cbscott126 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Nasty accident on 295 this morning because of the frozen pea soup. It would be really nice to see the storm 2/4 trend about 200 miles north. It will be depressing to watch OBX get another snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inudaw Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 So... thoughts on convection for mid-weak storm anyone? That's some cold front that will come through mid week.. Look at the temperature gradient.. incoming.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inudaw Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Meh, thunderstorms in winter are not fun. I'm hoping for some snow a week from now. I'm not a huge fan of tracking thunderstorms anyway. I was more impressed with the temperature gradient more than anything with that image. O-o This whole mid-week storm has one impressive temperature gradient with it. It's more inline what I thought most of the winter would of been like.. with tracks that track in a similar matter... first NNE then turning ENE around the South-East ridge.

All those blowtorch calls are really looking stupid. This January has been colder than last year. And the LR still does not look anything blow torchy. I still see more opportunities for snowfall. And who knows what March will bring. Don't ever under estimate that month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inudaw Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Enjoy it....... I hate the run actually... from hour 108.. to hour 132 the overall arctic air mass modifies massively.. and the stupid Great lakes low comes in just in time to leave you questioning whether or not this could trend warmer...

Relies on perfect track of the surface low.. :x The run verbatim is still snow... but there is no room for error really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks for posting! I like the top and bottom ones because they really describe the rare conditions experienced in Richmond. Temperatures in the upper teens to around 20°F, 1-2" per hour, less than 1/4 visibility for most of the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temperatures in the upper teens to around 20°F, 1-2" per hour, less than 1/4 visibility for most of the day! Completely agree. It's so rare in RIC to get pure-play snow like we had with that storm. Meanwhile, 1 year later it's sunny and temps are headed into the 50s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
