I am curious if the mjo does actually go into the cod, will the models start to catch on with the future pattern?
IF we also got a repeat of the storm right before Christmas 1989, most folks from I-95 and east would be happy.I’m beginning to get a bit of Nov.-Dec. 1989 feel with the way this pattern is modeled to unfold right now. That was a LaNina winter that saw November start out very mild like this one has and saw things turn much colder for Thanksgiving... there was even an ice storm for the NC Mountains and northern foothills the day before Thanksgiving from a storm that dumped snow on the Macy’s parade in NYC. Then of course December was very cold that year with several winter events for NC/SC which of of course culminated with the coastal blizzard on the day before Christmas Eve. The rest of that winter sucked, but December was definitely exciting
Believe it or not I used the be one of those optimists about 10 years ago. Letdown after letdown has made me the the pessimist I am now! And its gonna take a couple big winters to change that! My backyard has a better chance at hitting 115 degrees in my lifetime than getting another 26 inch snowstorm like 1886.I love this time of year because people are so full of hope and are excited about all of the possibilities. Unfortunately in most years reality doesn't match what people hope for.

I just really like snowOnly reason I’m a optimist is that nice near 8 inches of snow I got in December 2018
That was a good one! Unfortunately I haven't had snow in the ground since.Only reason I’m a optimist is that nice near 8 inches of snow I got in December 2018
Screwjob here. Did y’all not get a trace in any of this flizzards this past winter?That was a good one! Unfortunately I haven't had snow in the ground since.
Maybe a trace and that's about it. I wasn't home for 2 of the 3 flizzards but by the time I got home that evening there was nothing. The last one in Feb had a light dusting on the car tops that melted right when it stopped. ?Screwjob here. Did y’all not get a trace in any of this flizzards this past winter?
Damn, I’m sad you missed the one on 1/31. Snowed bout the hardest I’d seen in a whileMaybe a trace and that's about it.

That must have been the one where places in Oconee County got 6 inches?Damn, I’m sad you missed the one on 1/31. Snowed bout the hardest I’d seen in a while
I’m not 100% sure if it was that one. Somebody in Spartanburg Co recorded 3.5” on 1/31That must have been the one where places in Oconee County got 6 inches?
There was a good event early in the month too for the western and central Carolinas also going into the 2nd weekend of the month... I remember it coming in on a Friday because it was actually a bust on the good side for Charlotte metro. We were supposed to see all rain, but the rain changed to heavy sleet and snow late in the morning and quickly accumulated. Schools dismissed early but roads in Concord/Kannapolis were already snow covered by the time buses were running. The precip went back and forth between snow, sleet, and freezing rain through Saturday evening. There were a couple smaller events that happened over the next couple weeks before the coastal storm happened, but this was the one that I remember most.IF we also got a repeat of the storm right before Christmas 1989, most folks from I-95 and east would be happy.
Yeah thats it. The one I was home for must have been later around mid Feb. CJ was calling for up to 3 inches and it didn't change over until 4:30 pm and quit by 6. Raleigh got 2-4 out of that event I believe but were supposed to get 6 if I remember correctly.@RainlessSnowless & Grumpy here it is. We got consistent small flakes here and a trace

The 6z was not far off from providing a big winter storm outside the mountains. It shows a miller B setup with the low traversing just a little too far to the NW before the transfer, and the NE high moving out too fast. It was a great improvement form the run before; especially with the CAD setup. **But way too far out for the details. We just need to keep monitoring.Watching this time frame as Webb been mentioning
