I’m gonna take a break from this forum until tomorrow morning. I fear we’ve already busted before it begins. Not trying to be a gloomer it’s just what happens here with these types of systems. I’ll be happy with 1-2 with sleet on top at this point. Good luck everyone. Hope I’m wrong!
I’d be shocked in ric and surrounding counties even got 1-2 as it stands. I don’t get paid as a meteorologist though. I’m not as optimistic today and there really is not a good reason to be. Warm air is arriving faster than the good 4-5 hours of snow we should’ve been getting according to every model other than the HRRR.
They’re calling for rain to start the storm then transition to snow for like 3 hours then all frozen pretty much until 9 am Monday then heavy rain from 9-12 and maybe back end snow at 4-8.
Tbh I think I have a permanent skepticism here unless it actually happens. Can’t blame me. The rug has been pulled too many times to count in the last 5 years.
If we get 3-6, 4-8, 8-12 (DT is delusional and will never hear the end of that map in my opinion) we all lucked out. Anything more than 3 is a gift of god.
Nah man depending on where you gotta go you’ll be fine. RIC roads if they get “bad” will be fine by Tuesday. These talks of us getting nuked, where is it coming from??
RIC usually gives us the most hope in this thread. It kind of feels slower this morning. My gut is in a hard place of feeling like I’ll wake up with a dusting followed by freezing rain that gets rid of it all. It’s hard to shake that feeling around here. Models did trend a bit North this morning as well.
Seems like we’re set between 1-4. I really hope it’s on the high end. HRRR looks really good at the start but I’m afraid of the notorious dry slotting.
