N. Harnett NC checking in with just over 2 inches of snow. This storm was nothing spectacular for us and are left with "what could've been" as just a few miles away 6+ inches were reported. Congrats to all the snow winners!

January 10-11, 2011 was another one...a legendary Southern Slider for most of the region. Just a sad hour of flurries and then some freezing drizzle for Raleigh.

I was in Raleigh for that one, that was a catastrophe. I couldn't believe how the models were just killing the storm as it moved eastwards, and then it did. At least the Christmas / Boxing Day Storm was only a couple weeks beforehand.

The data is surprising sometimes. I just saw where the 10.3” was Greensboro’s 6th snowiest day ever. Only recorded a foot on 3 occasions.

Well on the other hand…Raleigh has had 7 6” events in 30 years which isn’t bad. But it’s been 8 since the last one and over that 8 years has been brutal. Seems insurmountable we ever see another 6” event.

I recall seeing a map sometime ago where Raleigh actually had a somewhat higher incidence of 8"+ snowfalls. Not sure if that's true anymore given recent history, but I can see it making sense given Raleigh is closer to the coast and thus can benefit more from bombing coastals, whereas Greensboro gets snow more often, but is sometimes too far from the coast to benefit from coastal enhancement. A good example of this is Christmas / Boxing Day 2010.

We’ve rented a cabin and are going skiing this weekend in banner elk. Does anyone know which of the two resorts does better with northwest flow snow? Looks like it’s gonna rip up there Friday afternoon, I’d rather go ski at the place with more snow.

We have bad years and good years. We also seem to have bad decades and good decades. I believe(hoping) we're going into a good multi year period.

I have no clue why the UK gets so much love…this is Thursday 12z run. 48 hours out.

Id just like to be the winner in a snow event once even if it's just a 1-3 it has to be a good feeling

I don’t think there’s ever been an event where my specific area was ground zero for a storm jackpot. Just doesn’t happen that way. So I get to ride Charlotte’s coattail and scrape together what I can during their run at history. It’s not so bad. It takes the pressure off

Backpack leaf blower is the perfect tool for removing this snow

It worked pretty good...but still had to sweep a couple of areas. But I only had 2" to clear...places that had 10" they going to have to shuffle or wait it out for the sun to do it's job this week.
