[LukeBarrette]

kind of confused at all the doom and gloom this morning... i feel great!

I’m feeling pretty confident at this moment, no reason to feel bad just yet.

 

[Thor]

Virginia guys feeling confident.....nice.

 

[ILMRoss]

it was low of me tbh, i spent years growing up in wilmington in fear of the raleigh guys being happy and then years in raleigh fearing the roanoke guys being happy. now i am laughing from richmond. die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

 

[mrdaddyman]

We're trending to no storm this morning. Better than cold rain any day.

Yep, 12z GFS trending a little north and weaker.

 

[Brick Tamland]

I was just thinking this morning we really need more rain with temps around 40.

 

[Webberweather53]

I hope this trends to heavy thunderstorms for you guys. Better than cold rain.

 

[FallsLake]

12z GFS day 7 kuchera totals:


Richmond looks good but still a drop from 6z.

 

[Brick Tamland]

So, yeah, even 7 days out is too far to count on anything positive.

Warm and dry would be even better. Most of this winter has been rainy, cloudy, and dreary. But we do have a better shot at getting severe storms here in winter now than we do snow.

I get it. I grew up along 85 in Gaston County and I would hate it when the Lenoir crew were happy. Don’t even get me started on seeing all the mountain and foothill school cancellations.

Now I’m seven miles north of 85 and only nine miles from the TDF airport, which seems to be golden goose of the piedmont.

That kuchera map is still more than I’ve seen all year

needs to be within 5 days.

Don't worry, we going to see something frozen out of this next week...even if I have to fling some ice cubes up in the air.

Yep, at least it's something. I've never seen a year where we're totally blanked. Don't want to start this year...

This will be the first winter I've blanked on accumulations since 2012/2013 if it comes to fruition. Really paid for the epic 2010/2011 winter with back to back horrible winters. Last winter was the best since 2010/2011 so maybe this and next year are screwed.

 

[rburrel2]

That being said... there's still lots of time. Looking back at my notes, Feb 11-16th has been a great timeframe for winter storms here over the last 15 years.

Meanwhile here we haven't had a good snow since Feb 2020, it's been awhile. All "storms" have been an inch or less here since.
