This winter was a disappointment for snow lovers. For the first time in recorded history, no snow was reported at RDU – not even a trace! Records go back to 1887. It's been more than two full years – 763 days – since there has been any measurable snow (Jan. 29, 2022 saw .4 inches) at Raleigh-Durham International Airport. This is the third-longest snow drought on record at RDU.

Wilmoth said winter 2023-24 was warm (tied for the fourth warmest on record) and wet. Although moisture has been in place, it never lined up with any cold snaps. March 1 marks the beginning of meteorological spring, pushing the likelihood for a snowfall this season even further down the charts. There have been 12 other winters with no measurable snow, but they still had a trace at RDU.
