Temps responding quickly here. Up to 48F now. NAM seemed to cut back on precip in eastern areas, which is fine by me. Now showing a little more than an inch by Saturday morning.
If we have to deal with the grinch, just hoping that front doesn't stall so we limit rain and basement flooding. The GFS looked like it had most of the precip overnight and into the morning, done by the afternoon, which might not be too bad.
Early December last year was decent...17" or so in that one event with about 27" for the month. Then it went downhill. The past two years have been under-performing but most winters are decent with good latitude for SWFEs and great coastal blizzards. Being close to the water can hurt sometimes but not always. Where in Hampton are you? I grew up in N. Hampton.
Looks cold enough to retain some of my meager pack this weekend despite the rain and wait for some chances next week. Better than what had been advertised a few days ago.
Under performed here. 2" measured this morning. Snow was nice to look at last night and very wintery feel today with some blowing snow. Went for a walk around the neighborhood and noticed the crackling sound in the trees when the wind blew enough to fracture the ice clinging to the branches. My old place in Nottingham must have done fairly well.
Sucker hole planted itself right over my house for the last hour. Will need to make up for it fast to even get to low end 4" amounts but we'll see. 35/33
