Wave storms

looking like some good flow snow up in Avery county to go on top of the snow they had this past week. Gonna be some nice weekly totals up there. Might be pushing 2 feet in some areas from Sugar to Beech before the warmup hits.

As a whole outside of the most favorable high elevation yes. However, Sugar for instance, is sitting @ 30” so far with a seasonal average of 42” so they are well ahead of pace to meet climo. Niños have been tough outside of
Elevation.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is Asheville's snow drought. They have not received measurable snow since .3 in on March 12th 2022. They only received a trace last year and only a trace this year so far. That could change this weekend but they are going on about 670 days without measurable snow, so I would think that would have to be a record. The last time they received at least one inch was the Jan 2022 storm. It's not just our imaginations that it's been rough on the East side the past couple of years.

Asheville season average is 12". 0" so far this year and a trace last year. The temp spike is what caused the SER to amp so much. Without the temp spike, i think the mountains would have had a decent snow storm. But this is the new reality.

For anyone wondering what the official records are at the three official office of GSP.
They released this,
This morning on SM
Sad ???

 
As someone who grew up in the Charlotte area, I can tell you from about 1988 until the blizzard of 1996, there was really nothing too notable snowstorm wise. That is eight years. The blizzard of 93 really only affected areas north and west of town before you ask. Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure Charlotte went from 1988 until 2004 without a double digit event.

Just wait til this PV gets coiled tight again over the Arctic and we have to start banking on the generational Judah Cohen sudden stratospheric warming event to maybe or maybe not get cold to come down off the pole again.

Right on cue. Looks like we are entering the coiling stage now in the LRIMG_6210.png

Yeah the 1993 Blizzard was definitely a bigger deal in northern Mecklenburg and Cabarrus Counties and points north and west… I got 6” in Concord with most of that falling between noon and 3 that afternoon. Yes the current drought we’re in to me is no we’re near as bad as the early 90s. CLT went from 12/12/89 to 1/25/91 with no measurable snow and that 12/12/89 was only .3” and the 1/25/91 system was only .4”. Then it would 3/13/93 before the 2” officially at the airport. That means that CLT went from 2/23/89 to 3/13/93, just over 4 years, with only .7” of snowfall

We had about 4-6” in Gastonia, depending on if you were in the south part of town or north part of town. My grandfather drove for Carolina Freight and I can vividly remember his truck coming home from Cherryville covered in snow. I still haven’t seen a really good map that depicted well what happened that storm in our area.

Probably of little consolation to most but ensembles seem to want to start breaking down the “death ridge” around the 29th time frame. Obviously what happens in reality past 240 hours is anyone’s guess.

Looks like some cross polar flow setting up.
