So.... How much more runs in a row do models have to keep showing the back end changing to snow to belive it?? Nam really wants to back end load the precip. That's a lot of precip after the 850's crash for ric.

It has been there for twelve runs of the GFS

GO COACH

cbs 6 ric

By 9 PM Wednesday, the metro should be seeing a wet snow that could be heavy at times. This snow will be due to the upper-level low that will be very intense. It wouldn't surprise me to hear a rumble of thunder or two as it is snowing, especially in areas to our east. The snow will be falling into surface temps that are still a few degrees above freezing, so although I think we could see a couple of inches of accumulation, it will occur on grassy surfaces, rooftops, etc. Roads might still be slick for the Thursday AM commute as the roads will be wet and temps will likely fall below freezing by sunrise. Here's a look at the way things should look at 9 PM Wed, followed by the temps at 7 AM Thursday

good stuff ric i was thinking about this stuff too. i wish you would do a thread just on these type of posts you ,they are always interesting

if you take out the first and last day of the month (damn timing) our highest would have been 48

do you know what the coldest hi temp for a winter is here

$10.00 we hit 70 degrees between hourly obs on feb 28th FTL :lol:

Midlo, the coldest daily high temperature at Richmond is 11°F set on two seperate days, February 11th and 12th 1899. The daytime high temperature only reached 12°F on January 19, 1994, January 9, 1970 and February 13, 1899.

I've been thinking about doing a thread on climate, but I just never have gotten around to doing. One day, I will though. BTW, I'm back to RIC Airport, now. :P

I echo midlo, interesting post even for someone who lives north of Richmond.

Thanks for popping in, Wes. :D

maybe i worded it wrong what is the lowest hi end hi for the winter season. like so far it is 67 this winter, have we ever had a winter with no hi over 60/65 does that make sense

Ok....

And the answer to that is 65°F....meaning that the warmest it got was only 65°F during the DJF period. Here are the top 3 lowest maximum winter daytime high temperatures.

65°F (1940-41, 1930-31)

67°F (2002-03)

68°F (1968-69, 1963-64, 1962-63, 1907-08, 1904-05, 1903-04, 1901-02, 1900-01)
