weathervswife Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Ended up with about .15" ice on most surfaces. Almost looks like winter this morning. Nothing on the roads, however. Glad AKQ decided to jump in with the winter wx advisory early this morning after the snow, sleet and freezing rain were about done. Wait, here I go again.

Midlo Snow Maker Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 surprisingly Jan was not a top 10 warmest month at 42.6 which was +4.7 10th place is 45.0 this is the worst winter ever so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Druff Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 this is the worst winter ever so far No doubt. I'm pretty sure this is the first year I have lived in Virginia that I turned the air conditioner on on my birthday. What a vomit inducing winter...

SeanVA Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 surprisingly Jan was not a top 10 warmest month at 42.6 which was +4.7 10th place is 45.0 this is the worst winter ever so far I was about to say something to contradict that, but I couldn't think of anything to say. At least 07-08 had some cold towards the end. I would have never guessed that I would be saying 07-08 was better than a winter ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 07-08 had some cold towards the end. I would have never guessed that I would be saying 07-08 was better than a winter ever I moved to Richmond in April of '05. The winter of 07-08 and the start of 08-09 convinced me that snow around here was the mythical unicorn with very few exceptions. March '09 to February '10 sucked me back in and made me care. I ****ing hate it. Only positive is that my fall crops have gone f'ing gang busters this winter. I've got so much broccoli, I'm not sure what to do with it. I didn't even have to pull the carrots this year, just let them store in the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Same old story. Par for the course. Models have major disagreement, southern stream will be crushed, phasing is off by a hair, we need to thread the needle, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Don't look now but the 0z GFS gives us snow from approimately hr 48 - 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 AFD... SAT...EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM HAS GENLY REMAINED SIMILAR OVER THE PAST FEW MODEL RUNS...STILL TOO PROGRESSIVE FOR PHASING OF THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAM MID/UPR LEVEL FLOW. THE SFC LOW AND MAIN PRECIP SHIELD SHOULD ALREADY BE EXITING THE AREA BY DAYBREAK SAT...ALTHOUGH SOME SPOTTY -RA/DZ AND CLOUDS WILL LINGER. AS PREVIOUS SHIFTS NOTED...LOOKS LIKE A LULL FOR MID MORNING THROUGH EARLY-MID AFTN AHEAD OF TH APPROACHING NRN STREAM SHORTWAVE AND HAVE KEPT POPS AT OR BELOW 20%. STILL A LOT OF MSTR FOR MORE CLOUDS THAN SUN ALTHOUGH SOME BREAKS WILL BE POSSIBLE SRN 1/2. TEMPS LOOK TO WARM INTO THE MID-UPR 40S N...LWR 50S FAR S. WITH SUBTLE DIFFERENCES...NAM/GFS AND ECMWF FOR THAT MATTER...SHOW STRONG DESTABILIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE BETWEEN 21Z-03Z. DEEPEST FORCING LOOKS ALIGNED FROM CAROLINE COUNTY ESE THROUGH THE VA ERN SHORE DURING THIS PERIOD...AND HAVE BUMPED POPS UP TO LIKELY IN MUCH OF EN VA N OF I-64. COLD AIR ARRIVAL IS ABOUT 3 HRS SLOWER THAN PREV MODELS...SO SNOW LOOKS TO BE DELAYED UNTIL AFTER 21Z IN THE FAR NW AND DORCHESTER MD...AND AFTER ABOUT 23Z/6 PM FROM METRO RICHMOND ON SE...AND AFTER 7 OR 8 PM VA BEACH TO COASTAL NC. LOOKS LIKE A CLASSIC CASE WHERE STRONG DYNAMICS WILL FIGHT W/ DRY LOW LEVELS. GFS IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AND A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE NAM/ECMWF W/ FORCING AND QPF AFTER 00Z (THAT WOULD MAINLY BE SNOW). HAVE BUMPED POPS UP TO HIGH CHANCE OVER MUCH OF THE CWA...BUT WILL CONFINE LIKELY POPS FOR SNOW TO CLIMO FAVORED NRN NECK AND VA ERN SHORE...MAINLY FROM 23Z- 03Z/SUN. W/ STRONG LIFT...COULD SEE A QUICK 1" OF SNOW IN THESE AREAS..BUT SFC TEMPS WILL HAVE BEEN RATHER WARM SO ROADS WILL SEE MINIMAL IMPACTS. ELSEWHERE WILL GO W/ 30-50% CHC SNOW SHOWERS...MAINLY IN THE EARLY EVENING (AS THICKNESSES DROP...SNOW WILL BE MAIN PTYPE ALL THE WAY TO THE NC COAST). WILL MENTION POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT SNOW ACCUMS IN HWO FOR NOW FOR ALL ZONES. TRENDS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY BY LATER SHIFTS...IF THE SLIGHTLY MORE AMPLIFIED GFS VERIFIES...SNOW AMOUNTS AND CHANCES WILL NEED TO BE INCREASED...ALTHOUGH EVEN A WORST CASE SCENARIO WOULD ONLY BE LOCALLY 1-2" (AN ADVISORY) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeeng92 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Maybe we get another surprise "blizzard" squall like last year??? 1-2 inches would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Maybe we get another surprise "blizzard" squall like last year??? 1-2 inches would be awesome I highly doubt it is anything like 2010, but perhaps you are referring to that little event we had in January of last year (it came after darkness IIRC). I'd say an inch maximum, but we shall see. These trailing upper level disturbances are very hard to forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 -8F in 1979 on this day. The 4th coldest temperature recorded at RIC. Not sure if we'll ever be close to that again...haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say an inch maximum, but we shall see. These trailing upper level disturbances are very hard to forecast. January 26th (I only remember because it was on my birthday.) ULL went through us right around the PM rush. Made for an interesting drive down 288. There was another event last year on a weekend (no idea what day) where a band set up along the US 360 corridor and dumped a quick 2-3 inches in a <10 mile wide swath through Chesterfield and Richmond. I also remember an arctic cold front blowing through after one of the Feb 2010 snowmaggedon/snowpocalypse storms that brought in heavy snow and 50 mph winds for an hour or so.

Actually, I took a quick look through my storm notes and discovered that the event to which I was referring was on January 7-8, which dumped 3 inches in a few hours. That is the one you mentioned about the weekend. The one on January 26th gave me around an inch. The other event was on February 10th 2010 - I posted a picture and discription in the main thread about that storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
