Like I said the other day, cold rain cad always does trend colder, at least until you hit 32-33F and then it stops and you get the coldest rain possible
 
Well that’s no bueno, the pattern the ensembles have been hinting at in starting to show up the ECMWF, I’d watch this across the gulf coast regions, don’t like when models toss a cutoff in the SW only to get picked back up and eject East, I bet cad areas get CADed 9D09C05D-E22F-4042-BD08-71C9D67A3E35.pngB8763224-10E6-4B64-8D41-55DEB174BCE1.pngBE6EDFFC-904A-4E5C-829E-4C533BB8780E.png
 
Why do we constantly torture ourselves with this model madness? For real though what in the hell did we do here in the Carolina's to deserve this? I mean Texas got snow all way to the Mexico border and coast, as well as LA, and MS. Portland also had a major snow and ice event last week. What's next? Snow in San Diego? Like @Webberweather53 alluded to we see less snow event's but tend to get the big dogs during this time. But enough of this CAD crap. It's miserable.

We unfortunately can’t control the weather, but the weather is gonna control us mentally with CADing us while RNK is reporting heavy wet snow at 31 degrees

This is definitely the worst snow drought for CLT metro since the early 90s. KCLT went from 2/1989 to 3/1993 without recording a snowfall of more than a 1/2 inch. That drought ended with 2 inches that the airport received from the Superstorm, though of course northern Mecklenburg/ northern Cabarrus and points nw got a lot more with that one. Hopefully when this drought ends, it will end with a big dog.

That gives me hope... I haven't seen a big snow since I moved to Charlotte from Birmingham other than the two or three inches in December 2018 storm. I was wondering what the previous snow droughts were in Charlotte the other day . Good info!

Don’t worry- we haven’t forgot about you all. I know the NW burbs got nailed in 2017. While you all sat in sloppy mess. Now that’s pain!

Atlanta area has the same exact North/South I-85 dividing line BS Charlotte does. It rarely fails. I miss the 2009-2011 period which was incredible here.

Yeah the early 90s were just downright awful here in terms of wintry weather. There were a couple of significant ZR events during that time, but for the most part it was cold rain or winter torches. The worst part was that during one of those winters, I’m thinking ‘90-91, there was a horrible busted forecast in which CLT was forecasted 6-10” and instead the storm missed us south

Not sure it was supposed to be that much, but it was the winter of 1990-91. We did not get the rates we needed and had to have perfect timing with cold air crossing the mountains. We managed to get around 1 inch here while we did have the rates but it went back to rain and never switched back. I think maybe we were supposed to get 4-6 down here with it.

Edit: We also missed a snowstorm in 1992 to the south. I think Atlanta got 4-6 out of it and CAE got 1-2 from it.

Yea, forecast was 6-8'' at my house near GSO. Not a single flake.

That one hurt almost as bad as December 2000..
