    I  honestly have no clue what it's going to do tonight in the upstate.  I  would lean towards mostly all rain or wet snow that can't stick... but I wouldn't be surprised if Walhalla to Pickens to Greenville got 4-6 inches. 

    The column is very marginal from 825-875mb...The surface is very marginal... but if they get heavy rates for a few hours that could lead to 4 inches of concrete, and the way the radar is setting up right now looks like a death band is developing in N. GA and heading right for the upstate.

    The only thing I'm sure of is the the Southern Mountains are going to get obliterated.  Clayton, GA to Highlands to Cashiers to Brevard will get 6-12 inches. 

    Agree 100%..this one has big potential both ways

    Welp they did, made it to 32 and got a thick cloud deck. Gonna be a struggle to hit that 45 today. We will see how this affects tonight. To me around here its one of the most under rated factors is capping the cold or max warning before cloud deck roll in

    April 12 Severe Event

    I've never seen this type of damage in person. My hometown looks like a warzone. My house and property were spare thank God! Borg Warner (5miles south of me) is destroyed. Thank goodness there was no 3rd shift due to Covid pandemic or this would be a major loss of life and serious injuries to deal with which the hospitals would struggle with at this time.

    There was snow in the Upstate with this system but it was mostly cold rain literally 33 and rain.

    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

    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 :lol:    

    Lol I'll be in Syracuse next week..I'll post pics!

    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.
