DJnVa Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Need some reports from Chesapeake. Nice 35 dbz ragging through. Norfolk looks like +2 inches on the way Really heavy now...big flakes. Been like this for the past 35 minutes or so. My last measurement was 9.5 and it's gotten heavy since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 THE BIG QUESTION now is... will ORF break 12" for the first time since 1989??? It will be close! Intensity rates decreasing a bit so yes, it will be extremely close if it doesn't make it. Still, a hefty snowstorm and an extremely snowy December. BTW, any preliminary report for KRIC?

csnavywx Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 ORF has a good chance of doing so. Radar indicates the southern edge has slowed down quite a bit in the last 40 mins as a result of some redevelopment there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inudaw Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 4" at RIC...we're awaiting the official report from the COOP in Sandston. That's right. I don't think its going to go above that. I have maybe 4.5" Just south east of the Airport. Not sure how much compacting happened during the lull before the snow came back in. But there not much over 4.5" here south east of the Airport.

weathervswife Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Officially 4.5" at RIC through 2 pm, FWIW.. That should prevent rioting and other weenie mob violence this time.

My parents live fairly close by in Mechanicsville, and they are telling me 5" there. That measurement is dead on though. There really is only about 4.5" on the ground, and I'm a bit south-east of the airport. Not sure we can squeeze out another .5" or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxMan1 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 That's right. I don't think its going to go above that. I have maybe 4.5" Just south east of the Airport. Not sure how much compacting happened during the lull before the snow came back in. But there not much over 4.5" here south east of the Airport. Inudaw... That's exactly what was concerning us this time yesterday. That sharp gradient w-e in terms of going from 4-6" to amounts WAAAY over 6". I live in SE Chesterfield (Chester) and I'm hearing reports of 5.5-6.5". Meanwhile west of Powhatan and Goochland...a lot less (poor Weatherswife....but that's why we weren't so "quick" in throwing Louisa/Fluvanna in a watch yesterday...we all worried about that dry air N-NW). Meanwhile, after all of this, it appears 4-6" for the RIC corridor (give or take an inch) will work out fine. 18Z NAM and 15Z SREF yesterday were pretty good for central VA. What's so frustrating for all of us here in central/eastern VA from a snow forecast perspective is the often "disconnect" we see with the warm advection bands, the "lull", and the eventual mid lvl deformation. When you get to NJ and northward, the system is so wound up that there is very little disconnect in the precip shield. We often don't have that luxury. At least where I live, over the past several snow events, there has been a much longer "lull" in forcing/precip between the WAA stuff and eventual dynamical bands. The models just don't do a very good job with that...they're often to "smooth" with the QPF output, especially being very "liberal" with the 0.25-0.50" contours. NAM12 is somewhat better, but only in the near term. Thanks for all the reports fellas; keep 'em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeSuck Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 14" now! BTW is the storm slowing down due to it being captured or is it just the pinwheel effect creating the slow down? Anyway, heavy snow still! I see 16" as a high probability here. Just opened my first beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
