i take pains to be a well behaved northern latitude guy. i remember growing up in wilmington and reading these forums and knowing the only way i was scoring is if everyone was like "gah too suppressed". distinctly remember shutting my laptop once bc big frosty was ecstatic at a run and thats when i knew i was toast

I can remember my first winter in Davidson after growing up really close to 85 in Gaston County. Man it felt like I'd finally made it. From then on out, I determined I would always live at the most advantageous latitude I could wherever I ended up. Just so happens, Northern Durham county reminds me alot of home so we settled here.

Taylor Swift has ruined football and now the weeklies. Yes, I blame her.

What a crappy "winter" this turned out to be. This has been 2011-2012 bad. I put it below last year since I at least had 3 traces of snow and a cold Christmas week.

2012 was a banner year...we got 1" from this event...that winter will be the gold standard moving forward.

I also want to apologize to GaWx....he was steadfast that the PNA/EPO was a far bigger variable on our snow than the AO/NAO. Clearly he was right...I was wrong. Maybe pre-1990 the AO/NAO was bigger but now its all about the PNA/EPO..

Logan was right

It appears that some people don’t want to see me win on a marginal clipper event. I guess if yall can’t win then I can’t either

 

[LukeBarrette]

Logan was right

I would send this to him but I don’t want to boost his already inflated ego

When was the last time we had a true west based -nao

We have gotten snow many times with just a +PNA/-EPO and +NAO but when have we gotten snow with just a -NAO, -PNA, +EPO.

It could still shift the next 48 hours.

Exactly. It’s more clear to me than ever that a functioning west-based -NAO is the most important because we haven’t had one in 13 years now. My RDU 6” analogs clearly show what a functioning one does to the pattern. We just don’t get them anymore.

We can all be losers, but at least we are together.

Probably one of the jan 22 systems would be a guess

2000 ft in Blacksburg has the ability to surprise but we will see

 

[SnowNiner]

Logan was right

Anybody who says it's not going to snow and be very cold in the SE is going to be right 95% of the time.

Or drive up to Mountain Lake.
