Cold Rain Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Probably somewhere like Winchester, VA might be a good location I'm thinking. Just getting caught up. Congrats on the new ride, Snowstorm!! That's awesome. At least one awesome thing happened this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklin NCwx Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 What is the latest snowfall ever recorded for GSP, ATL, CLT, AVL? Is there a good source for this sort of information? If I had to guess it would be sometime in March for GSP, ATL, CLT, and April for AVL.it has to be may, or maybe even June for Asheville. They average more snow in April than November. April snow is not unusual here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Does Elkins, WV do good usually ? 83"/year. Not nearly as good as Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, snow chases are fun and all, but they are over before you know it. You want a real adventure, go on a -NAO chase. You're guaranteed to get your money's worth out of that!

jburns Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Front Royal is really nice. The ridges at the Warren/Fauquier county lines off sr 55 and I-66 are up over 2200 feet elevation. They should get slammed by this storm. Lots of nice homes up there. That is exactly where I went in March 2013 and got these photos. https://www.facebook.com/john.burns.330467/media_set?set=a.546412472047666.1073741825.100000367540017&type=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I would think maybe early April for the first three, and late April/May for Asheville. it has to be may, or maybe even June for Asheville. They average more snow in April than November. April snow is not unusual here. I'm only 32, but I don't ever recall it snowing in April in the Upstate. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if it occurred during colder periods in the past. I think I read one time snow has occurred in every month of the year at Mt. Mitchell. Eventhough it's a completely different climate up their, it's still impressive being that it's is only a 2-3 hour car ride up there from Spartanburg.

Dunkman Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 If you're going to WV then Snowshoe gets like 180" a year. It poured snow on the backside of a storm at GSO in April 2005 iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Western Loudoun, to the Blue Ridge, and south into the Valley, some of the prettiest landscapes on the East Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'll probably be driving through NC (assuming I go to NoVA instead of Ohio). If anyone wants to hop in my car and go with me you're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham, AL got a pretty major snowstorm in April 1987. Not sure about SC. Maybe they got some snow with the April 1915 snowstorm that pummeled Raleigh?

As I said, he has a bed and breakfast and he's a regular poster on these forums, so it evidently has both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rduwx Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I should have looked more closely to see how nino's were going for us, these were the past 7 nino's. 2 climo and 5 duds. LOL, and I used to think nino's were snowy for us. So really this winter is behaving as past nino's have. RDU Nino's since 1990. 2010 - 7.9 2007 - 1.6 2005 - 0.9 2003 - 7.4 1998 - 2.4 1995 - 2.2 1992 - 0 AVG 3.2" Good info....It'd be interesting to know what Nino's where like during the 30 years that were above snowfall average for RDU.
