JMU2004 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I just hope 1 of these storms works out for us. Last year was ok, but it was quite weak when compared to most areas around us. I really do feel like this area is the ultimate screw zone when it comes to getting the REALLY big snows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patreeot Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 You know, looking at the radar and how fast all the moisture is drying up, I'd be surprised if we got anything over a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patreeot Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 :whistle: :whistle: I prefer Ric Screw Zone to dryslot. Or do we bring back the ole Klingon Anti-Snow Shield? DT's Snow Anus was pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That phrase seems more applicable to the Chester area IMO. After all, we have over 12" on the year up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to have more than that. I think you're not measuring all the snow that's fallen this year. I missed out on the majority of the 3" Midlo picked up in the banding the other day and I'm at 7.5". I think you've missed a storm somewhere.

Midlo Snow Maker Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 final call storm is striped of moisture 850 0c line comes blowing west probably ends up in louisa some where (climo) ric gets snow at sad rates but beacuse the ground is cold, and initial ratios it will stick from the get go if the ground was warmer this would be a several hours of light snow that woud never stick, and then we ges pingers with rain maybe a brief burst on the back end. things that are killing us are the surface low in the ohio valley, and the 850 low way out west, late phase job. i can't believe the hook job this storm is about to do with all the snow down south and then up north and va in the screw zone from what looked so good in the long and medium range but as every storm some one will get a surprise and others will get the shaft but hey most are above avg for the year can't complain for ric.especially since most thought this would be a torch winter ----BUST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably double what I'm thinking for all of VA except maybe the Northern Neck. Just our luck we get a little bit of snow and then enough freezing drizzle to cause a couple hundred accidents. Probably out of the cards, but a day or two ago one of the gfs runs had BUFKIT showing .25" freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 FWIW: Something rainstorm wanted me to post here... Going by the assumption that the snow line will stay further south than originally predicted, I could see SE VA getting 1-3"+ before the changeover (and then a little more AFTER the changeover if it happens!) ...the earlier push of -SN from western VA was a bit of a surprise, and it has dissipated recently (due to the drier atmosphere) and could help the atmosphere in reaching the saturation levels it needs to drop stuff to the ground. Nowcasting via the NC/VA radar indicates that SE VA should be in the accumulating snow in about 5 hours... if that SN/+SN band in central NC can hold its ground I could see the 1-3" verifying in SE VA. Unless there is some very traumatizing dry air over SE VA, they'll get hit by accumulating snow. EDIT to note that the 5 hours call was from about a half/full hour ago...

This page: http://www.rap.ucar....ce/java_metars/ (or the similar one on aviationweather.gov) shows the METAR reports and you can use these to judge where the actual precip. is falling.

Ellinwood - you are more than welcome to post in here. I'd take you any day over 90% of the posters over in that other thread. It's tough to navigate through that crap when most of it consists of weenie forecasts and bickering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inudaw Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 This.... Sorry.... based on the the evolution.. seems the moisture just does not quite reach the area (not much at least) from the south. The northern stream energy then energized the system by the time it has passed our latitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
