Current dreams of future past.
My area had 13" at 16 degrees during one of the many storms during that winter.
87 and 88 is what I tell my kids about every winter. Been chasing ever since

Here in Pittsboro NC we will forever love 87-88. Wish another one like that would happen. Ice that made the county stand still (no one on the roads) followed by a foot of snow.Current dreams of future past.

This board would go crazy if we got a repeat of that winter. Some of the southeast scored big in APRIL that year, even outside of the mountains, and if that low had tracked farther southeast even more areas would have been hit.
Eric's snow maps are great reminders. I was in Winston and I swear I missed 2 months of school due to snow.

Only we could get a legit -NAO & 50/50 in one run but get the S/W out west to turn into pure dog water.

I’ll never forget the storm that January that the NWS and local mets got completely wrong for CLT metro. The 6pm news the night before everyone was predicting CLT metro to get mainly rain with snow mixed in at times. The only exception was WBTV who at the time Accuweather did their forecasts and was forecasting CLT to get 4-7”. Joe Bastardi was on WBT radio giving that forecast even with no watches or advisories for the area. By the 11pm newscast, the NWS office and local mets were having to scramble because it was very clear based on upstream obs their forecasts were going to bust badly.

Some of the higher peaks on the Tennessee line should be doing really well the next couple weeks. My personal preference is Carvers Gap, which is a little over 5,000 feet elevation and can be reached by highway 261. Once you’re there you can take short hikes to some beautiful vistas that are closer to 6,000 feet elevation. As far as places to stay nearby, Newland, Bakersville, and Spruce Pine have plenty of options.

thanks
Cold air source finally getting cold....
REAL COLD.
REAL COLD.
I looked at the kuchera maps and I didnt see anything for those areas. It could mean something is falling but not sticking.
That was a heavy wet snow here in the Northern Upstate.
GSP got 12 inches officially.
The temp was in the lower 30's most of the storm.
Then we got an unexpected snow in early April while the mountains just to my north got feet.
Now if we can get that to translate east the following week...might be looking at real winter in the SE

Probably irresponsible to post as the timeframe and the likelihood of seeing it but this would seem too cold for what we want. Probably suppress any moisture

Probably almost anywhere over 3500'.
I don't even see how that's physically realistic.

He meant to say that’s what dreams are made of, not up, so I was picking at him.
