Really coming down again in the city! It’s gorgeous out.

On the bright side, it has already snowed more this winter than last—not that that was a high bar or anything. You can only go up from nothing.

Fully over to sleet in the Fan near VCU.

Snowing moderately in Bon Air. Just changed over about 10 minutes ago.

Fwiw, DT basically just called it off for RVA. Said any snow that does fall here will very quickly change over to rain.

So, given the trends, what’s RIC looking like? I assume next to nothing, because that seems to be the long running normal at this point.

This is not for the storm coming up in 5 days.

Or Richmond. Or Hampton Roads.

Well, they don’t really consider Richmond and Hampton Roads part of the Mid-Atlantic. At least, that’s the vibe the bellyaching folks give off.

I’m starting to get concerned that even in a Nino, we can’t seem to score winter weather systems. I’ve been wondering for awhile, if central Virginia and especially the Tidewater have passed some kind of threshold with regards to changing climate where it just doesn’t really snow anymore.

Getting genuinely curious what it’s gonna take for it to snow more than a heavy dusting in the city again? It is only January, but time moves quick, and we won’t be in an El Niño forever.

It is really coming down in the Fan. Beautiful to see after last “winter”.

Seconded, please.

I’m not sure where else to ask this, but my family and I are heading down to Carolina Beach, NC on vacation tomorrow through next Saturday, and my mom is freaking out because Weather Channel is saying rain everyday. Anyone have a more detailed analysis? Is it looking like a (literal) wash next week?

This is the heaviest I’ve seen it snow in Richmond since the December 2018 storm. Absolute whiteout outside.
