GSO is about to enter into the top 5 longest snow-less streaks on record. Hopefully we come nowhere near the longest streak (Dec. '89-Feb. '93)

Its honestly pretty crazy. It's not like we have been getting some flurries we've gotten nothing. Even some of the duds that I can remember had flurries and car toppers.

looks like the upcoming decade is going to be worse than the 90's snow drought.

That’s a pretty low bar. We just have to avoid getting almost skunked the next 2 years...assuming we goose egg this year.

How funny would that be if we trail the first 3 years of the 90’s come 2 years from now.

Member 18 on the GEFS gives 4 (almost 5) snowstorms for parts of the southeast between January 31 and February 8. I can only imagine the chaos that would occur if that actually happened.

If only it didn't have the resolution of an Atari. :(

Yeap I said that before and I bet it has to do with the warming skewing the mean towards more rain vs snow which was marginal to begin with.

Happy to have been able to use my new snow shovel this year!

How is that possible when CLT has never had a snowless year according to Panovich? Surely GSO hasn't went 3 years with no measurable snow.

Don’t know but it’s technically 2 full winters without snow. There was a snow in mid December 1989 and then not again until February ‘93. So, the winters of 90/91 and 91/92 were snowless. This is according to Tim Buckley (local TV met).

Wait until teenage years. I have three daughters aged 17, 16 (in two weeks), and 14. The oldest’s car’s tranny crapped the bed so she’s been driving my 4X4 truck to school and work (headed to a salvage yard in Knightdale next Friday to get a transmission for her). The middle one wants a truck and is getting her license. The youngest starts drivers education this coming fall. FML

Wow! Must be true then! GSO must have just been unlucky. GSP had 3.8 in Jan 91. Only a trace in 91-92 so I don't count that. Panovich counts a trace as measurable snow in CLT.
