Still remember the sound of those transformers blowing all night during the ‘73 ice storm in Atlanta. I was seven years old and it was so eerie. Best I can find we got around 2” of freezing rain in that storm - we didn’t have power for 10 days!
So true. Some will cite jan 2018, but surface temps were in mid 30s and only dropped to 33 here during heaviest snow.
Yeah, but I want mine too dang it!
I don't remember 2014. I'm guessing there is a reason for that.
For me it was December 2002... 18 straight hours of light freezing rain with temps between 27-29
He just closed his facebook page down due to bickering, lol
Irmo gets crushed tho!
Charlotte metro is way overdue. This is by far the longest we've been without a major ice storm in my lifetime.
Thanks. About 5" here. And it probably mixed with sleet or something.
The ULL that pulled through CLT in this storm produced the heaviest snow I’ve ever seen in my life. I drove up to a friends from CAE and drove through it. It was an insane way to cap off a 3 day Winter event.
It was a much bigger storm for CLT metro up to the Triad and back towards the mountains and upstate SC. Big front end thump of snow followed by a sleetfest then another bout of heavy snow from an upper low... temps were in the 20s for most of the storm. Wasn’t nearly as big for Raleigh because of low tracked inside Cape Hatteras. It happened with a +NAO, so I would think with a -NAO in a similar storm, the low would track further east.
Can’t handle the heat stay out of the kitchen
He was the ultimate bittercaster about snow for 30 years. After all the ATL mets got so much crap about the December ‘17 surprise snow storm, he’s done a complete 180. I really think he does it with an element of spite, as in “fine, you want me to hype the snow every time and watch you get your soul crushed 90% of the time? Happy to oblige.”
I like the new Burns
It really has been a long time. The last one that I can remember that had widespread 1/4”+ accrual in the Metro area was December 2005. We’ve had plenty forecasted since then, but we’ve been saved by getting more sleet than anticipated.
I gotta politely disagree with ya on this one. Not sure whose more deserving in our lonely state but in Feb 2010 Columbia had a 10" snow. Its been since 88 since most of us in the nw corner have had a double digit snow fall. Yes weve had our 2,3 and a 4" snow here and there but no blockbusters. Almost as bad as Fayetville but with elevation. But i always pull for my buddy Robert West down in the armpit regardless. Anywhoo the timeframe from the 7th to the 12th looks like a britchesbuster no doubt!
