That one was fun. I wasn't expecting more than a few flurries. I woke up and school was still on as scheduled (I was in high school at the time). Then WCPSS announced a 2 hour delay around 6:10am. Temperatures were in the low-mid 20s and it was a very fine powder. By 7am roads were quickly covered and WCPSS canceled school.

I remember this one well because the rgem and nam were the only models that had anything until about go time. If I remember correctly it snowed just about all day
 
To avoid cluttering the Feb thread with this, curiosity got the best of me and I went through IEM to see how many svr tstorm warnings were issued for each county in the GSP CWA from 1/1/20–12/31/20. Generally, the counties are oriented by state from west->east as the crow flies.

TLDR, the top 5 most warned counties were Spartanburg SC (53), Greenville SC (50), Mecklenburg NC (43), York SC (43), Laurens SC (42). The SC counties generally had more warnings than even the more warned NC counties, and GA barely had any (Rabun GA led the way with 14). I found this pretty interesting, I really love the seemingly random dynamics of pop up storms. At some pt I may go back and see what % occurred in summer storm season (May-August) and what % occurred outside that window.

Why do I feel like this will be one of those years where it's 100-105 the first week of June and I hate summer for the next 4 months

I feel like we torch in May, but our severe threats will come from NW flow/shortwaves passing to our NE, more typical of a Nina (2011 for ex)

Huh? I’m 18, senior in high school. I get out of school early because I only have 5 classes, and I drive myself home
