If anyone can find the setup to the February 26-27,2004 Carolinas snowstorm, I would love to see it. This was my all-time favorite storm for the Charlotte area. It began snowing at my home in Concord around 8am on the morning of the 26th and it didn’t stop until around 4am the following morning. We got a solid 8 inches from the overrunning part of the storm during the day. Then after it had lightened up for a few hours the upper level low come across the area and what can best be described as a cluster of thunderstorms crawled across the 85 corridor in the Charlotte area and just absolutely dumped the whole area with another 8-14 inches in matter of a few hours. It was the only time that I actually saw lightning flashes during a snowstorm and not just hear thunder. Then during the following day the low actually reversed its course and another band of snow set up over us and gave us another couple of inches. I ended up with 19 inches when I did a final measurement but I’m certain there had been some compacting during the storm.
