How can one be due for that in that part of the country? That’s like saying charlotte is due for another Hugo or an EF-5

So when was the last time areas from Jackson ms to Columbus ga had a decent snow storm I’ll wait? That part of the country deserves to see something compared to your area which I’m sure has seen something this year.. and don’t forget it’s people in that General area that are snow lovers too

I mean, I don’t actively hope they don’t get snow. However, saying a region “deserves” something that is so wildly outside of their climo is just foreign to me. I mean, is Chicago due to be visited by a hurricane?

As a very deep south guy, I agree with your sentiments (though I never expect any in any one season based on climo). So, thank you. And I can't even find good Columbus, GA records for some reason. But Jackson, MS, actually had an ~2" storm last Feb., and 3.2" for the 2020-2021 season, which beats their annual climo mean of 1.1".

There’s places in the Carolinas with climo as bad as Jackson miss… and they aren’t in the I-20 corridor . Wilmy averages .9 lol. Yet no one seems to say it’s far fetched for them to get snow .

Yeah, the coast even that far north has deceptively low climo. The impact of the nearby modifying ocean cannot be overstated. Of course to me 0.9" is a ton as mine is only 0.2". My 0.2" is really more like none or a trace 6/7 of the time and an average of ~1" the other 1/7 of the time. That's why I expect little or none in any one winter.

Actually a 3 or 4 inch snow has occurred with some regularity during my life time. This has been the longest drought I can recall down here and I've been here since 81. The 80's and 90' were much better. I get dustings up to an inch is all since 05, but I've seen just short of 10 inches on several occasions...but not recently, or recently doubled..so it seems, lol.

Expect Col did ok during the Macon storm. And the second Ull put 8 melting inches on me, and Columbus would have been in on that.
