Man you would have loved it. 93 blizzard, sw Rutherford county 16.5 inches of snow 2-4ft drifts, 60+ mph wind gusts. Full blown whiteout blizzard conditions from noon to about 4-5 pm with temps dropping into the lower twentys during the peak of the storm that evening then temps dropping down to near zero the next 2 nights. Couldn't even see 10ft in front of you to find may way back in my house during the peak of it. Unbelievable storm and hoping I could experience another one day. Hopefully soon. Wish you could have experienced it.

Yeah I remember our family was having dinner Christmas night. I was so upset because it was raining. Then we get done eating and I look outside and the ground was covered in snow and it was ripping. I would do anything to have those times back haha

Yes it was amazing and like you said, it happened in March was unbelievable. Ive never seen nothing like it in this area in my lifetime. Hoping and dreaming of another one. Hope you get to experience one like it down the road. It happened before it will happen again one day, just hopefully sooner than later.
 
I realized since moving south 11 years ago I would never see another one like these unless chasing, the blizzard of 96 at my location with 50mph wind, biggest drifts I've ever seen. But Feb. 5-8 2010 will probably be my greatest ever. 36" of snow followed by another 23" two days later. Snowpacalypse and Snowverkill were the storm names. Anne Arundel County MD.

This looks like Greenville County winter storm! HWY 20, is the new I-85! Luckily I’m N of 20!
Temp already 27 degrees, low was supposed to be 34-35! 6FC3C81D-9CFF-4E0A-BF95-4A273696FE57.png

I shouldn’t say anything but IMO that’s his “thing”. He’s the “no hype” meteorologist who has to issue 11 call maps leading up to an event because he starts out with flurries to a dusting and incrementally increases each forecast.

Glad someone said it

Those storms are fun. Back in the day we dug my ------ Chrysler sebring out of a 48 inch storm in Mammoth California and drove home to LA. It was so cold we said ---- the chains and just yolod it down the mountain. It was surprisingly not that bad with how good they plow the roads.

I doubt I ever see snow like that again unless I time a trip right.

I can assure you, I lived off of New Hope Rd, and there was nowhere near 5” of snow, ground truth

Wow… I wonder if there was some sort of microclimate reasoning that caused your accumulations to be so much lower. Pretty much all of the local reports from the Gaston County had more than 4” with 6-8” common in the northern part of the county. I found this in a copy of the Charlotte Observer I saved from the day after. Even the 1.6” at CLT airport was low compared to other parts of the the immediate city…. all 3 local news stations had greater than 3” with WSOC having 4.6 at their studios. Over my way in Concord I remember the changeover was just before noon and it was almost instantaneous… heavy rain and then heavy snow blowing sideways a minute later… the ground was covered in about 15 minutes

I would be almost willing to bet the change over was so late in the storm in that area of Gaston county that cut the accumulations way down. It was a crazy gradient in that storm. From what I remember. East to west and north to south in the county. Mecklenburg 1-6. Gaston 4-8. Cleveland 6-12. Rutherford 14-24. Polk 18-32 and more the farther west you went into wnc. Not counting drifts. It was crazy the variance in the accumulations from Mecklenburg county back west to the foothills and the mountains in that storm. You could tell who changed over sooner rather than later by the accumulations. Good stuff. Love talking about that storm.
