Yep plz for the 50 mi north shift... Richmond has enough of these 1-3 storms.. ha

yeah starting to fill in nicely in the area.. prob will just miss out on the real extended period of steady/ heavy snow... Sleet mixing in prob will make roads worse since it looks like almost all the roads have not been treated... (be careful on the bridges and overpasses).. Main roads mainly just wet at the moment..(but again since not treated could cover up quickly in places) Id say in about an hour (9:30 or so) we should get a nice hit from the precip working up this way up from SW VA/NC if it all holds together.. looks like a good batch of steady/mod snow...

Yes I know.. Just saying, it's so disorginized in this area right now, that some places could be getting barely anything....while just a few mins away could be making out allot differently...prob best to just look at the radar hallucinations/ water vapor loop & get real time updates from other users at this point.

At this point I don't think we need to look at the models... Still could be on the higher /lower end of the 1-3 prediction in most of the area..

Channel 12 forcast is a bit off ...they maybe right about totals but I doubt it turns to rain at 12 noon .. In all of the Richmond area... Unless we totally miss the low from the west

As luck would have it ...we are now in the screw zone to start off this storm, between the developing precip on the coast and the low wrapping around from the west... The storm is Def not orginized at all yet,..looks like we will be in and out of this zone for the next few hours with on and off light mix..Looks to me, it will be about the 7 am hour until we get out of this first lull... (West end Glen Allen)

Could easily over preform here if we get the banding to set up right.. Then again dry air/mix could kill us.. . If we can get some good precip in here around the 3am timeframe that could make a big difference..Really won't know till the precip is just about over the area ...I'm at 35 degrees out here in Glen Allen at the moment so this def could go either way...

I was hoping we could hold onto the heavy precip from this first round a little longer but looks like its just going to miss out on most of the area..Temps prob will bounce back up again a degree or two for a bit....... Def going to be close with the 2nd system looks like its def could blow up and stall for a bit...where it does will be key...... Hopefully we can avoid the dry air and have the cold air in rush in faster then expected..

Where the banding sets up & sits is going to make a big difference ...its def going to be hit & miss with this one.... Prob willl be allot of places that get almost nothing, then just a few miles away get walloped..(dry area always is the key around here also) and how fast that moves in..

Yep 2nd wave we have a shot .. I'd expect pretty much the same result as last storm as of now... For our area.. Maybe a little more on the main roads if we can get it in here at night ..

maybe could catch a little of the pivot up the coast.. but I wouldnt count much on it.. Seemed to slow a bit the last few mins where i am.. def better south

starting to accucm on back roads/shaddy areas.. may make and inch... Starting to end nw to south tho.. Don't think we will catch the wrap around out here...

radar looks pretty decent right now...but prob will be backing back off soon as the storm gets going off the coast....... too bad we cant wedge some more cold air in here.. owell..

dropped to 35 here..... at least its better then cold rain.. ha... .Prob will end up with a coating or so on grassy/shaded areas.. if we can keep up the mod snow after dark.. To bad it was just daylight savings.. ha

I say that and it starts snowing decent here.. ha ... who knows..

doubtfull with the temps where they are at unless this really slows down or we get a real heavy burst here in Richmond ... Maybe we can squeeze out enough for a nice picture of snow on the grass/tree areas...The beach areas may get something before it really blows up ... So painfully close.....

Some white rain looking to push into the area...

Yeah... I prob cut this in 1/2 for the Richmond area.. Even getting to 1 to 3 is a win for this area this time of year... ha

We'll we def had that jog south with most models .. Maybe a bit too much too fast... I still think we are In a decent spot at the moment, but of course temps still gonna be an issue for where the snow/rain line sets up.. If anyone can post the clown/precp maps in this forum on the next few runs our area that would be great.. Here is the a few of the overnight runs (credit to the mid atl thread) And the Euro:

Yep, prob not good sign this early...Good thing is there is still time for a nudge or two south... Need that cold wedge to get in here somehow.. Its not like we are not use to being on the line...

Still going back and forth on the snow /rain line here.(Richmond area). Guess nobody has any faith around here huh? Can say I blame you all...

prob wont happen like this, but last shot at snow for the season for the Richmond Area most likely on the 11th/12th timeframe...

I said this last night.... I def can see it happen.. really depends how fast it moves.. but with the sun setting now def a good chance to add up quick down there.. Also getting a little light burst again out here in the west end... still only about 2 here tho

the vcu ram cam looks about the same amount then here where I am (not much) the borderline temps with the salt def making a difference with this light snow... https://ramcam.vcu.edu/ Down to flurry at the moment here in VA COMMONS (1:49pm) radar really showing the drop off in rates/coverage area the past hour def seems to be transferring out to the coast... http://www.intellicast.com/Local/WxMap.aspx
