    1960 is the gold standard for mid-south/southeast/carolina's March snow. It gets talked about a lot and I remember first studying it back when easternwx was around. Here is a 500mb map from the first 1/2 of 1960 as well as the surface temp anomaly for the same period. There are some 500 similarities, but I don't think the cold would have the potential to be as strong. I have also included the snow map I could find. I am sure it doesn't do John's snowfall justice (lol), but it was accurate for "recorded snow in and around the Tri-Cities (snowiest March on record just shy of 28")

    That's part of what made 1993 so special. Just think of the technology we had back then and to know this system was fairly well forecast from 5 days out while the southeast baked in above normal temps leading up to the event is pretty remarkable. I can't imagine what this board would be like if a system like that started showing up on modeling almost a week out and came to fruition. Pretty sure the servers wouldn't be able to handle it. I was in college at ETSU. I remember the forecast for a heavy snow, but being from Nashville I took a chance and left for spring break to be with family and friends. I left that Friday, the 12th at the same time a buddy of mine at ETSU left to head to Danville, VA. I only saw light snow showers and flurries till late that night when backbuilding FINALLY edged into middle TN (we ended up with 2-3", but I remember drifts over 8'). A couple of weeks later I learned my buddy, who left at the same time, encountered heavy snows heading through SW VA and got stuck between here and home. He said the snow got heavy quick and he ended up spending a good chunk of spring break at a run down motel...

    Looked like it was temporarily replaced by a 2/8/18-2/10/18 snowstorm thread..

    Through 45 looks like less interaction between streams and a more positive tilt. I would think less amped and a bit further east with the heavier axis of precip.

    only 2 pages per year, pretty crazy!

    How many did you buy? Have any extra's?

    North Carolina teachers must be different from TN teachers. All I hear over here on this side of the mountain are teachers practically BEGGING for snow days, lol.....

    Stove, you are amazing with gardening stuff. I love reading this thread and think I will start a garden often, but then I just go to the store or farmers market and get good veggies there. Hope you guys get enough rain for a bumper crop this year.

    That's awesome, hope your tomato plants do well. I know harvesting those will be extra special!

    Welcome to the board Olhausen. Great to have you. I grew up in Gallatin, but worked a couple of summers at the Osh Kosh plant in White House while in college. I know your area well and look forward to your contributions on our board.

    Great to have you on the forum! Those SE guys spend more time talking about when to start a thread than the weather.

    Nice!

    Thank you for pinning this again. A LOT of useful information in this thread, especially for the newer members that want to learn. This is a link for the Euro maps (free), along with ensembles. It's not detailed, but handy none the less. http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=namk&MODELL=ecmwfens&MODELLTYP=2&BASE=-&VAR=pslv&HH=0&ZOOM=0&ARCHIV=0&RES=0&WMO=&PERIOD= This is a link for the composite climate maps people use when trying to predict the future based on how the atmosphere acted in the past under certain conditions. http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/usclimdivs/

    You guys have inspired me. I love winter, but looking forward to trying my hand at planting a few items next year......

    Fred, Great to have you aboard! I have been amazed at how your neck of the woods has become a 2nd tornado alley over the past decade and look forward to hearing from you on the board often.

    My memory from that decade is a little foggy, but I think that event for you guys in 1998 was on the heels of a similar event for us that same year (a few weeks earlier). Both events were cutoff lows. The one that hit the tricities area snowed 3 inches per hour for 7 straight hours and totaled 24-30 inches around Johnson City. Power was out for several days. I remember the population then being 55,000ish, and 50k were without power! I had a buddy in medical school at the time, living in a 500 sq foot, one bedroom apartment (with gas heat). There were over 25 people staying with him for 5-6 days. You would wake up and it would look like Jonestown the morning after with bodies just laying EVERYWHERE. Pretty crazy snowstorm. The reason I remember your snow was the setup was almost identical to what we had just experienced and I thought we were going to get hammered again. As the event got closer, the models began to hone in on the exact track, which was just west of us (sparing us, and hitting you guys with 12-14 inches of heavy wet snow). Great memories, even though the details are a bit fuzzy.

    Welcome to our subforum Bill. Nice to see you posting. I highly recommend you post, and post often. It's all a part of trying to become more informed when it comes to weather in our region. There will always be a few that rub people the wrong way or clash with another member's personality, but I highly encourage you to post your thoughts and observations. As long as the posts aren't attacking another member and are on topic you will be fine. I welcome disagreements about weather, if done with information (models and analysis) and not just someone's opinion pulled out of the air. If someone gets out of line, our mods will address that as we go along. Again, it's great to have you. We look forward to hearing from you in the future!

    Welcome Jeff, really looking forward to your insights this year. It's great to see you in this subforum. Hope you have a great finish to your week.

    You would have to think January of 1985 has to be up there. Search YouTube, several events that month into February AND arctic cold mid month. Dates with still shots below (quality not the best, videos are grainy at best) January 3 January 16-17 January 29th February 11th Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
