If ORF officially exceeds 7.2", it would be the biggest snowstorm since February 1989.

Here are the biggest events since then....4.0" or more.

6.5" January 30-31, 2010

5.0" December 26, 2004

7.2" January 2-3, 2002

4.7" January 25, 2000

7.1" February 3-4, 1996

6.2" January 6-8, 1996

LOL Wheeler on WAVY is like...."I have been looking at the last few frames and it seems like maybe the storm is trying to move a little east of north which could lower totals..." HAHAHAH Does he not realize it's going to be captured and pulled back to the coast?! Anyway, he has everyone in 7-11"

4.3 inches here. 28 degrees. Wind has picked up some. The snow has gotten considerably heavier since 7. It's also become drier than the snow last night.

just under 4" here. reminds me of march 2009 first batch was wet slop then the second wave was dry and piled on nice

What I remember was the gap in precip between the first batch and upper level energy.

That was a great storm and what it made so special was that it was RIC's first 6 inch event in quite a few years. We had graupel and BLSN to boot followed by a couple days of record low temperatures.

I must say that I'm extremly happy for extreme SE VA, particuarly southside Hampton Roads. You really, REALLY deserved this and I hope the highest totals verify at ORF.....10"+. :thumbsup:

Looks like Franklin, Ivor, Waverly, Isle of Wight, and Newport News around Fort Eustis are going to be in the sweet spot for quite a while.
