JB Fins Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have wet snow mixing in Glen Allen, I295 and RT 33 10:05AM -- Back to all rain. Best guessitmate was a 90 to 10 ratio rain to snow for just a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Fins Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yes, very short lived. Had to check close but had a flake or two hit the window and melt. Looks like there was a quick pink pocket on the radar that swept through Hanover and maybe that is what I saw. I guess I would rather not have snow given our locales winter history when we receive snow early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The NWS server is down but just from glancing at WXUnderground it looks like RIC had a max gust of 40mph. Kind of lame around here but it doesn't hurt that my classes were cancelled today. I did see one pice of trash blowing down my street last night.

Kevin Druff Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I seem to consistently be about 1* cooler than you. Wonder if I need to check my thermometer. What did you get down to this morning? We got quite cold this morning: 29.5* but I don't see much, if any, frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Druff Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Snow on 0z Euro is getting pretty close to RIC metro proper, and later frames actually have a few flakes in the metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Obviously cold and dry sums up November. Not a top 10 coldest November by any means, but this will go down as the coldest November since 2000. And with only .27" of rain, it ends as the 4th driest November on record Richmond's 10 Driest Novembers (since 1887) 1. 0.11" (1890) 2. 0.17" (2001) 3. 0.24" (1931) 4. 0.27" (2012) 5. 0.36" (1965) 6. 0.44" (1917) 7. 0.51" (1905) 8. 0.62" (1909) 9. 0.63" (1915) 10. 0.66" (1941) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Anthony, can you summarize the winters following? I'll go through the data sometime tomorrow while I'm at work, but I can tell you that half of those following winter seasons were ENSO neutral. Only two decent snow seasons (1917-18 33.7" La Nina, 1965-66 29.4" El Nino). The rest were solidly below average with the exception of 1905-06, an El Nino season, with 15.4". Since snowfall recordings for Richmond did not begin until 1897, I do not have data for 1890-91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It' s a dust bowl around here, 75 today after an awesome cool November just blows. Zone forecast looks cool for Thursday/Friday but then cranks up the warmth again through the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
