blzbba Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 It's gone back and forth between light and heavy snow in the Forest Hill/Westover Hills area since approximately 5.00 PM. Hard to judge accumulation due to all the trees. Roads starting to slick up a bit. Very pretty snow, some of the biggest flakes I've seen in a while.

WhiteKEAN2004 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Very tough commute home from downtown. Now, I never would dream of bashing any met and in particular our good folks from Wakefield, but I guess, once I saw the rate of snow and the fact that it was sticking on I-95 some and making it slushy, I was surprised we did not get a WWA. I do see a special weather statement was posted. Just curious if it was considered or if the event is happening, a special weather statement serves the purpose or if that has more weight. Yeah, it's a tough call...dependent upon how literal you want to be with the criteria. It was pretty clear (to me anyway) that RIC itself wasn't going to make WWA criteria. Question at that point is do you go WWA anyway for impact or opt for a more short-term oriented product such as the SPS to drive home the point that the roads will be bad for a short period of time. Looking at obs, I'm glad that we made the decision we did. I'm just upset I missed/slept through the thunder...oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathervswife Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 OK, I refrained from trashing AKQ and I'm glad I did. There's only 2" on the ground, and that was their call when LWX had 4-8" and busted badly for CHO. Good call. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty wild, saw three flashes of lightning downtown. Darkest clouds since severe weather season. So, even though no big snow, still fun to watch all day. Hope you guys get a chance to catch your breath and hopefully we get something significant to track next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Fins Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 kudos to akq they nailed this one Agree. Looks like LWX is getting a lot of heat in the DC/MD thread. Might be because Wes and crew were ahead of the curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Still snowing lightly here with the temp hovering around 32/33.

Jman975 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Doubt these are the last flakes of the season. I hope so, I like seeing the snow. Every storm doesn't need to be like last years craziness, but a couple inches would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
