SeanVA Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 What was the bet this time? I bet richmondsnow $20 we'd get less than 4". And unbelievably he actually took the bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMU2004 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Doubt these are the last flakes of the season. you know more than I ever will, for sure. Just can't kick the feeling that Feb won't be good for us. When was the last major RIC snow in Feb? I remember a decent snow in the 1st week of Feb last year....

MidlothianWX Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 you know more than I ever will, for sure. Just can't kick the feeling that Feb won't be good for us. When was the last major RIC snow in Feb? I remember a decent snow in the 1st week of Feb last year.... Here is what I have recorded for February of last year: 2/5-2/6/2010: Began early in the morning as snow, eventually changing over to sleet. Sleet eventually gave way to rain, which lasted through the very early morning hours. Snow restarted in the morning and lasted through the early evening (this portion of the storm was much colder and featured high winds). Storm total was 7.6" 2/10/2010: Surprise band of snow dumped around 3.0" in just a few hours. Whiteout and blizzard-like conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back end of that storm did very well if I recall correctly. That certainly qualifies as a decent snow, so I stand corrected. I want a MAJOR Feb snow!

RIC Airport Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Officially 0.7" at the airport from yesterday's snowfall. This brings Richmond's 2010-11 seasonal total to 10.7". In addition, a record 1.38" of rainfall fell which broke the previous record of 1.28" set in 1966. The amount in 1966 was actually all frozen from a snowstorm that dumped 14.8" of snow at Richmond.

The last major February snowfall, say 10" or more, was from the February 10-11, 1983 blizzard which dumped 17.7" at the airport. A few years earlier, we had 11" from the PD I snowstorm.

RIC Airport Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 So is this thread for Hampton Roads too now since the other one is locked? I thought we were starting new topic at 50 pages You can create a separate thread just for HR. I see absolutely no reason that RIC and HR are required to be together.

RIC Airport Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Through yesterday RIC's January monthly average temperature was 34.0°F, which is 2.3 degrees below the 30 year average. With the temperatures over the next several days primarly staying slightly below normal, the month will likely finished below average. It will be interesting to see weather or not this winter ends colder than last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanVA Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I wonder how many years at the airport the seasonal total has reached 10" but not a single one day total over 4". I would think very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think very few. I'm assuming you meant to say "single event", no? If you recall, the December 25-26th total for the event was 4.3". I will have to check into that. i'm compiling a list of all events 0.1" + for Richmond, but I haven't had near as much time to finish as I'd like.

I do, however, have the storms 6" or more back to 1897....I'll post them next time I'm on my other PC. BTW, here is the 2010 Weather Summary from Wakefield.

snowmiser Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 So next weeks "storm" seems to be a do-over of yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanVA Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 So next weeks "storm" seems to be a do-over of yesterday. If this is really is what the models end up locking onto, it will trend a little north and a good ways east so probably a decent amount more than yesterday.
