OTD in 1980
This is a reanalyzed map of the Mar 1980 storm I made last winter. 30" fell in Cherry Point NC, nearly 2 feet in Morehead City.

Yep - I was a junior in HS. My mother came in and woke me up, I thought for school. But she said “look out the window.” And there was 8” of snow on the ground. Still blows my mind. No local mets predicted it.Apparently even Atlanta got almost 8 inches of snow from that storm. Never even knew about this storm.

What was interesting about this storm is that the area between GSP up to the CLT metro, those heavy amounts fell almost entirely during the daytime after highs being in the 50s the day before... so much for warm ground temps and high sun angles.Yeah that is pretty close......found this map on WeatherUS and wow that's some seriously widespread heavy SE snow anytime of the year much less the last week of March...granted it has a 981 MB low just SE of Hatteras and this does not match the previous map I linked showing a much more widespread snow with bigger totals especially over NW NC etc

Geez. If we end up that close meteorological spring gets an F from me. In all seriousness though a little less push from the west coast and that would have been a great runIf we can get this PV lobe to dig back towards eastern TN/N GA instead of hanging out over northern VA, the Carolinas are gonna get smoked.

That lobe closing off is a new feature the ICON has cooked up.If we can get this PV lobe to dig back towards eastern TN/N GA instead of hanging out over northern VA, the Carolinas are gonna get smoked.

Willing to bet the gfs is too suppressed as usual.What a big difference with the mid week system 3k is nearly 2 inches of rain here the gfs is around .1
I would say perhaps start to see some good trends tomorrow if something is going to happen. I would like to start seeing a little bit from ensembles today.I’m liking where we sit today. I don’t really want good trends until Wednesday/Thursday.

Probably but the 3k has been inching south. I hadn't really paid attention until today. We just missed out on making an attempt at snow with that one tooWilling to bet the gfs is too suppressed as usual.
you mean snowing so hard it accumulated faster than it meltedI have seen it snow - and stick - in the low 40s. That one time... ?
Gfs is just a little too progressive to phase in time. The vortex over the NE is backing off which is helpful
