Exactly, Huff. Otherwise, the Southland would get more snow events in the Winter. Amazing - The NC record for a single snowstorm have occurred in April and May ... tied at 60".
April 2nd-5th, 1987 - A late-season snowstorm set many snow records from parts of the South to eastern Ohio. NC's state storm record of 60" was set at Newfound Gap. (Tied 5 years later on May 7th-9th, 1992 at Mt. Pisgah). Alabama records set for April: 6" at Birmingham (3rd) and Mobile's first time snow flurries (3rd).
May 8th, 1992 - A vigorous upper level low pressure system stalled out over the Carolinas for the past 3 days unloaded tremendous amounts of snow over the Western North Carolina Mountains above 4000 ft. Mt. Pisgah (elev- 5,721 ft) recorded 60 inches of snow, an all-time record for the mountain, and tying the NC state record for a single-storm. Mt. Mitchell (6,684 ft elev.) was whitened with 30 inches of snow. On the previous day, Greenville-Spartanburg, SC (Greer) NWS had snow mixed with rain, making this the latest date and the first time in May that snow had fallen at this location.
