Yeah the airport just missed double digits in 2013-2014, though most of the metro area had over 10”+.

I'm surprised you guys didn't reach it in Feb 2015, which was one of coldest February's in a long time
I'm not saying I'd sell my soul for another 2002-2003 but you might get a finger out of me

Yes cold air is dry, You want low 30s vs low 20s. We like pancake flakes and no dandruff flakes.
Would gladly take 2002-2003 or 2003-04
We got screwed by the warm nose in that late February storm and only ended up with 1-2” when 8–12” was forecast

Lots of sleet then 1-2 inches ain't bad
Same in Fort Mill. I was living just around the corner from carowinds and that was the exact wrong spot to be. Swung between sleet and snow all night.

Pretty sure this was the one where every single gefs ensemble member had me getting over 8 inches 24 hours out. I think I got 8 snow flakes.Biggest screw job for Triangle was January 2017. Huge bust.
I had just moved to Davidson and it was like “wow, so this is how the other half lives”.
Here in eastern Union County, it was the same with the ensembles. The NAM and HRRR both started picking up on that warm nose about 18-24 hours out. The worst part for me was that the Winter Storm Warning actually did verify for me because I ended up with over a .25” ice accumulation when ZR wasn’t even in the forecast. The 6-8” of snow that was forecast ended up being .5” on top of the ice

Some of the heaviest rates I’ve ever seen were in this one in Jan 2017. It was 2-3 inch hour type rates a bit after midnight to 2 AM. Wind picked up and it started snowing hard with medium size flakes, then the wind died down and chicken feathers started dropping down. It was a sight

So close
Euro control was super close
I remember the snow starting at 3 in the afternoon and then continuing until dark before the changeover to sleet. The Weather Channel's futurecast expected a changeover to snow again, but it never happened. I got 5 inches in central Alamance, while the northern part of the county got 10... it was painful but not nearly as bad as what some folks experienced.Biggest screw job for Triangle was January 2017. Huge bust.

I don’t see this system happening but with correct trends (a little stronger PNA with it a tad more west, stronger energy, etc.) things could happen.

I ended up with a solid 10 inches of snow out of the January 2017 storm and avoided the warm nose which is rare in this neck of the woods. 8/10 times you always get a warm nose or dry tongue. That was the 2nd best snowstorm around here in the last 10 years only behind Dec 2018 which dumped 11.5 inches but ended up with the warm nose early that morning and everything went over to sleet and freezing rain or would of easily ended of with another couple inches on top of the 11.5

If the Jan 18 storm hadn’t happened the year after, I think I’d be more scarred than I am about that one but WHEW boy that was an ugly ugly night on the boards for the Triangle properBiggest screw job for Triangle was January 2017. Huge bust.
