Cary_Snow95 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Since we certainly like to dream about it all the time and model watch in the winter I thought this might be fun. Draw up on a map your dream setup. Label your LP path, your high pressures, your 500mb heights etc. Create the perfect snow storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, March of 1980 was # 1 if you like cold temps during a winter storm. Heavy snow with temps in the single digits is hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome storm, would love to see another like this. I would also like to see another Late Dec. 1989 storm. 12" here in eastern NC right before Christmas.

They have told me stories about the insane amounts of snow up there during this storm. Believe it it or not I was born at Rex Hospital in Raleigh. As much **** as I give you NC folk I was born there!
