IVE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE!!!!

NBC12 : WINTER STORM NEXT WEDNESDAY SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE WRIC / WTVR : Models hinting at possible winter storm next week.

Honestly shocked the NBC12 put out that graphic so far out. That is a backtrack waiting to happen. If it happens, good for them. If not, that’s a bad look.

LIES! All of it….. LIEEEEEEES I tell you! I’ve seen this before!!!

Mmm, no. Not really premature. The GFS was so incredibly wrong about this weeks storm it cannot be trusted unless it redeems itself in a huge way. The euro is shifting this thing west as it usually does and likely will continue to do. If I’m mistaken, I said 1-2 all along for Tuesdays system while other numbers were being thrown around. I stand by the EURO as it has proven its worthiness. The NAM also did extremely well while the HRRR didn’t. If you think it’s premature to say this scenario won’t likely happen, that’s fine. I stand by what I think is accurate.

EURO says no sir and GFS here’s 1 inch. Womp womp.

Man, that was the nastiest weather day we've had in a long while. Pretty cold this morning, dumping cold ass rain and ugly snow on the ground.

I had low expectations coming into it due to the NAM and EURO. While I knew it wouldn’t perform the way we all wanted there were moments of truly beautiful snow. Heaviest bands I’ve seen in a long long time.

I know you guys are about over this system, I apologize. Still frozen precip falling so it's still intriguing me.

Still pretty much all sleet here. Will this cause issues in the morning?

Picked up half an inch in the last 30 minutes. Crazy how weird this system is. 5 miles to my East it's all sleet, here it's mostly snow but going back and forth. These heavier bands are allowing for more snow.

Back to a heavy snow / sleet mix. Roads are gonna be awful tonight into the morning.

Nice! Glad you guys up there won. 1-2 isn't terrible. Local mets should've gone with 1-3 or 2-4. Not the 3-6 or 4-7 ranges.

Typically I'd agree with you on this but I'm hoping for as much frozen precip as possible to hopefully get a remote day tomorrow.

The GRAF has no turnover to all rain. NAM and HRRR are very close as well. We may be dealing with an icy nightmare tomorrow morning. All the models are showing essentially all frozen precip through the evening.

About two inches measured.

This mixture I have falling right now is creating bad roads and higher measurements immediately. Heaviest snow so far.

Back to moderate snow / sleet here.

I’m pretty positive that will all be sleet in RIC. Ashland likely snow.

If more snow falls in an hour or so we could see a bit higher totals but 1-2 inches is pretty much spot on at this point. Not the best but hey at least we tracked something and have white on the ground. LR models are saying we aren’t done yet.

Heavier bands out to the west may make their way over here to allow more snow.

All sleet here in western Henrico. Left work 20 mins ago. Several cars in accidents on 64. One truck was upside down near Glenside drive. If you’re one of the people going 10mph in the fast lane (I mean literally 10mph) on the highway, please just stay home.

Feel pretty good about my 0.5 inches to 2 inches call at this point. That’s about it for snow here.

It has all turned to sleet now. That sucks. Fun while it lasted.
