I’d say so too but I think this is an extreme long shot. There is no way to improve this setup to be favorable for snow with the boundary layer temps out before this system. Mountain system at best

As a consolation, parts of the mid south are sitting at 500%+ their avg, so there’s a good chance we won’t have to suffer through watching another one back that way for another 5-6 years
 
No one seems to be to talking about it yet but there might be some serious flooding concerns later this week for the western/ central Carolinas and back over to Tennessee, northern Alabama, and Mississippi… lots of snow melt from the mountains and west combined with a lot of heavy rainfall possible.

This is not entirely true, the Winter of 2022/2023 (last year) was not good for much of anyone in Tennessee, including Nashville. There was ~ 1" of snow recorded December 22, 2022 in West and Middle Tn, right before Christmas. The rest of last year's Winter was not good for anyone in the state.

However, the 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 seasons were good. These were probably the other two seasons where you remember the snows you mentioned.

What’s not true? I said if we reach 10 inches of snow this winter it will be 3 winters out of the last 4 that we get over 10 or more inches of snow. Last winter was ok but not crazy. I got almost 2.5 inches total plus a week of freezing rain.

The 8inch and 6 inch snows happened in the same winter of 2022. Then a 7 inch snow this last Monday . I think that’s where you misunderstood me.
January 2022
8inch snow

March 2022 6 inch snow

Back on topic. High yesterday was 15 and the low was -1 this morning. It was the 3rd Time this week I went below zero. Still a couple of inches of snow on the ground. This is longest cold stretch since fab February 2015. That cold shot was not as cold but still impressive because it was the middle of February and snow stayed on the ground for well over a week.

Yeah... I'm feeling like whatever else happens this winter it ain't topping the last 10 days on cold at least... 6 out of 8 days below freezing with a high of 6 14 and 20 three days in a row. I'm still seeing snow and icy patches from last Sunday too which was apparently the 12th coldest day on record here. Yeah.... Good luck topping that ?

The only thing that might be topped is the snow I mean it only snowed an inch. Very similar to Christmas 22

Yeah it’s extremely unlikely we top a 7 inch snow agin this winter. We’ve been lucky But that would be next level lucky.
 
Already back down to 33 after reaching 39 for a high. Dewpoint is still at 9 so with the clear skies and light winds, it should easily get down to about the mid teens tonight. Three straight nights at 18 or lower here is always impressive… the only other time it’s happened since I moved here was early January 2018

It never gets that cold here thanks to the mountains.

I remember one time as a kid (70’s or early 80’s) we had some afternoon single digits with Sunshine. It was true bitter cold.

I’ve looked at some of observations during the 1979 President’s Day Storm and GSO had temps in the single digits during the afternoon while that storm was going on… that’s impressive enough. Also pretty much the whole NC Piedmont had afternoon temperatures in the single digits on 1/20/1985, but most areas had highs in the 30s at midnight before that Arctic front came through with a burst of snow.

May be wrong,
This is off the top of my head,
So could be wrong.
76-77, 77-78, 79-80, 82-83, 84-85, 89-90,
Could be windows of what this original poster was remembering.
All had very long duration cold snaps that might meet that criteria at one time in those winters.
Great times.
Banter winters...

I know that growing up Concord, 1985 is the one I remember… it was a Sunday and temperatures were in the low 30s when we went in to church. When we came out a couple hours later, it was snowing and temps were in the low teens… the snow was just blowing around in the road and not really sticking to them.

We had one of those in 2014 with the first event. The snow was blowing across the road like you’d see sand on old NC 12 through Rodanthe

That was my favorite snowstorm ever. As impressive as those temps were, I think the afternoon temps on a sunny day in single digits is more impressive temp wise.

Absolutely. I wonder if any of those days you’re remembering had a significant snowpack. I was only 2 years old during the ‘79 storm so have no memory of it. I am big NASCAR fan who grew just a couple miles from Charlotte Motor Speedway, so I’m well aware of the importance that storm had on the huge increase of popularity nationally NASCAR got because of it.
