Winter Outlook.......Snowfall for some cities!

[jpp5862]

Hey KOW, any thoughts on snowfall for Charlotte, NC?

Thanks!

Here is a good link for snowfall averages:

Great link GAStorm!

The problem with NJ's totals is that Newark's airport is in the northern parts of the state and Atlantic City is in the southern part and down at the shore. It hardly ever snows down there and when it does, the interior sections usually doesn't get much. It's interesting to see the differences though.

Hey Stephanie,

How much snow did you receive last year compared to the average? I can definitely see how there would be some substantial differences the closer to the coast you get.

Cincy, OH (rocks Location in N.KY) (normal 26.5) 03-04: 35"- 40"

35"-40"??? I don't know... sounds like you think there's a big storm or 2 coming here this winter...

Hey Jeremy....check out Lexington's forecast!!!

>>Lexington, KY (normal 17.5) 03-04: 30"- 35"<<

That's important info for your area too, if you ask me!!! I've always said it seems like Dayton and/or Lexington/Louisville get more snowfall than Cincy does. Even though KOW has forecasted we may get 5" more than Lexington will. We're in a valley over here and protected. So many times I've read where Dayton or Columbus have inches and we have flurries. That makes sense to me, they're farther north. But Lexington and Louisville? It's not fair if you ask me. You watch Jeremy, you'll get a little more snowfall than I get and you're not that far south of me. Oh well......I still liked the forecast for Cincy KOW....

PS - I'm still envious of Buffalo's snowfall.....LOL I'm sure folks up there are tired of it. Our next door neighbor was born and raised there. When he shovels his driveway, he dumps all the snow in the street. So when you drive past his driveway/property, you have to drive thru several feet of snow. Every single time he does this (we pile it up on the sides of our driveway, never the street), my husband says - that must how they do it in Buffalo? LOL

You're right there... but LEX and SDF both have seen more measurable totals than here on at least one occasion (Feb. 4-6 1998)... We shall see there...... A few miles made a big difference in the Feb. '98 storm, some areas on the north side of Cincy got 8"... I got 15.5"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Envious of Buffalo, Miss Mary? LOL, I am
envious of YOUR'S!

Ahem...Birmingham? I like your thoughts on 5-10" for Atlanta, I'd take that for here in a heartbeat! I haven't had 10" combined for the last 5+ years.

[Guest]

Ok everyone! I have added a few more cities by request and as well others i felt should be added!

Thanks for all the remarks and comments!

[bkhusky2]

Hmm, 5-15", interesting. I have to go against ya though, even though I hope you are right!

KOW is REALLY bullish on Charleston, SC, snowfall, this winter. Honestly, I hope that actually verifies but since the records for Charleston are as follows.

Charleston, SC - average snowfall - 0.5" per year

Most snowfall in one storm - 8.0" (December 22nd-24th, 1989)
Most snowfall in the 24 hour period - 6.9" (February 1973)
Most snowfall in a calendar year - 8.9" (1989)

My guess is that KOW is thinking that one blockbuster snowstorm has the potential this winter to form and give the CHS area a nice coastal, sorta reminiscent of the 1989 storm. Just my $0.02.

Stormsfury, how did you do in Charleston on Jan. 25th 2000??? I know you guys had heavy snow falling at one point

Hey NJWx15 .. I just remembered this link from that event here in the Charleston area. The article was written by Eleanor Vallier-Talbot (now at Taunton, MA - NWS BOX) and occasionally posts here as well as Turtle742.

Sorry To say..... I doubt Topeka will get that much.

[Guest]

Giving this a little bump for the newer members and as well in relation to my thread about analogs..................Please respond to the analog thread in there and not here...............Thanks:-) As i said in that thread as well i will be adding to the city list soon..............

[nystate]

KOW, what can we expect in Upstate NY (Jefferson/Lewis Counties)? On average we get 150-300 inches annualy, with the higher amounts being in the southern parts of the counties.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm......Frick notices that Lafayette, LA isn't listed on the city snowfall list! LOL....after all she was promised snow!

[quote="king of weather"]Well here is my idea of who may get what as far as snow goes for the entire season! If your town and or area is missing let me know and i will add it! I just request that you add in your normal snowfall for your location when doing so....................I will add them (Edit) to this list as i get more!



Houston, TX (normal .4") 03-04: 1"- 10"
I fully agree and for southerngale i hope it comes through for her.
