SUNYGRAD Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Does anyone remember this storm? The Spring Snowstorm of April 2-5, 1987. I was not living here but ran across this today. WOW- 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Valley Steve Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I ended up with an inch of rain and I am very thankful! The pollen has been washed down and cooler air is filtering in. I could make a run at freezing in the morning. We'll see about that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Gary at WLOS and just found out the other day he was now at Spectrum News. I was in Raleigh at the time of the storm but recall local news reports about it. Had a good sledding snow in Raleigh earlier that winter. The Concorde that was snow delayed in Asheville also flew into Raleigh. There is a YouTube video documenting the Concorde in Asheville: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DHwXblu3JGo&pp=ygUcQ29uY29yZCBmbGV3IGluIEFzaGV2aWxsZSBOQw%3D%3D 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the 5" at cataloochee is questionable compared to the very high totals in the valleys near there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Looks like we finally seeing a breakdown of this heat ridge this weekend. We go from the 80s to highs possibly in the 50s with possibly more frost. Looking further out we may finally see a more moist pattern setup over the East also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
