Carolina Weather: Snow Recap, Monday’s Deep Freeze & The Science of AM Radio [Ep. 566]

This week on the Carolina Weather Group, James and Frank recap a busy week of wintry weather in the Carolinas—including the bizarre "man-made" snow flurries generated by steam from local power plants!

In this episode:
Snow Recap: A look back at the recent snowfall in Maggie Valley, Boone, and the Virginia border.

"Nuclear Snow": How steam from the Catawba Nuclear Station turned into flurries over Charlotte.

The Forecast: Tracking an Alberta Clipper for Friday and a major Arctic cold front arriving Sunday that will drop Monday morning temperatures into the teens and single digits.

Christmas Outlook: Early thoughts on whether we will see a White Christmas or a warm-up.

Radio History: A deep dive into the legendary WBT 1110 AM moving to the FM dial. Frank and James "nerd out" on the science of radio signal propagation, ground waves vs. sky waves, and the history of clear channel stations.
