Misc Winter Weather Support Group

In mid-Jan folks east of the mountains missed out because the big stupid low wouldn't shift east....now we have a big stupid ridge that shifted too far east screwing us up.

We need to shake up our luck and sacrifice a virgin or something...any volunteers.

Chat GPT says we are still looking good for snow! ?

Yes, it looks like there's a good chance for snow in Durham, NC, this winter. According to the WRAL winter weather outlook for 2023-24, this winter is expected to be slightly cooler than normal due to a strong El Niño pattern, which often brings more snow to the area. Historically, strong El Niño years have resulted in above-average snowfall for the region, with predictions this year suggesting 5 to 7 inches of snow, mostly likely in January [oai_citation:1,2023-24 NC snow outlook: A colder winter and good news for snow lovers](https://www.wral.com/story/how-much-snow-NC-2023-24/21128901/).

The Old Farmer's Almanac's extended weather forecast supports this, indicating that winter temperatures will be above normal overall, but with the best chances for snow occurring in late January and mid-February. The forecast for February specifically mentions possible snow showers early in the month and a snowstorm around February 10-12, with temperatures for the month being slightly below average [oai_citation:2,60-Day Extended Weather Forecast for Durham, NC | Almanac.com](https://www.almanac.com/weather/longrange/NC/Durham).

So, if you're hoping for snow in Durham this winter, the forecast looks promising!

I told it it is early February and we haven’t had any snow yet, and it said:

If it's already early February and Durham, NC, hasn't seen any snow yet, there's still a chance for snowfall before the winter ends. The forecast for February 2024 from The Old Farmer's Almanac indicates that there could be snow showers at the start of the month and a potential snowstorm around February 10-12. Even without snow so far, the weather patterns can change rapidly, especially given the predicted strong El Niño conditions this year, which increase the likelihood of snowfall during the winter months [oai_citation:1,60-Day Extended Weather Forecast for Durham, NC | Almanac.com](https://www.almanac.com/weather/longrange/NC/Durham).

The absence of snow up to this point doesn't rule out the possibility of seeing some before winter's end. Weather forecasts, especially those related to snow in regions that do not receive it regularly, can be quite variable. It's also worth noting that the historical data and current forecasts suggest that late January through February is a prime window for snow in Durham during strong El Niño years, as mentioned in the WRAL weather outlook [oai_citation:2,2023-24 NC snow outlook: A colder winter and good news for snow lovers](https://www.wral.com/story/how-much-snow-NC-2023-24/21128901/).

Keep an eye on local weather updates as the month progresses, as forecasts can become more precise with closer proximity to potential snow events.
 
It’s February 2nd and I’m sitting on the couch watching TV with the front door propped all the way open. What a winter. Who got them ensemble means?
 
Look in the mirror and think about this hobby for a second. For 3 ****ing months we checked models 4x a day and looked at soundings, weeklies, strat warming, frozen meteor smoke, MJO, NAO, EPO, PNA, 250mb wind, MSLP, 500mb, etc… we did ALL of that and searched and scratched and clawed and tracked an INVISIBLE storm that NEVER HAPPENED. I don’t know what this is anymore.
