Coach McGuirk Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 50 page rule over here, Midlo? 20 here already with plenty of snow on the ground still. I would prefer to keep this to one thread all winter so it's easier to go back and track what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach McGuirk Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Dons map looks good. I am just in the 3-5 area Slater said little to no snow accumulations yesterday at his 5 PM broadcast. Now he's just copying Wakefield's snow forecast. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 5 or 6 years ago we had an event like this in January/February and it truly shut down Richmond. I remember the night before, Andrew Freiden said that it was only going to snow a dusting to an inch. They only busted by two inches, but the havoc that insued is what really made it memorable. Since the temperatures had been near or below freezing for the past week, the snow stuck instantly and created an extremely slick layer of packed snow on the roads. I could definitely see a repeat (it was also a clipper). RIC is back to being a legit snow town now. The 1990s and 2000s are gone....we are back to the 60s!

WeSuck Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Dons map looks good. I am just in the 3-5 area Something I just don't get with Slater is how he ALWAYS turns the accumulation arears up like that right over Southside. I just don't get it... BTW wavy's in house model has rain all the way from 3pm to 9pm what is that about?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I meant to mention this earlier, but yesterday's daily departure from average at RIC was -17. It's not often we get cold departures of that magnitude. Truly, this has been a great month and I hope it comes within the top 10 snowiest and coldest.

MidlothianWX Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Finally able to get back on this site. DT's call for 4-7" for the metro area is looking good.
