Similar evolution for the 09/10 winter which ended up being a record breaking seasonal -NAO at -2.7 for DJF.

I hope 2018 ends the trend of warm, snowless Decembers in the Raleigh area for the past 7 years. Raleigh hasn’t seen a notable December snowfall since 2010. Last year we were mostly shut out on the December 8-9 system, with the bulk of the event being a 33-34 degree rain ending with a brief snow flurry.
 
I do not understand why I don’t see any images on that page. I clicked on every link and can’t find the maps. The link is just a long wall of text.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Lol.

Good lord. I went about half way down and thought, surely the maps wouldn’t be all the way down at the bottom where it takes 5 minutes to find them!

But they were worth the wait, I guess. Thanks for posting the image!! Looks amazing.

Where’s the index gifs???? I would love to see one with all these great looks! Maybe a dumb and dumber related one for each!??
 
This winter does seem more promising than the last El Niño (2015-16). That year, we remained in the 50s/60s/70s all the way through New Years with only about an inch and a half of total snowfall. This Nov/Dec looks MUCH colder than 2015 and is more akin to 2009.

I hope this pattern translates into snow, but it's very possible we end up with cold rain or ice instead. With the way things have been the last few years I wouldn’t be surprised if we don't see any flakes until January even if it is cooler than normal this December.

Yep, the thing is, more actually fell. We had the first round in the morning, but half of it melted. The 2" hr rates hit that afternoon. My wife measured 9" on the well house the next morning.

Some places in East Central AL got over a foot from the Dec 8th storm

Yeah and the flip side, we payed for it. It did more tree damage than all the severe thunderstorms in the past ten years combined. Took two big limbs to the roof, but escaped major damage. My shop on the other hand took a pretty good wallop.
 
Last years snow was so beautiful. And the next day it was a bright, sunny day which made it look even more beautiful.

You should have reported that. It’s not on any official records or databases. So you’re basically the only one who knows 9” fell there lol.
