yep same here, normally weve had some sort of snow here but nope, nothing. So, in my infuriation i contacted Mike Moss, our local weatherman to see why he wont make it snow, his response:
BRONCOSI, I wish I could tell you something more definitive, but when it comes to snow more than a few days in the future, we (not just WRAL, but meteorologists in general) just plain don't know. As for the temps in the 60s, they aren't quite as unusual here as you might think. If we continued at the same average temperature we've seen so far this month, it would clock in as the 4th warmest January since records began at the RDU airport in 1949. When you check it against the entire "Raleigh" climate history, it doesn't even make the top 5. Even so, making the #4 spot for RDU does represent a very warm month. As far as the future goes, we've been seeing long range indicators of a significant pattern shift in early February for about a week now. Those can prove to be misleading on occasion, but if this one holds true it would represent a major transition to below-normal temperatures during the first week or two of that month. There's no way to tell for now whether the cold would be timed so as to combine with storm systems to produce a big snow. Anything farther out into later Feb or Mar would just be guessing on my part at this point. Keep your fingers crossed!
Mike
so basically hes telling me we are going to have a GYNORMOUS snow storm in the first 2 weeks of Febuary . . . . .
Let's try to get to Paragon soon!
