CHARLOTTE,
NC (WBTV) – It was a warm and snowless winter across much of the Carolinas.
Only
a trace of snow fell in Charlotte the entire season, which has only happened
eleven times since records began in 1878.
A trace was also reported for the seasonal total in Asheville, the first
time ever that no measurable snowfall fell at the site in an entire winter
season. No snow fell at the
Greenville-Spartanburg Airport this winter, only the third winter this has
happened.
Almost
certainly a factor in our lack of snowfall was the very warm winter we
saw. Charlotte saw the warmest March on
record, with an average temperature of 61.3 degrees. April was actually cooler this year, with an
average of 61.1 degrees.
Greenville-Spartanburg shattered the old record for its warmest March on
record at 62.5 degrees. The previous
record was 60.6.
The
latest reported snowfall in Charlotte occurred on April 28, 1928 when a trace
of snow fell.
