The first widespread snowfall will be the week of December 12th. Cold air will be firmly entrenched and a strong low pressure will form in the Northern Gulf and bring widespread snowfall mostly along and south of I-20. Widespread 3-6" in a band from Jackson,MS to Atlanta GA and points south. The snow will fizzle out by the time it gets to the Carolinas leaving them high and dry.

Just like last January! RDU got screwed on that one.

Hey, thats not fair, we avg more than (at least areas to my west) you. One can kind of grasp at that, NE GA, NW SC, and W NC are always the bell winners from SE perspective... And odds are these three regions are going to be in with the first widespread event of the season!

You NC folks are great! If I could get a job up there I'd move and build a house on the top of one of those high mountain peaks. Good luck this season!

Are there any jobs on the tops of mountains in NC ?

You can be a park ranger but it doesn't pay much.

With all due respect - given what the pattern looks like now, it may be the January 2-9, 2013 time frame :mapstorm:

December 25-27 2011. Widespread 3-6 inches of snow from Pensacola Florida extending Central to Southeast Georgia from a bombing gulf low that goes out to sea after Crossing the Florida/Georgia border. South Carolina may get in on a few inches. But no one else does.

To get a historic snow like this to include most of SE GA, the surface low will almost have to cross over FL well south of the FL/GA border...say entering around Tampa and exiting around the Melbourne to Daytona area per other historic storms' tracks (1914, 1973, 1989, etc.) It wouldn't be cold enough if the surface low is near the GA/FL border. That is more likely to give widespread 3-6" to places like ATL, AHN, Greenville, Columbia, Charlotte, and much of NC.

[tnweathernut]

Columbia is fastly becoming the new snow capital of SC, with that said I hope us coastal guys can cash in this winter. Im calling Jan 3-4 for first big region wide event. general 6-9" on the I-20 corridor from ATL to FLO on up the I-95 corridor to VA line. lesser Amounts west and east of that line

Bump, this could be the winner here.

[kanc2001]

NE coast of SC: maybe some token flakes around 1/30-2/3

or:

A 12"+ southern slider around on 1/24 (my bday) that the LP stays about 200 miles offshore and buries the Grand Strand, yeah right, but a guy can dream

[kanc2001]

Bump, this could be the winner here.

what do I win?

[chapelhill]

1/8/2011 gets to RDU around 12-3 a.m. Elvis Day BTW and my and my wife's b-day.

^{Boy, just a few people remain alive in this contest. Oddly enough, Widre is still in it. Widre, are you still holding w/ that date or do you want to push it back a bit now that you've seen the pattern?}

2/4/12 - North Florida has an 1899 redo.

With temperatures of about 10°F (−12°C), the snow accumulates to 2 inches (51mm) near Jacksonville and 4 inches at Lake Butler. In some locations, the snow remains on the ground for several days.
