I hope that early winter pattern includes some snow for RDU even if it is just a few token flakes. My birthday is in November and I have never seen snow on my birthday in the sixty years I've lived. Maybe this will be the year.
You inspired me to do a little climate research. The earliest measurable snowfall at the RDU airport was November 6, 1953. On November 19, 2000 over two inches of snow was recorded and the highest snowfall amount ever recorded in November at RDU was a total of 3.6 inches on November 20, 1914. All of these dates are before my birthday. Looking at the records, the day before my birthday and the day after have measurable snowfall totals but my birthday gets no snowfall or respect like a famous comedian who shares the same birthday as me, Rodney Dangerfield.
I saw Rodney in Feb of 1981 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. We asked him to give us his autograph on a roll of toilet paper. He played along and did it! There will never again be another Rodney.
To segue to wx:
Earlier that winter, late Dec 1980-Jan 1981 was very cold with no Jan colder since then in much of the SE US. Charleston had a rare heavy snow in Dec and there was some ZR in SAV. GSO had a big snow in March of 1981. By transitivity the winter of 2025-6 has great potential. Ok, I realize this segue makes no sense but I wanted to make it wx related and post about Rodney, too.
Yea that was a good one I remember, and the earliest accumulation I've seen in the state in modern times.
If I recall, areas south of 85/40 got more due to heavier rates (ground temps obviously very warm). Also remember seeing a lot of snow not accumulating underneath trees which still had a lot of leaves on them.

I remember that day well. It was forecasted to be a light rain/snow mix which it started as in Concord around 8am. It went to all snow very quickly and got heavy by 10am. Didnt stop until early in the evening
I've seen flurries on Halloween a couple of times but the only real measurable one in my life was in 2000. It was 34 and raining and turned to coat the ground for an hour or two in Cartersville.
Latest AI has another overextension, which imo is actually a good thing, because eventually we are gonna go western ridge > AK ridge. I’m all for that occuring later in Nov
OP Euro says enjoy your november 80s clowns
