One of my favorite storms as a teenager, and proof it can snow in late February in the piedmont

I was living in Highpoint at the time. First and last time I experienced thunder snow. It was a night to remember!

And who can forget the super clipper/lee trough that dumped almost a foot in the South Mountains? I remember going to bed thinking we might get a dusting to an inch and woke up to 6 or 7 inches of powder.

Definitely remember that one, even here in Forsyth county.  Was supposed to be a nothing burger.  Surprised school systems.

Are you sure you’re not confusing this with your night at Porky’s? 

 

 

Was a good one here in Archdale.  20” most of it in 4 hours with wild thunder and lightning for about 2 hours.  Totals dropped off quickly as you went north from here. PTI airport is less than 20 miles from here and if I am remembering correctly they reported 7”.

11:37 PM, Feb 26,k 2004. Nearly constant lightning and thunder. Some flashes lit up my yard as light as day and thunder rattled everything.

1:36 AM, Feb 27, 2004. Things finally winding down. Lightning and thunder ended somewhere around 12:30 AM. Total accumulation of 20".
