I agree with this mostly..but where were you living in 2011-2012? GSP did it. Went the entire winter without a flake or sleet pellet. I'm sure there have been many with just a trace. It certainly has been a dozen or so of those at CLT and RDU. A trace counts in the books but isn't accumulating winter precip. There have been many complete duds like that and it'll happen again sooner or later.
i got about 4 inches last January so i have bout 5 yrs to go lol
As a matter of fact Charlotte has did it 18 times. A trace is a snowless winter in my book.
That stretch in the early 90s is brutal
Different location. That’s why.
That storm in January 1992 really weakened as it moved east and missed CLT to the south. I think Columbia, Myrtle Beach, and Wilmington all got around and inch from it.
"The '90s were so good"
If you grow up in Carrollton you had totally different weather than the northern suburbs of Atlanta especially the cad areas. Your weather was more like Alabama.
I lived in Northern GVL county.
We had 6" from that storm in January 1992.
I remember being heartbroken as a kid when West Georgia would get snow and we would not in Gainesville.
As someone who grew up just west of Charlotte, the 90s were brutal with the exception of the 93 superstorm and the 96 blizzard. Those are literally the two storms of note between February 1988 and December 1999. Honestly, the superstorm was only good for those of us west as well
I was heartbroken in December 1997 when there was a good bit of snow from Jackson to Birmingham but it vanished by the time it got to the GA border.
Yeah mine is too. I at least like a good 1-2 every year.
That was a nice storm for the I-20 corridor from Miss to SC. Was a miss for upstate SC and much of NC.
I remember this very well. I kept looking for snow for hours that night and finally gave up on it. That was one of several near misses we had from December 1988 through. Jan 1992.
1987 was not a bad year for winter weather through, especially for western NC. 4 big snowstorms in the mountains including a big one in early April that dropped 1-2 feet in most mountain locations in NC. We only had one real storm in 1988, but what a monster that was though. Heavy snow at 17 degrees here and was out of school for over a week.
