I understand 100%. I have moved back to where I grew up in the Augusta Ga area on Clarks Hill Lake and it is rough down here most of the time but in 1973 when I was 4 years old it snowed 16 inches here. I don't know if you were alive then or lived in Columbia then but talking with my Grand Father when he was alive and my Great Grandmother she remembered a heavy snow in the late 1880's and my Grand Father remembered a heavy snow when he was about 10 years old in the early 1910's both over 10 inches and then the 1973 snow. They lived to see both. I am 50 so I have seen one and I am gonna follow family tradition and live to see my second heavy snow, lol. These are rare but put down higher totals than most of the state! Here is a link to the NWS account of the 1973 storm..... https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Feb1973Snow
