Misc Cold Season Complaining

Moved it here to keep the forum moderators happy and to keep that thread solely on the pattern and model recognition.
88 was one for the ages.
I was a senior in HS that year and it was epic.
Hit the entire board but was outstanding N of 85.
I was living in the same general area then as I do now but we were on the S side of Paris mountain.
It began snowing around 5:30 am that morning and preceded to snow the next 12-14 hours heavily.
The temp was 18° when it started but quickly settled down to 12° and stayed there the remainder of the storm at GSP.
GSP ended with around 15 inches maybe 16.
But we had close to 20 imby that bc we were on the South facing slope of Paris mountain.
Due to orientation of the storm and the over running it quickly piled up.

It stuck immediately,
They were calling for 1-3 which was normal back then,
We had 3 inches before 7 am.
They kept adjusting to the next 3 inch range till we got to 12+.
It was glorious!
Been chasing that storm since!
Snow stayed on the ground where I lived for a month if memory serves.
We missed 3 plus weeks of school.
To the point that they started to talk about Sat school & going into June.
This coming off the 87 foot storm the year before.
87 was a much warmer storm but still epic.
Also the storm in 88 was during a La Nina if memory serves.
It's all about timing.
Had to share that,...

Amazing southern slider storm, I was 25 at the time and it ranks in my top 5. From Oklahoma to the Carolina’s recording 8” to 14” of snow with all the upper southern states receiving those amounts. I’ve never seen a storm that covered such a large geographical location with those snow smounts.
 
Lol, I'm halfway tempted to start a Gulf of Mexico/America thread just to see how long it takes to get locked. (not IF it gets locked, but when) But I don't won't to give that headache to the mods. Hopefully they'll be busy with the upcoming pattern anyways..

BTW, my guess would be under 48 hours. 😏
 
Technically we’re due here in Nc …. I was born in 1991, 1993, 2004, 2014 ….. so ummmm You do the math. That being said, the last 3yrs of pain…. Would you sign up again for 3 more if I told you that map would verify with no sweat?

N GA - SC upstate -Murphy to Manteo 12-20” ? The deal is though, for 3 yrs after we have to watch VA/TN get hammered over and over while SE ridge bloodies our nose yearly for 3 months. So , yes or no?

Nah I wouldn’t do that. I’d prefer more regular moderate 4 inch storms, once or twice a winter.
