Answer 3

Certainly! If you are living beneath a trough in North Carolina, it means that the jet stream is dipping down in that area, bringing in colder air. The trough can also create instability in the atmosphere, resulting in the potential for precipitation. Since you are in the winter season, the combination of cold air and precipitation would likely result in very cold and snowy conditions in your town.
