CarolineWx Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 That Low in Maine is suppressing everything on this run, that Low Keeps going more and more south up in the Northeast every run it seams like, normally i would say the clipper would end up more north but with the block in the Northeast that may not happen this time.

Billabong Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 There have been a couple decent snows for ORF in December...speaking of which "This Day in Local Weather History: December 02 1896 Winter Storm: 8.0" snow Norfolk" Yup. I was just mentioning the record because it may be in reach. The 2 day total (between Dec 2 and 3, 1896) for that storm was 11.0". It holds tied spot #8 for all-time record snowfalls for ORF.

JB Fins Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Wish I could stay up to usher them in but too late a night last night. Here is hoping, and here is to keeping the magical 12/5 chance of snow alive this weekend. Great to find you guys again. I will have to check my home e-mail but it was either MidlothianWX or RICAirport that PM'd me so thanks. BTW...love the avatar MidlothianWX. The Sycamore Square Ukrop's sign! I worked for the Krops for 9 years, the last few at the Main Office in IT and when I went to that store and saw that sign, I thought it was the scariest thing associated with Ukrop's.

Yeah, the only thing I think they might be right on is that the models may be killing to much moisture before making it to the east side of the mountains.

I don't, it's usually the other way around. The only way I see SEVA or NENC doing well is if the clipper can turn north as it hits the coast. Every model now has it straight out to sea. So right now I see this as being a non event. Maybe we get some light snow showers but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 A few 20-30 Dbz showing up now on radar. Any flakes reaching the ground out there? Are you looking at composite reflectivity?

Still have a couple days to watch though. This now reminds me of when Cape Hatteras got a foot of snow back in 2003-2004? A power clipper comes though but doesn't really do much until the low strengthens just off the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A power clipper comes though but doesn't really do much until the low strengthens just off the coast. All the pieces really did come together that day. Sub-zero wind chills across the outer banks.. The storm that hit OBX was in January 2003. I was a student at ODU at the time. Jon Cash was all over it, but the storm turned out to be a disappointment for southside Hampton Roads. For days, it looked as if SE VA would be in the bulleye and the storm trended farther south about 24 hours out. The heaviest accumulations took place in the SE sections of Va Beach, particularly the Princess Anne and Pungo areas. Oceana Naval Airbase recorded 4" but, toword Norfok and Portsmouth, accumulations were generally around 1-2". There were some pretty cold days late that month with only around 20F.

December 2000 was a very cold December, but only delivered about 2.0" for the entire month. We had a very disappointing start and finish to that month. December 2-3, 2000, I remember AKQ putting watches up for 6-8" across metro RIC while RDU and ORF were to get crushed. Then December 29-30th.....same thing, but a miss to the north.

I was actually living in that area at the time... I grew up in Princess Anne a few miles from Sandbridge right before you'd get into Pungo. It's unrecognizable now... super targets, super walmarts, and a shopping center on every corner it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a rare snow day at ODU. When I was going there, we were always the last to close and often just had delays while everyone else were closed. I was living off Ferrell Parkway at the time and also worked part-time in the electronics section of the super-Walmart at Princess Anne and Lynnhaven Rds.
