OTD in 1980
This is a reanalyzed map of the Mar 1980 storm I made last winter. 30" fell in Cherry Point NC, nearly 2 feet in Morehead City.

Yep - I was a junior in HS. My mother came in and woke me up, I thought for school. But she said “look out the window.” And there was 8” of snow on the ground. Still blows my mind. No local mets predicted it.Apparently even Atlanta got almost 8 inches of snow from that storm. Never even knew about this storm.

------ that is so close. Insane cold feed for a storm at the end of the first week of March w/ 1000-500mb thicknesses ~525 dm entering central NC. If we can get the precip here, it's probably going to snow.
What was interesting about this storm is that the area between GSP up to the CLT metro, those heavy amounts fell almost entirely during the daytime after highs being in the 50s the day before... so much for warm ground temps and high sun angles.

If we can get this PV lobe to dig back towards eastern TN/N GA instead of hanging out over northern VA, the Carolinas are gonna get smoked.
Geez. If we end up that close meteorological spring gets an F from me. In all seriousness though a little less push from the west coast and that would have been a great run
That lobe closing off is a new feature the ICON has cooked up.

I’m liking where we sit today. I don’t really want good trends until Wednesday/Thursday.

What a big difference with the mid week system 3k is nearly 2 inches of rain here the gfs is around .1

I would say perhaps start to see some good trends tomorrow if something is going to happen. I would like to start seeing a little bit from ensembles today.
Probably but the 3k has been inching south. I hadn't really paid attention until today. We just missed out on making an attempt at snow with that one too

Let me just say the last couple of days were amazing! Especially yesterday. Reached and afternoon high of 82. So I'm kind of in the camp of not wanting to go back to the cool damp pattern. Unfortunately it looks like that is exactly what is in store for tomorrow. More 40 degree rains? any sign of winter releasing its grip? Atleast until next winter.

you mean snowing so hard it accumulated faster than it melted
The GFS is going to be much more amped this run. Let's see if it can phase and bring down the cold.
Gfs is just a little too progressive to phase in time. The vortex over the NE is backing off which is helpful

Gfs not bad at all at this point. Anyone that knows what there looking at can see the potential.
