The following month, December 2000, was pretty snowy as well.What has happened can happen again.
Georgia Weather History for November 19th
In 2000, an unusually early winter storm brought sleet and snow to much of north Georgia, particularly the northeast Georgia mountains. Amounts of 1 to 3 inches were common but Fannin County received 4 inches! This event caused numerous automobile accidents, particularly in Floyd County, where bridges and overpasses became icy and hazardous during the morning hours.
I don't recall December 2020 being snowy in the Atlanta area. I do recall the last big ice storm in January 2000, though.The following month, December 2000, was pretty snowy as well.
Remember the Mid December storm in 2000 that dumped 3-5” in the North Metro ? I think there was also a light snow event around New Years Eve in 2000.I don't recall December 2020 being snowy in the Atlanta area. I do recall the last big ice storm in January 2000, though.
KATL is +8.4 for the month through 18 days. Between no real cold air anytime soon, few cloudy days, and absurdly in accurate overnight lows, they have to be making a run at the record.
CAD is always stronger with a good snowpack to our northeast. I believe the 2014 winter storm was a good example of that.That is because we can not get a snowpack in the right place. Get 1 foot plus down from VA on to the north, east of the mountains, put a 1040+ MB high over upstate NY and a low that tracks from south of Louisiana to off the Carolina coast in Jan and see what happens. I think many on here would love the result.
Yeah, the models have been back and forth on if it's going to be warm or cold for Thanksgiving. This morning/overnight they're (mostly) signaling cold(er).Love how the 6z GFS gets the rain out of here next wed, Turkey day is dry but cold. So Cold Turkey is on the menu, then it has a close call Saturday as we close Nov out.
Edit: Checked the 6Z Euro. It is also Dry and Cold Turkey Day. It's not a white Thanksgiving, buts its a win in my book!

That would be a nice birthday present just to see some snowflakes in the air. The largest accumulation of snow ever reported at KRDU on my birthday is only a trace so I am not expecting any miracles.I'm interested to see if we can get some flurries Friday am
I remember this in GSO. Caused some power outages as I don’t believe all the leaves were even off yet (I know our front yard Bradford Pear’s certainly weren’t, at least).What has happened can happen again.
