I noticed most of us in this thread joined in 2010. Is that when Eastern Weather changed to American Weather?

It is starting to freeze rain on Sugar Mountain. The sleet and freezing rain the models have been showing were accurate.

They are making snow on Sugar mountain. Shows how dry the air is still.    https://www.resortcams.com/webcams/sugar-ski/

Sleeting in Lenoir currently at 46.7

I used to work in Lenoir at Magna. I lived on the back side of Beech Mountain at about 4200 ft. My point is, if you get no snow, it is a short trip to see some. Peace!

I lived on Beech Mountain from 2010 to 2012. We received over 150 inches of snow the winter of 2010-2011. Good luck mountaineers, lol. Peace!

Nice pic. I always liked Jim's passion for the weather!

Through the Catawba Valley this map doesn't even come close to matching the liquid equivalent that most models are showing. His freezing rain map only has .05"-.15" of freezing rain. This would only capture about .5-.75 inches of precip falling to match these totals. 

I think it because in his earlier videos he said that it would be heavy precip and that would affect ice accumulation. He said light to moderate precip would result in higher ice totals.

Boy if these maps verified every time they showed a big snow storm in my neck of the woods. I would have 50" by now. LOL

Yea, I agree. That is why they are called "clown maps". Peace

Damn, I was alive when it happened. I am surprised by that. Thanks for the heads up. I have been a member here for 11 years and even when it was Eastern Weather I was a member but I don't post much anyway. Peace!

You live in my neck of the woods. Look at the link to the SE snowstorm of Feb 9-13 1973. You see any similarities? Even the date is close. Anyway I have hope but its to far off but I am amazed at the similarities.     https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Feb1973Snow

here ya go wx weenies

I know this is way out there but it really favors the Southeastern snow storm of 1973. I know this map is almost always wrong but it is interesting.                          https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Feb1973Snow

Snow mixed with rain 30 miles north of Augusta GA.

Is that the ULL center rotating just northwest of Columbia, SC

To me it looks like the ULL center is near Athens, Ga

It's been nearly 4 years since we've had accumulating snow, but it has snowed two or three times since we've last had accumulating snowfall in March of 2017. 

I am hoping this is the year that Macon, Augusta, Columbia gets a Miller A scenario and gets a good snow. It has been about 10 years since the fall line got a good snow.

Living in Columbia for 20+ years, I understand your frustration. I can’t tell you how many winters I couldn’t buy a single snowflake, while everyone else cashed in. Often multiple times during the season, lasting several years in a row. At least you’ve seen flakes in a horrible year across the eastern half of the country. That’s more than some can say. Just add it to your bucket list of things you wouldn’t want to repeat  That’s what I do. This way I have “I survived” stories to tell the next generation  

I understand 100%. I have moved back to where I grew up in the Augusta Ga area on Clarks Hill Lake and it is rough down here most of the time but in 1973 when I was 4 years old it snowed 16 inches here. I don't know if you were alive then or lived in Columbia then but talking with my Grand Father when he was alive and my Great Grandmother she remembered a heavy snow in the late 1880's and my Grand Father remembered a heavy snow when he was about 10 years old in the early 1910's both over 10 inches and then the 1973 snow. They lived to see both. I am 50 so I have seen one and I am gonna follow family tradition and live to see my second heavy snow, lol. These are rare but put down higher totals than most of the state! Here is a link to the NWS account of the 1973 storm.....     https://www.weather.gov/ilm/Feb1973Snow

Ran across this...  https://www.weather.gov/cae/Snowfall_Total_Records_cor.html

I have not seen this posted. GA NWS video...
