Just to squelch the idea of "huge" storm for those in central/south east Va. The Euro only gives the area between 0.25 and 0.5 percip. 0.25 in Richmond.. and 0.5 for Norfolk. :X Modest event.

Seems the system is evolving into something more complicated than the original sure bet bowling ball scenario to more of an event depending on how it phases with the northern stream along the east coast. (like the last threat that fizzled. )

even an inch or 2 of snow is an inch or 2 more than we ever get on christmas. but i agree, the trend seems to be for no storm at all. still better for us though.

Is the timing also slower with the Euro? If so, would it be late X-mas/ 26th for snow in VA?

I'll take it.

Ever since the storm modeled on Thurday's Euro failed to come to fruition, I am very wary when the Euro shows SE Va getting hit. Don't get me wrong here, I want snow just as much as the next guy. The models seem to be having issues with storms 48hrs let alone 120hrs out. I think that we will have a much clearer picture by Christmas Eve. P.S. I would love a storm to come through so that I can put my new Vantage Vue to the test :thumbsup:

In 14 minutes you went from March 1980 to the trend seems to be for no storm at all.

just being mindful of what happened this past saturday. we went from a dt 1st guess of 40% chance of 8+ to nothing. we will be fine if there is no further out to sea trend.

Yeah, it feels awfully early and I am still nervous...but just to see it in black and white is something I have not experienced. I remember the ice we had back earlier this decade on Christmas Eve, not really snow as much as a black ice Christmas. I think, I think, I recall the .1 in 1993. I definitely remember rain turning to snow flurries in 1981 on Christmas Day Night. That was a wild stretch because in 1982 it was a very warm Christmas, 60's or 70's and then 83 was bitter cold.
