Idk about Charlotte but kannapolis city schools were closed about a week after, and a 2H delay the Monday following
I’m trying to decide if I’m jealous still. That’s…. A lot of snow. 33” I think he said?
Exactly. I was jealous last night. But after seeing one his videos that included this part..
Thanks! Compared to the last 5-6 years, then yes. In history of Blacksburg, no. We are still slightly below average on the season which is wild.
Thank goodness, this is when I will be in Florida for spring break. 80s here we come!
I loved the 80s. Good times.
such a fun storm. we were right on the line at my buddy's place just south of the beltline (u-suites for inquiring minds). it would flip from rain to the heaviest snow you've seen in your life every 30 minutes. there was thundersnow right around the time my friend decided to jump in the pool. got it on video. my reaction is out there on some snapchat memory or icloud server somewhere. it ended up busting a little low with the mixing but 10/10 for entertainment value11 years ago today we had the start of our winter storm in Raleigh! Ended up with 6.5 inches!! Was the most I had ever seen till the December 2018 storm of 8”

Agree with this 100% and ready for Spring!
The only thing that keeps me from giving this winter an A+ is the fact that I was outside in shorts and flip flops on Christmas Day. Can’t go lower than an A in a winter that gave me over 13.2” of snow IMBY including the earliest I have ever seen measurable snow with the 0.2” I got 11/10. Then the back to weekends to end January will be one of the favorite weeks of winter weather I’ve ever seen…. 1.3” of sleet/snow and 0.2” of ice accretion on 1/25 with temps in the upper teens and lower 20s including that line of convective sleet that came through that evening was fun to experience. Then 1/31 will be put up there with January 1988 for those of in the CLT metro. Over 18 hours straight of snowfall with temps in the upper teens, 11.7” of pure powder IMBY.
Here are some pics! The middle one is at my mom's house in the backyard. The others are from the front of my house!
It was a good one (in the Triad for me), we didn't see a single sleet pellet or mix at all where I was, which was a welcome change. I will always remember it, too, because I am pretty sure we were in the mid or maybe even upper 50s with full sunshine that day and by 10pm it was pouring heavy snow with a temp of 32-33 degrees. Quite a change!

Remembering it kind of hurts as that is the last time I saw 6"+ of snow.
Nope, I was in Florida from 2016-2019 before they became the snowshine state. I actually did get a dusting of snow in Tallahassee in 2018, though, which was there first accumulating snowfall (all of 0.1”, LOL) in 23 years at the time! Of course, they got a lot more (mostly IP) last winter.
It hurts me when I look at the various major snowstorms I missed while I lived in Florida. Now I’ve been back for over six years and we haven’t approached them. Oh well. Finally sort of hit one this year, but 4” doesn’t feel like winning so much when you’ve got double digit snowfall totals making basically a complete circle around you. Beggars can’t be choosers, though.
Yep, NHC upped the intensity from 160 to 165 knots (185 to 190 mph) in the Tropical Cyclone Report. This now makes Melissa tied with Allen (1990) for strongest Atlantic hurricane by 1-minute sustained winds.
Don't worry, Denver will probably get like 30" of snow in April and May to make up for it.
