Charlotte's Weekend Snowstorm Eyes a Top-10 Single-Day Snowfall

Charlotte's weekend snowstorm could rank among the city's top 10 single-day snowfall totals, with 6.1 inches recorded at the airport and forecasts of 8–9 inches overall. Officials note it likely won't crack the top five for overall snowstorms, but could push into the top 10 for 24-hour totals, a list already led by historic single-day surges such as 14.0 inches in 1902 and 12.1 inches in 1988. The event stands out against a decade that averaged just 1.7 inches of snow per season, and dangerously cold temperatures are expected to follow.
