Raleigh,N.C. is ready to see snow..........

[NCGal]

Is there any possibility that Raleigh,N.C. will get any this winter? If so I sure hope it's a big one. What are your thoughts? Comments welcome and thanks in advance.

Im sure RDU will get some measurable snow this season, and the way the pattern appears to be evolving this may be the big one you are lookin for

I'm pretty sure that Raleigh will have shots of seeing snow this winter, as generally with every winter ... Raleigh, NC averages 7 inches of snowfall per year ...

From the NWS Eastern Region Headquarters
CLIMATE: Being centrally located between the mountains on the west, and the coast on the south and east, the Raleigh area enjoys a favorable climate. There are a few days in the heart of the winter season when the temperature falls below 20 degrees. While snow and sleet usually occur each year, excessive accumulation of snow is rare. Rainfall is well distributed throughout the year. July has, on the average, the greatest amount of rainfall, and November the least. There are times in the spring and summer when soil moisture is scanty. This usually results from too many days between rains rather than from a shortage of total rainfall. Most summer rain is produced by thundershowers, which may occasionally be accompanied by strong winds, intense rains and hail. Average high temperatures range from the lower 50s in the winter to the upper 80s in the summer. Average lows range from the upper 20s in the winter to near 70 in the summer. Average rainfall is just over 42 inches a year and average snowfall is 7 inches per year.

Yes, Raleigh will see significant snows this season, perhaps this Month. Just wait a little.

What big one?

It is hard to say.......................

I don't think you will see much......if any..this year.

Temps have been very mild to warm so far this year.

I really would not put any money on it if I was asked to.

Sorry for the bad news.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. Outside of this fall, 2003 has been a very cool year in the carolinas. Even this December the departure from normal here in the CLT area has floated between -5.5 to -6.5. We'll probably get a good snow here, I just think it'll wait till the period from mid january to mid february like it always seems to do.

We are only 16.4% through meteorological winter and astronomical winter begins a week from today, next Monday, December 22nd at 2:04 am EST. Even if temperatures have been warmer, (more) snow and ice storms are definitely possible in the coming weeks.

Leigh, what the hell are you talking about? It is very likely RDU will see significant snow in the next few weeks.
