In addition to the 11" snowstorm(which was accompanied by record breaking cold) on December 29, 1880, Charlotte received 4" of snow on Christmas Day 1880. There was also a Christmas Eve/Christmas Day snowstorm in the Southeast in 1876.There was a massive snowstorm right before New Years in December 1880 that dropped 11" of snow in the Charlotte metro area, unfortunately there aren't many records for other cities like Columbia, and Raleigh but the snowfall distribution probably didn't look all that dissimilar from January 1988.
