About an inch or less most likely in most places, but again depending how & where the banding comes through there could be a couple inches added in isolated areas…

Yep, it’s why that break & the temperature getting over freezing for a few hours is going to be huge for avoiding any major ice damage… We will see how fast the cold air works in & re freezes everything… Hopefully we can hit another good band right before the storm pulls away… After 5 to 6pm

Yeah, thankfully that break between noon to around 6pm will be a key time to get allot of places plowed & to avoid major icing issues on most of the main roads & other side roads … Whatever doesn't and has snow fall on top will be pretty treacherous once it all freezes over again… Would be nice if we can get another 1-3 inches especially since some is being washed away now…

Unfortunately it’s just rain @ freezing rain here in my part of Glen Allen near short pump… I don’t expect it to turn over again until later this afternoon… this is going to cause major icing issues when this all freezes over later tonight especially on back roads and side streets… prob will be power issues in spots but hard to say how major that will be depending on where the temperatures stay around

Probably a good time to sleep! Looks like a decent break between now & around 6am in this area.. guessing it’s around 3 inches here in my part of Glen Allen but I could be wrong … I could see about the same added later today . (If we get lucky) kinda right on that line here ..(could get nothing) so will see.. This weekend looks to be interesting too, but not ready to talk about that yet until this one is over…

100% before it turns over to anything or shuts off for a few hours.. Why it’s better just to stay where it is for a longer time period (we can only wish) but northern areas prob will catch up a bit more to the southern areas as temps start to warm a bit

That mixing around that time is nothing new … you can see looking at the radar things will really start to dry out then for a few hours ..that’s just another reason why being under a good heavy band is key… The powerful thunderstorms are what is drying everything out even more at the moment… We all may not get a real big 2nd thump, if that keeps happening .. unless, we are lucky enough to stay cold enough when the thunder-snow bands move through later tonight/tomorrow

It’s all about if your lucky enough to be under a nice heavy banding .. grass isn’t even covered here yet off of Staples /295

Picture from Powhatan Va

Wow!!! What a difference it is already from Powhatan Va to just before 288 Capital one rd. Or was a white out with heavy snow in Powhatan .. main rds there already starting to get covered.. I’d say close to a half inch in spots.. once I got past Capital one 288 clear sailing just light wet snow from there to Short Pump so far

You can’t really watch the radar unless you actually have something hitting the ground .. most of it is Virga right now, also here in central VA the mountains steal allot of the precip and never make it over or split the percip up.. That’s why whenever the heavy bands set up is going to be key for the amount of snow everyone gets

This is why I don’t post much here .. The storm hasn’t even started yet & people are going nutty.. Dry air? that’s always at the start of every storm.. some of you either need to stop drinking or start and come back around 10pm By then there should be some decent action started and a better idea where this will all go .. smh lol

I hope you pay double to what ever employee does show up.. (if there is ice&snow) They deserve it ..

As I said before.. It almost always will mix here or dry air will always find a way in at some point… Still time for adjustments but it’s a better trend the last few runs with most models ..

Salt solution being put down on broad st/ short pump area already fwiw not sure if it’s just to get it down before the weekend rush but seems a bit early to be doing this
