I’m rather curious. How many major snowstorms has Columbia had since 1970. We all know about the 73 storm, as well as the 2009, 2011, and 2014. Did Cola get yearly snowfalls prior to those three most recent storms?

I am flattered, but I am not the heat miser known as PackBacker. I did learn a lot from PB over the years. Find reasons why it won’t be cold and why it won’t snow and you will look like a genius 90% of the time. Red maps verify. Blue maps don’t. So post red maps and be a miser and if it happens to snow just go outside and enjoy it the way a weenie would. We’re all here for the same reasons. I’m of the suspicion that something bad happened to PB because he disappeared in 2017 in the middle of tracking moderate event for the region. But who knows. Maybe not..

I agree Unfortunately. Maybe he moved to Columbia.
 
Been a while since I posted this one. In honor of our fallen comrade, Mack. Gone but not forgotten! And Brick. Haven’t seen him in a while. Guess he’s not a fan of the current pattern. And Judah. Siberian snow advancement theory isn’t playing out how he would have liked. And JB. Because he changed his accurate winter forecast to an inaccurate one late in the game.

Oh boy! Finally the pattern we're looking for shows up just in time in March when it's usually too warm to snow after the 1st week of the month!

Pants explosion hype!!!

In all seriousness, November & March have been our only consistently good months in "winter" of late, granted they're right on the shoulder seasons of the year when it's often too warm to snow even in the best patterns.

Swap out 2009 for 2010. The March 2009 bowling ball storm still horrifies me. It was an excellent storm for parts of Atlanta, but it failed horribly in parts of east GA and eastward. Dry slot. I got my revenge there 6 years later, but that's why I hate bowling balls/ULLs.

You can add 2002 for sure. That's one of the rare near board wide snow/winter storms.

I think you can add 1980, 1982 (edit, was off by a year), 1992, and 2000. I'm not sure. In the 2000 case, I recognize the Carolina Crusher was more a NC storm, but my dad swears on his life that it snowed and stuck here for a relatively short period (even in the south) when I was 4, I have an oddly vivid picture memory from then of my old dance place covered in snow, and the only case that adds up here is the Carolina Crusher.

I don't know after that. Maybe 2004 in some areas. Maybe 2001 too.

Edit: This is thinking about downstream cases outside of the last line. So, those years that I threw out there might have affected Columbia but might not have.

I think there's other years you might be able to add, even if it's not a big event, but sadly since wunderground has changed their history function for good, it's going to be tough to search for me.

Mostly posted this to complain about that. I'd rather their old format, man.

Bahahaha. But JB was never accurate. He was only +1°F he would have busted anyway!

Columbia, SC got 4.3” from the Carolina Crusher according to NOW data.
