It’s snowing something pretty out there in RVA! .

Could you imagine? RVA getting to its annual average snowfall in the span of only two weeks of meteorological winter, ESPECIALLY in a La Niña, would be insane! .

Almost 10 pm and still snowing in Richmond. Crazy. And a really great storm! .

Well, I guess a watch pot truly never boils because I laid down for a nap, and it looks like things picked up a bit while I was asleep. And it’s still snowing! .

Where are you located again? .

I wish we would see heavier stuff in the city. It’s very fine here. Like literal dust. .

And yeah, I’m just eyeballing, but I would put The Fan/Carytown at only a half inch so far. Maybe an inch in some spots. .

What do you think is going on in the city? Weird micro-climate things? Urban heat island effect? I’m genuinely perplexed by how this storm seems so much weaker inside the city limits versus when I was outside of them at my job today day. .

There was much more accumulation already in the Bon Air neighborhood south of Richmond. Back in the city proper, it’s still a heavy coating, and the snowflakes are large in quantity, but very, very tiny otherwise. .

Hope that’s coming our way! It’s very, very light here in Carytown. .

I’m not really sure what’s going on over Richmond proper. It is snowing at a decent clip, but the flakes within the city limits are very minuscule in size. Definitely not going to reach the forecasted amount with these, I wouldn’t think. .

It’s wild the difference between downtown and Bon Air. The grass, trees, and elevated surfaces have been coated for over an hour here, even despite the small flake size. .

It’s lightly starting to snow in Bon Air. .

The NAM is in its range, right? I think that’s what I’ve read here? It shows a similar outcome as the EURO. .

We should move our official reporting to somewhere else. .
