Upstate Tiger Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Not a stellar winter IMBY. We moved up to Gaston County from upstate in Jan. 2017 and had a 5" snow the first week we were here. Rest of that winter was terrible for winter weather. 17/18 we had the snow in December and snow and cold in January so it was a good winter. 18/19 we had 5" of snow in Dec. but nothing rest of winter. This year nada. However, this year wasn't as bad as 11/12. That was the worst winter since I started following winter weather in the SE in the mid 70's and believe me, I have seen some sucky winters. Not even one thing to track. I should add that we live in N. Gaston County near Lincoln County line. Of course, it wouldn't matter if I moved to Syracuse, NY, I seem to cause a snow drought wherever I go these days and heaven forbid I post about a potential event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olafminesaw Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It would seem a line of rain/snow showers could make it over the mountains tommorow midday/afternoon, and perhaps a second wave in the evening. Pretty good agreement from the hires models, but probably too warm for anything that does come through to stick. But I know how stingy the mountains are, so probably only light precip, if that.

All in all this winter was a C+ or a B- here. Had a big overperformer of 4+" with not even an advisory until 2" was on the ground. Got to see some more fall on 2 different occasions.

I think most of NW SC from Northern GVL, Pickens, & Oconee counties saw a dusting to as much as a foot in the highest peaks along the border. Just into NC it was a completely different story. It was a legitimate blizzard. WLOS has its tower on Mt Pisgah had over 2 feet. It was an amazing storm in the extreme western sections of WNC. Of course JAN of 87 & 88 we had 1 foot plus totals at GSP. The 88 storm was amazingly cold. As a senior that year we missed around 2 to 3 weeks of school. When we finally went back there was still snow on the road. Oh yes the memories of 88 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N GVL county had probably 5 or 6 inches fall but the BL was so warm it never accumulated to more than a dusting at a time. Each time it let up, Which was often it would melt. It was a few years maybe a little longer that Burger did the average Snow Fall for the majority of areas in the Carolinas, Maybe Georgia too??? He had GSP at 6.9??? If that number is accurate I don't think we have had more than that since 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Euro/GFS say it will be a bit windy next week when the big storm rides the Apps with the big high offshore, these are always over done but even if you knock off `15-20 mph from these numbers that still puts us in a wind advisory criteria day with gust to 50ish..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 I give this winter a solid D-. I reserve the grade of F exclusively for my least favorite type of winter. Very cold, very windy but no snow. The older I get the more I hate that combination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only 1 inch of snow which was gone by morning. Horrible winter. Flowering trees are already blooming here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I'm the first post in 3 days! Wow, that's sad Looks like no more 30s after tomorrow, highs all in the 60 and lows in the upper 40s/50s. Hopefully Spring will not get hot for awhile. Looks like the rainy pattern contiues for the next two weeks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
