Oh man, they are going to lose their collective minds up there if we beat their totals with this one.
-
I am near west end, in Tuckahoe near UR. Miss my Goochland address from a few years back, always good for 1 to 2 inches more. If we can get 4 to 6, I will be more than happy. Just want enough to play with the kids and dog in before the changeover.
-
Nah, never a warning level but we were under a watch and then they went, seems rightfully so at this point, with the WWA (the price is right horns in my head typing that).
-
Well, if anybody can bring us some luck, it's a post from Midlo. Hate waking up to the WWA, it's like making the JV Basketball Team or going to the prom with your cousin. Holding out hope the short range models are on to something and get us in warning criteria.
-
Just me lamenting...temps and mixing are always an issue here so just years of frustration for not living further north or west.
-
No doubt. I think they will all err on the low side, easier to explain that than calling for a foot and getting 2 inches. If we have to work this hard for a shot at 4 to 5 inches, geez, just don't know how many storms we have left in this area.
-
I thought it ticked up to 4-6" with some of the maps they posted in the storm thread. I have very bad and worse, untrained eyes so I could be mistaken but it even looks like we pick up a nice slug of moisture on the backend.
-
That's a slight improvement for us in central VA compared to previous runs is it not? 0.4 to 0.9? Has the EURO ever caved to the NAM? I know they all have their victories but hard to bet against the King in winter.
-
From what I can recall, yes. RIC_Airport and Inudaw can probably weigh in on that one. As we know, usually wise given our climo, to go conservative and bump up during the event if needed.
-
Yes, please don't let that be a representation of us folks down here.
-
I had to bite my tongue in that thread last night as I know it's always IMBY for them but if anybody, say, like Richmond chimes in wishing for snow, they get shot down. Haven't checked other locals, 12 going conservative, or a blend, 2-4", change to rain, leaves door open for backside. Looks like Wakefield calling it that way as well at the moment.
-
Board is getting crushed. Rather have the temps not be an issue, so if we get 4-6 and just some light drizzle before a 1/2 inch on the backend, I would be satisfied.
-
I would take the Ukie in a heartbeat, 7" and then it can just be light precip just no rain. We never seem to do as well on the backend, I always seem to recall the mets calling for more as the storm pulls away but it's never more than flurry or two I feel.
-
Yeah, when we get dustings like this I have to come up with descriptive measurements over actual measurements. I am calling this Cole Slaw out here in Tuckahoe.
-
Well, now I am depressed. Don't know what it is, turned 50 a few months back and just jonesing for a big snow here to feel young again and now it's looking like a few inches washed away creating a slurpee like landscape for a little bit.
-
Yep, 46 here. Wonder if the cloud cover was going to prevent us from that upper 20's forecasted low tonight.
-
Yeah, it's tough to be in the other thread with all the champagne corks popping. Hoping for a shift so we can all cash in. I will take a 6-8" with sleet and call it a season. Don't want that little bit of snow with all the rain puddles where you can't do anything with it except get soaked.
-
Okay, now I guess we are on pins and needles until 1:00. If Euro steps toward GFS and Icon, I will lose my giddiness and actually get back to work.
-
I am a bit antsy now about Sunday/Monday given the discussion in the other thread. Seems like temps will most certainly be an issue for us as depicted now and as we know through history. I just hate the angst of sitting through rain and waiting for a changeover. Remember a storm, think March of 2009, where it rained most of the day Sunday and transitioned and we got 11" so know it happens but just have snow starved lately, don't want to see 3" of slop while to the north they get 2'.

January Storm Term Threat Discussions (Day 3 - Day 7)
JB Fins replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
My favorite winter weekend of all time. Stayed up with TWC all night. Drank Coronas and ate chocolate chip cookies. Airport here at RIC said we got like 11", I measured 21" at my apartment. Ah, memories. -
Usually NBC12 sounds the alarm with their First Alert Weather Day the first sign of an impactful Euro Run, was surprised Duncan mentioned, and I am paraphrasing, more rain than anything else with the Sunday/Monday threat.

Just missing your old avatar...I miss the weather weenie superhero. My mistake, that might be DD Weatherman or something of that ilk. -

Well, to his defense, your profile does have KRIC. -
Well, they certainly must not like frustration, depression or tears because we have that in spades.
-
Yeah, they are lining up at the cliff in that thread. Hoping for WSW criteria snow. Guess we will have to see the impact of tomorrow's system and where the models go from there.
