Was 83 here around this day last year and yet we still had more snow and the coldest temperatures of the entire winter
I mean I know our climate is a little better on snow but nobody is convincing me it's over

In 2018, RDU had one of its warmest Februaries on record, followed by a well BN March and April that featured four separate snow events. Two of them were measurable (March 12 and 24), and RDU airport also saw a trace of snow on April 8 - the latest snowfall in RDU in the 21st century. There was also periods of well AN temperatures in the week prior (and after) the February 27, 2004 big dog.
If we get to around March 10th with models showing nothing but SER and above normal temperatures, winter can be "canceled" then. But it's still too early, especially for areas farther NE

The milked turned into cheese the way this aged
At this point living in Central North Carolina, I'll take any precipitation I can get whether it be rain or snow. The QPF forecast looks anemic other than some small events during the next ten days or so and we, along with most of the state, are getting behind the eight ball when it comes to precipitation. One of my friends who has well water like me, may have to drill a new well soon. The lakes and reservoirs are well below normal too. We need a long duration storm with copious amounts of precipitation to help us catch up on the rainfall deficit.

Impressive but not entirely accurate. Omaha has had 6.5” of snow since November (2.2” since December). Not sure why they wouldn’t include November.
We can outsnow Boise, but we can't outsnow Pensacola!

I have a friend who has lived in Montana since 2018. This winter is the least amount of snow they have had since living there.
At least the Rocky Mountains have Astonishing April to save them, something we'll never have around here!
Crazy how eastern vs western trough works. Everyone can’t win every winter. Unless we go full on North American trough which is pretty rare. Florida and Cuba setting record cold records typically won’t end well for our western neighbors. But we are due in the east. How many years running have we suffered through Seattle snow?

It's crazy how different things are for VA, KY and TN versus NC when it comes to winter weather.
What about Mack, the 2 Illinois posters, the ME poster, and the MT poster? They have the best climo!
Yeah idk why some are even here honestly lol no offense

Would you mind if they decided to make it exclusively a S SC/S GA/FL/S AL/S MS/LA board? They’d rename it VeryDeepSouthernWx.com!
I almost had a seizure looking at the inverted southeast

It’s a glorious Early Spring day here. 63 and Sunny.
Generator is being drained and going into the barn. You hear that winter 2026, you’ve got nothing left 
That’s near the normal high here. We’re heading only to ~60 today. I can’t wait to take my walk in this pleasantly cool and dry Canadian air!

See I disagree with you to me if gives me hope looking forward to what is coming down the pipe for me in NC. Maybe I’m crazy but I really appreciate all the updates from [mention]Ross [/mention] and [mention]LukeBarrette [/mention] and other VA friends

If ya'll vote out VA from the site, then NC is next. Domino theory and all that.
But seriously though, I like the VA posters. We need their analysis. Maybe they know their stuff cause they get more opportunities every year.
@LukeBarrette Keep posting the snow vids. Everybody on here would do the same if they lived in Roanoke!

endorsement everyone. Virginia is for lovers.

The snow / ZR is incredibly still hanging around in the spots with the fewest hours of sun. It will be 14 days tomorrow since the Snow, sleet and ZR fell.

Watching a squirrel eat snow on my back deck was not something I ever thought I’d see. He’s still going to town on it as I type.

Two inches at beech mountain from the initial clipper. Not much falling now for flow snow but hopefully it ramps up this evening.

Actually have sleet falling now. Not cold enough in the low levels to make snow I guess. Sigh.
