That's the third longest snow drought for the Triangle on record!

The second longest lasted nearly 3 years from 1948-1950.

The longest gap without snow in the Triangle happened between Dec. 14, 1989 and Feb. 19, 1993. That was a period of 1,164 days without measurable snow.

For our current streak to beat that record, we'll have to get through the rest of this winter and all of next winter without winter weather. The specific date that would break the record is April 8, 2025.
