When you look at 2018 I guess we didn't suck...but dang that snow hole in central GA up into SC.

Yeh man, I basically made an oath with myself after that disaster of wiffs that i would never allow weather to control my emotions negatively again. I was outside punching air with that January 3rd miss. I was convinced that storm was going to pull a 2000 & come further Northwest than modeled but it never did (at least for South Carolina) The icing on the cake was two weeks later, when it snowed in Atlanta, warmed nosed us, then snowed in Charlotte & dumped on the triangle of NC. But anyways lol

? for most RDU folks.
 
Not trying to be "negative" but realistic here. I just seems like we have been chasing rainbows and unicorns since Dec, and now here we are at the end of Jan, and the only real chance we had didn't work out. I certainly hope that Webb is right and we have some chances in Feb but I have truly lost all confidence in Feb for winter weather, especially after Valentine's day. These have been a tough two years for us winter weather lovers.
 
Idk I had 3 accumulating snows in March of 2018 and that was after that Feb mega torched. I don't think we can rule March out but obviously snow on March 13th has some different issues vs snow on Jan 13
Thank you for saying this. The idea that it can’t snow in March anymore is rediculous. In March 2017 I had a 3.2” snowfall on the 13th, 2 dustings in March 2018, and then 2.6” on 4/2/2019… those were all within just the last 8 years.

I do agree with this. I mentioned this yesterday, but cold patterns still produce cold. Anomalously cold patterns still produce anomalous cold. June '23 was a top 10-15 coldest month on record across the Mid-Atlantic.

Well it's not ridiculous to me, I've had zilch since 2009 IMBY. I'm sure it can snow in March, especially north of I-40 but for the CLT area I've only seen a few wet token flakes in a decade and a half in March. I think there's a reason for that.

Did you not get accumulating snow in March 2017 and 2018… I’m in southeastern Union County and got accumulating snowfalls both of those years. The two dustings in 2018 I thought was more up your way. I know the 4/2/2019 event I was just lucky enough to be in the very narrow stripe that really piled up in a hurry. Prior to 2017, the last time that I saw accumulating snow in March was back to back years in 2009 and 2010 when I was still living in Concord. I’m not saying it should be expected, what I’m saying is that it’s not that much less common now than it was 10 years ago.
 
12z GEFS had the best snow mean yet for this system. Euro shows a hit for the first time. If the EPS shows some noise then we at least have a realistic chance moving forward.
