Yeah I still think last winter was worse... All that hype and waiting for nothing... just wait til "___" was prevalent

Dunno about everyone else but I never have been hyped about this winter after that debacle

Last winter at least had a winter storm for a significant amount of the southeast in early December, and was somewhat cooler. This winter has had nothing notable outside of the mountains aside from a few token flakes in mid-November for a few areas.

fair... there was no storm over here so I guess that's where I'm coming from

2020 has been plagued with warm Miller A’s..I think this puts the “Give me moisture first.” argument to rest

You always, always, always need the cold in first and something to lock it in for as long as possible. You need the coldest you can get, too, as it will always be modified a great deal. Then take your chances with moisture. Cold is always first, primary and essential. Moisture is about the 3rd or 4th component.
 
This winter isn’t even in the same ballpark as last winter as bad as it was. At least last January was close to normal temp wise and we even had a snow shower or two. I’ve never seen anything like this and I would t be surprised if KATL has as little as ten freezes this winter season.

This is complete and total poop. This winter is horrific without question. We have daffodils in bloom as well as cherry blossoms. There have been mosquitoes as well.

I've got a daffodil that just opened and I'm starting to think the maples are about to bud out as well. This is just ridiculous. I hope we at least have a cooler than normal summer.

Cooler summers do not exist anymore either. Warmth wins year round now.
 
The GFS, yet again shows another fantasy historical winter storm in the southeast by mid February. These "winter storms" keep getting pushed back, when are we going to get something that's not in the 2 week range? I do think the southern branch is going to remain active, but the real question is, will we get the cold? I'm not going to get sucked in this time around.

I think ur right we need those cold and big beautiful high pressures to come streaming down... we’ve been dominated by low pressure all winter and maybe some 1030 highs up in New England ... Gfs brings the goods with the high pressures down the road + the continuing active jet and you can see what you get out of it ... question is if we really actually get those high pressures ?

Oh well! I've upset a lot of people the other day when I didn't buy the fantasy storm for the 7th when the GFS kept spitting it out. We're in trouble through mid February. But at least the PV may get shaken up by then and after it dumps into the northern Rockies its anyone's guess what happens then.
 
I've earned quite a reputation for being a debbie downer and a pessimist over my year on here. I'm not I assure you! I was an epic weenie and had my parents believing we were getting 30 inches of snow back in 2011 from a fantasy GFS run!
Since I've learned the hard way and in no way shape or form take these models at face value and to focus on pattern recognition. Most know that but some on here don't. The great JB says it's all about pattern recognition as well. Problem is he only sees favorable patterns for reasons probably relating to padding his pockets. There is no way he believes some of the things he spews. With that said I hope the board can see the optimistic side of me sooner rather than later. We'll get a good pattern one day.

I remember the 2004 system in Raleigh. I was a freshman at State and we played snow football next to the cultural center. We didn’t get but about 5-6 inches total from it due to a lengthy sleet changeover though.

Interesting take. Raleigh’s has had a lot of big events since 2000...by my count 10 of those 19 years had a 4”+ event with all 10 of those winters above climo (6”) for the season. 7 of those years had a 6”+ event. We would be crushing it if the Feb’s had been producing too. Maybe we turn that around in the next couple of seasons.
 
Disappointing watching the radar light up with echoes just to my south, we were close to actually having something...
