Misc Winter 22-23 Whamby and Banter Thread Part 2

More pictures from the ice storm.
These are blurry cause I was driving but everything remained cased in ice last night.

This is from this morning with sun finally out glistening off the ice in the trees. Temp is 29 at noon so probably will have another day of at least some ice remaining on the trees. We’ve had ice / ZR on the trees here since Monday night so pretty much all week. I’ve had snow on the ground this long but don’t ever remember having ZR remain in the trees this long.

Wow that's incredible. And yet almost none of this is plunging south. MBY is only forecast to get down to 22, just a run of the mill passage for early Feb.

The kind of cold like we had at Christmas can just stay out of this area. 22 is cold enough.

Don’t forget the 2014 Ice storm. There were winter storm warnings for the entire FL panhandle.

Good point, yes! It seems like it’s easier for the panhandle to get icing events than snow, unfortunately. Usually when they see snowfall it’s just flurries.

Fun up on Beech today. Looks like most of that manmade snow is just blowing away.

Nice, I hope there’s some snow left when I go skiing in a few weeks. ?

Look how bad the 1990s were:

Has there ever been a winter in Greensboro with no snow?

And, for Greensboro, at least, the 2010s were actually a pretty good snow decade. ?‍

Beautiful day up in the Roan Highlands. 19 degrees with 40 mph gusts.

I love watching video of the 93 blizzard. One of these days we'll get another blizzard.

The last decade before this one was honestly the best since the 80s.

Only 198 hours away, what can go wrong?

Low will be in Michigan by tomorrow

Agree, although it seemed like the 2010s snows were marginal temped, whereas the 80s snows were colder. It would take Webb and others to verify that though, as I’m going off of memory and feel so to speak.

Same here, lol

I agree. That kind of cold never comes with snow here and we sacrificed the whole winter to get that apparently ?‍

198 hours and the operational GFS. What could go wrong? ?

 

[Tarheel1]

How can anybody live in iowa in winter?? It’s sooooo cold! ?????????

Another 7 to 8 day mirage on the models.

Why is this in the Everything Else forums now? And what happened to the other emoticons?

Does anybody have a good site for tracking the Chinese balloon. It may pass right over some of us today. I found some sites, but they're static and don't get updated.

Mount Washington recorded a new record low of -47.1 this morning breaking the old record of -32.

North Carolinas historical record low is -34 in 1987. So before last night we had Mount Washington beat.
