March in like a Lion… I’d say so!

What a wild Sunday and start to the turbulent month of March. March is often a crazy month and this storm should leave no doubt. I working on compiling all the totals and data and hope to post something later today or tonight. Depends on how busy I get back in the Storm Center.
Here are some amazing facts about the storm, in the first time I have seen this Charlotte set both a record rainfall for the day and a record snowfall for March 1st.
Rainfall 2.18” (old record 2.17 2007)
Snowfall 4.0” (old record 3.0” 1969)
All this happened in a 24 hour period on March 1, 2009!
Here’s a quick satellite showing the swath of
snow from space.
