Outside of the winter event this past December.... In the past 15 years, Columbia has had more snow than your current locale. What you mentioned is the BEST way for Columbia to receive snow. Not exactly the ONLY way.

How much snow has CAE had in the past 15 years? I know they had 9" in 2010, a couple in 2011, and roughly 4" total in 2013.

I'll have to go back and add for here. I know we had 12" total in 2009 and 10" this year, so that's 22", but I'll have to do some research when I have time to go back to 03.
 
I'm not going to speak for Cola, but I will say this, overrunning works for almost everyone on this board, it's just when you get into CAD areas/East Georgia/Carolinas, it might start as rain or ice.

Like what Arcc explained to me, with overrunning, it's not locale that matters, it's the arctic front.
 
Using extremes in a small sampling of data to decide if Columbia or Marietta get more snow is the incorrect way to do it. The 10" freak storm will skew it for Mariettas favor in this situation.

Go check it out, and come back with legit numbers. The numbers could be skewed due to 2009 and this past December, but overall my assertions are on point. I don't quite have time to research it myself right now, but I'm fairly confident that's the deal.
 
Data needs to be collected for both locales between 1900 - 2017, average those numbers out and see what you come up with. Might be surprised, they may not be too far apart. I'd just divide the whole # by 117 (# of years).

Exactly! We must've hit "post reply" at the same time. I remember this guy, as he use to always complain (on the other board) about the heat and snow (or, in his opinion, lack of) when he resided in Columbia.

12" in Marietta in 2009 ? I think Carrollton had about 1/2".

That's a good way of doing it, Shawn. I don't doubt one bit they aren't too far apart, with CAE having the edge.

I've been here all my life (nearly 45 years), and although, getting snow on the regular isn't always in the cards, there have been some good-to-great snowy events during my lifetime in the Columbia area.

Eh, that ridiclous 1973 would skew it.

It might would just be best to only count events that weren't extremes. Like, anything over 4 inches, being omitted might take care of it. IDK, @GaWx and @Webberweather53 are better at this stuff than me.
 
Looks like another wasted day out of school for those school districts in East AL that closed. They knew the snow wouldnt start until after school was out and still decided to close anyway. Its no wonder AL is almost last in education.
