Where were you at in March 2009? I lived in the Mallard Creek area of north Charlotte not far from Northlake Mall and had 6” with thundersnow… and the ground actually stayed fairly well covered for a couple days after.

Last storm we had where I really remember seeing transformers blowing left and right. March winter storms actually really deliver around here. They just don’t have staying power after it snows usually

Northwest Charlotte near Mt Holly Huntersville Road. Think had about 3 to 4 sloppy inches.
Yes I remember having to drive to work at 4am in the morning as there was still some light snow falling. Harris Blvd in CLT was an absolutely mess and you could still see flashes from transformers blowing.
Another coastal. Nice. ?
SE trend!

Yea he had me convinced as well. Telling you I was out planting trees the week between Christmas and New Year. Told the familia if we get 30 minutes of snow and the mulch covers up, its a win this year. Almost 5 weeks latter and we have had 4 stellar events that involved all snow and some sleet. Still with the warm rain, we have the last little bit preserved by the shade about to bite the dust/melt off today. Sitting right at 9 for the year. Could have easily ended up 15-20 range. The hardest and prettiest snow was the 1st we had the day the temps flipped. Believe it was upper 50's/ close to 60 at midnight and by 8am poured snow for about 5 hours.
2 of the 3 biggest snows I've seen in person in NC are
February 28 2004 =17.5
March 1993 = 15+
Also think off the top of my head late Feb into March 2013 ( may be year, could be 2014/ cant remember) we had like 3-4 frozen events ( mostly ice). I do know we where in a La nina year. Think we lucked up and caught a rabbit in the hat out in the NE Pacific/ pattern for a few weeks.
Western ridge this past jan and being modeled again is on roids, ensembles look great

Looks great but can we finally get a gulf low that rides up the coast instead of out to sea?

Yeah, doesn't look like it. Looks pretty dry to me overall. Doesn't mean something can't pop, but we're likely looking to mid month before something can get going imo. 6Z starts to juice up mid month but it looks like cutters this run. I'll take a cutter at this point. It's been so long since anything amped. Lol.

The ECENS has been pretty consistent in showing basically no snow for the next ten days.
Lots of banter in this thread, we literally have 2 other threads specifically for that and especially the whamby for all the "we're done", weather whining post. Going to start deleting post as we move forward and this thread becomes more active.
First you need the cold for any wintry weather. It's pretty obvious, but that's the first thing to look for. So, check, we'll have the cold. Feb is usually a stormier month, too. I'm sure there will be a good chance or two going forward.
