Snow pretty much done now. 5 measurements... all between 4.5 and 5" ... Place where I have been measuring was just shy of 5" . I'll go with 4.75" as the final for my yard near the airport. ^^

4.5" Now. Warning status achieved.

Don't have a favorite football team. LIved in Richmond Va all my life outside of my time at college. Follow baseball more (Atlanta Braves)

Nope. Graduated from Pennsylvania state University though. XD

3.25" best by far today. 0.75" Last hour. AKQ nails another storm!

2.5" now. 0.5" the last hour. Not bad.

About 2" now near Richmond Airport.

1.75" here now. Going to be hard to get that last 0.25 for 2".. looking at the edge of "heavier" returns right now.

1.5" Here near the Airport now. Could squeak out another 0.5" for it wraps up.

The Official airport going to see less do to not being in the areas where they are increased totals in around other parts of Richmond.

Yep south of the red line.

Anyone in this red line area is going to get less than other areas around.

This usually happens when there is low confidence of where and how much accumulations would be. Its a way to cover the uncertainty of the event. But yea its comes off as a bit lazy.

Sref are pretty much an indicator of what the NAM will most likely do. Works a majority of the time.

3 to 6 is a good conservative guess right now if you kick out the Nam from the thought process. Most guidance is around 3.3 for the minimum to around 7 for the max from west to east across the metro. So if you want to cover for the higher potential.. THe absolute max I'd go would be 5 to 10.... With a more reasonable 4 to 8 for the metro area. Down toward Hampton roads its a whole different animal. They will get more precipitation total obviously, but it depends on how much and IF they mix with sleet or freezing rain down there. Their upside is higher.. but with the added risk of loosing totals to mix. 6 to 12 seems good down there.. 6 if you mix to much.. 12 if you stay snow.
