On this date back in 1936, the 2nd snowstorm within a few days struck eastern and central NC, producing as much as 1 foot of snow in far southeastern NC, including Onslow and Carteret counties. This snowstorm is definitely one of the greatest I-20 centric hits in the last century or so, delivering over 6 inches of snow in a large swath from north-central Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, central SC, and southeastern NC. A very weak area of low pressure formed in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico late on January 29th, with light-moderate overrunning precipitation spreading across the southern plains and the deep south and gradually spreading eastward. The intensity/coverage of the overrunning precipitation increased over MS, AL, and GA as the area of low pressure gradually intensified over en route to crossing the northern portion of the Florida Peninsula on the 30th. This storm system remained well offshore of the Carolinas and relatively weak, with precipitation ending in the coastal carolinas and Virginia early on the 31st. Although a very robust antecedent arctic airmass was well entrenched east of the Rockies, the absence of a significant surface high anchored over the Great Lakes, Midwest, and/or northeastern US during this storm is a notable and rather unusual feature in this event that flies in the face of many canonical overrunning setups in the SE US.
