What, you don't enjoy perfect patterns and seeing every location 360 degrees around you get more snow than you've had in 25 years, which still gets thrown in your face? Imagine all that + not getting the snow they think you got 25 years ago. I'm convinced, there are some things that some people are forbidden from having in this life and big snow is mine. That is all.
P.S. No, I am not happy for anyone getting big snow today because in 40 years living here, I've never had any. It won't come back to me later either, because it never does and never will.

If we get a dusting, like the HRRR is showing...I will lose it. If we are going to bust let's completely get blanked. A dusting would be a kick to the nuts at this point.
If we get enough precipitation, there's always a warm nose. If it's cold enough for snow, there's always a dry slot.
Raleigh...too far east for ULLs, too far southeast for CAD, and too far west for coastals.

Just think next winter people will get on this very board and talk about how they deserve another event they only got 6 inches this year.

Don't forget too far north when there's a cold TPV (see today, last year, January 2011, etc.)

They'll need the national guard in Charlotte so you can take it to a donation spot to help those who are suffering today.

Also don’t forget, too far north for Gulf low snowstorms. Pensacola, FL gets 10x the amount of snow as southern Wake County
Well at least global warming moved it from the gulf coast to the midlands this year, maybe next year
I can't wait to see all of the slanted ruler measurements though

I'm glad that I'm not alone in this thread, it's made me slightly less angry
I think what makes the situation in Raleigh very frustrating is the lack of big events relative to climo. RDU hasn't officially reported more than 10" in a winter since 2003-04, while areas with similar climo around the country have done it several times. Jan 2018 was the best event of the last decade, Dec 2018 had a sharp cutoff in Wake County though. Otherwise since then we haven't seen more than 3" in a single event. RDU's mean snowfall is close to 5", we came close to that last year after two complete shutouts. Hopefully RDU will get our chance someday.

He can just clarify later he meant centimeters instead of inches.
Can we do a class action lawsuit for this?

I didn’t either, just from my limited understanding of model output- but based on general public ignorance, I can understand why.
At the end of the day, this just adds to the false alarm ratio.

We need to start a support group.
So many people saying the dry slot will fill in for us SOON but I absolutely refuse to believe it til I see it.
I think someone cursed me when I started this site and I'm just sucking the rest of you into the vortex of pain. I always thought cold rain was the bad luck but nope

The GFS may need to be decommissioned at this point considering the run I saw overnight. Just absolute bat crap stuff.
In another news, it's going to be a super long 3 and a half hours barring a miracle. Not gonna be fun because I was hoping the RGEM start time of 7-9 would play out.

December 2018 was a good event to start, but it was at night and warmed to rain and slush by daylight.

lol this winter will be the last good one for cae, ever

Sure we might come in late and win a couple hands of blackjack but we're not banking at the casino today.
Out of curiocity when was the last time y'all had a decent snow over say 3"?
Probably in 2014. We've had a handful inch or two storms since that time.
I can't say enough to the creator of this site. It's brought back memories I didn't even know I had to waiting for the weather channel local forecast to come on and update. If there was an apple tv app to do nothing but play this I'd buy it instantly.
That's about what I figured. I have a cousin on the west side of Columbia and I know they're all tickled. Always felt a little bad when we had big dumps in 2018 and 2025 just over an hour to the east. Even 2022 was a pretty good hit here.
That feeling when you had a full crashout but go outside and it's snowing
