A foot total or a foot from 1 event?I’ve lived on this earth for 26 years and haven’t experienced a double digit snowfall! (Highest I’ve measured is around 9”).
In my mind if we have ~3-4 “small” snow events (~1”) and then one “big” snow (~3”+), I count the winter as a success.
93 Blizzard we had 18”Since then, we’ve never hit above 8”. This past December’s event, we got 5”. But, 8 miles up the road had 10”. We’ve had several in the 4-6” range since 93, but haven’t hit double digits since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I guess I am greedy or maybe just wishing for my childhood. But when I was a kid / teenager here in Tennessee you expected about three events a year that gave you 3-4 inches plus and one of those would end up being closer to 6 inches. Now a days people get excited for dustings/coatings or even seeing sleet because good snow has been hard to find lately
I've lived here 40 years and I've never seen a foot of snow.
that post there just blows me away Charles... I did not know that... and you have lived in a pretty good area for snow also... im quite bit older than you Charles..but your post sets a perfect example the climate has changed... my first 26 years of my life time... I say I experienced at least 10 snows in double digit... god knows how many I cant remember... I say the last 26 years of my life... I have see just one snow in double digits... late February 2009... I got 13 inches from that big bowling ball ull... the snow totals were very tight gradient... I just got luck that night...
Never seen a foot of snow here in one snowfall but we have been close at times over my lifespan. Our 24 hour record here is 12" inches set in like 1910. That is my what my snow goal is for here, a footer in one storm. It's a good goal, we made a run at it in 09 with the upper low in march we got 9 inches. The first snow I ever remember was 1969 Christmas eve we got 10 inches, that is what hooked me. In our great winters of the 70's and 80's we had a few 8 inches in one setting. And at one point in the seventies we were close to a foot on the ground with combined events a few times. One of these days in my lifetime we are going to make a serious run at it again I hope and believe.
wow... were close same age snowman... you sure u didn't get a foot snow out of the 85 winter bud?...I know you seen several double didgits in your life... 77 bet you got least one if not two 10 inch snows at least...
