The drought is over...

I only need between 1.25 -1.50 rest of January to have 8+ for the second month in a row. That 4.1 in one day earlier this month did the trick.
Was thinking with 16 inches of qpf for Dec and Jan using a 10:1 ratio. MBY has had a shot at 160 inches of snow. And to date I have zilch to show for it. Swing and a miss all 160 inches so far.
You'd have bet huge bets that with all the below normal temps
(save the last 3 days) & above normal precip that at least one nominal event would've happened NW of 85.

Had an awesome first experience with some sea fog today. Left my house it was 84 degrees. As we approached the beach about 10 miles inland still we could see the fog bank. As we drove into it the temp crashed all the way down to 62 and at times we couldn't see the houses alone the beach while on the beach. It was quite a sight.

That is horrible. GSP has had 13.59 inches of rain when combining Jan last year and Jan this year, yet not even a single sleet pellet has fallen. You really can get more unlucky than that

Looks like most stations near Atlanta and through the western carolinas are still below normal for the month. I am very sure I remember several posters telling me that couldnt happen.

Yes, I was one of those that thought the warm spell would bring up our average. I was wrong and it did not. I'm still solidly below average this month and will most definitely finish about 4 to 5 degrees below normal.
What will Feb temps look like, I wonder?
Sad that we are going to be welll below normal with much much above normal in Jan and still can't snow.

We realistically, just missed by about 500 miles to our west here in January. That could have been our storm that broke the snow drought here. It was close. It's not unusual at all to go below normal in temps and not snow. We can go above normal in temps AND score a significant snow, too. Snow in the deep south is just rare no matter what conditions persist.
I understand.
My childhood & even 20's - 40's self remembers differently but apparently I was born during or shortly after a mini ice age for the Western Carolinas & NE Ga region.
One thing is certain it has been very bad the past 5-9 years this area.

Seeing that river of cold January just faceplant in TN before it gets to the carolinas, shame. Hopefully we can get one week in February that will come east and give us a storm. I don't need March, just one solid cold and stormy week in February, dang it. Lol.

15 inches of liquid for January at 3000feet elevation on the NC/SC border, with below normal temp mean for the month. And they maybe saw a few northwest flow flurries break containment?
What are the odds of that?

The columns dont line up right. Far right is snow depth, 2nd to right is daily snow, and third to right is daily precip
I would say that pretty much all and if not more of that 3.2 above average is from the 24-28th. Without that, RDU probably ends up slightly below average for the month.

Tempest reports from my yard:

Well I got 1/3 right. I nailed the temp departure for KATL. I was predicting -0.5 BN I was 1 inch too low on the precip. I would have been right on the mark if I stuck with my initial prediction of 6.4 inches.??
