Misc Winter 22-23 Whamby and Banter Thread Part 2

I mean i'm ok with a little freezing rain, but i dont want a crippling ice storm. I do however, always wish for a crippling snow storm ?
I’m good with all winter weather as long as the power stays on. The rolling blackouts around Christmas when it was 8 degrees outside at noon was a very unsettling feeling. Luckily it never stayed off for more then 30 minutes.

And yet people want that kind of cold back. Duke Energy almost lost their entire system that Saturday. Many had their power off for 12 hours or more. We are on one of the smaller companies and did not have the rolling blackouts, but it may be different the next time.
 
amazing how 2022 was a great winter, top 3 winter for me. 3 weekend accumulating snows in a row then This winter can’t even get a decent snow shower

This year has just been a huge dud. Not really exceptionally warm, just very boring, no real threats.

I am hopeful Nino next year at least improves Eastern cold. But I know it's not going to be great.

We need a neutral ENSO state for December 2023 and January 2024. That would be our best bet, I think.
 
I am so tired of all the rain. If it isn't going to snow it could at least be dry. And it doesn't look like it's going to snow at all this winter. Don't tell me we have until March because I don't remember the last time my area had a good snowstorm in March.

March 1rst 1980 for me

March 2, 2009 for Raleigh proper, I think.
 
I'll put this in the Whamby thread for those of us looking for digital snow. Looks like all of the members of the 18z GEFS have at least flurries on the cold chasing moisture setup. I'm sure it will all disappear so enjoy!

Dallas just has more interesting weather than Atlanta. It gets hotter in Dallas, colder in Dallas, more snow and ice in Dallas, more severe weather in Dallas, etc.

Maybe you should move there since you mention it so much. Most of their storms are smallish icing events like this. Their cold can be more extreme but it can also get a lot warmer in winter. Give me the southeast any day.

I didnt realize smallish icing events were worthy of being under a Winter Storm Warning.
 
I wonder if this melted by noon the next day?View attachment 131936
I can confirm that is a big fat NO. Lol it snowed for 2 days, temps in teens and low 20s. It's my Carolina crusher, we had drifts 3 feet deep, it was amazing!!
