. That event nailed Birmingham AL though with 6+ inches of snow.

1987 was a banner year for GVL North.
I know Anderson got a good snow in Jan.
GVL got a foot..
We had a big sleet storm in Feb.
First time we got snow in April in my life that year also.
85 N got an Inch the closer you got to the NC border in GVL county the totals went up drastically..
Parts of the NC mountains got 2-3 feet.
I'm very surprised at the lack of video or even pictures from any of the storms of 1987.
Mt Pisgah had WLOS transmitter on top,
Got over 30 inches if memory serves in that April storm.
