Wintry Nov 30-Dec 1 Flurries/Snow Showers

If I'm looking correctly it seems as if the Upper level low shifted to the east on the gfs for the 2nd wave

I bet summers aren't even too bad there. I'm sure you pretty much always have a nice ocean breeze and you probably never get much above 90.

We get above 90F maybe 10 days a year. A normal summer day has an overnight low of like 81F, peaks at 88F at 11am before the seabreeze kicks in. After that it's 86-88F until it storms which drops the temp to like 76F for an hour or two. If it doesn't storm we get 88/81 on a loop.

The hottest days here are often in the spring actually since we can get a dry SW/W breeze before a front in April and May which allows temps to climb into the 90's. During the summer the wind is ESE like 95% of the time which keeps a lid on temps.

I'd much rather be in Key Biscayne in the summer than any place in the south outside of the mountains !

I remember it happening a few times (like 5 times in my life but can’t pin down the dates) 4 out of them 5 of them didn’t accumulate and we’re just some novelty flakes

I remember in Gainesville since it's on the Eastern side of the Appalachians I bet I only saw a flurries three or four times my whole life from one of those type of events

I remember in February 2016 there was a week where we had some real cold air in place and a northwest flow and I remember having some sort of snow showers and flurries for three consecutive days. Was an interesting little event.

So what would the setup have to be for us to get a decent snow in the upstate? I know someone said the cold has to already be in place but it seems like even when that happens the low brings warm air which usually causes rain right at the I-85 line.

A gulf Low skirting the gulf coast with a strong High pressure in the NE building in and helps to already have a decent cold mass already in place. Set up of 1988! Other than that everything has to line up perfectly which doesn't happen very often.

I just don't think it's worth it to drive hundreds of mile's for just an inch or two. I would save your gas money for a real big snow but you do what makes you happy.

It’s one thing if you’re going to drive up to Newfound gap, Mount Mitchell, or somewhere in Avery county, NC, it’s probably not worth the effort if not.
