Terpeast Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Excerpt from recent AFD from Charleston: AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV 1041 AM EDT MON OCT 29 2012 .SYNOPSIS... REMAINS OF SANDY COMBINES WITH A STRONG MID AND UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY WITH STRONG WINDS...RAIN...AND HEAVY WET SNOW. HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION LATE TODAY INTO TUESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AS OF YET. CURRENT THINKING IS TO TREND THE FORECAST TOWARDS THE NAM MODEL...BASED ON THE FACT THAT ITS CURRENT TREND IS TO TRACK THE LOW/SANDY FURTHER TO THE NORTH...WHICH IS MORE IN LINE WITH NHC FORECAST AND MORE IN LINE WITH THE CURRENT OBSERVED TREND/TRACK OF THE STORM. THIS SOLUTION WOULD RESULT IN COOLER TEMPERATURES...PARTICULARLY ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES WHERE MODELS HAVE BEEN ADVERTISING WARMER TEMPERATURES DUE TO WAA. BASED ON THIS TRACK...LOCATIONS SUCH AS AT EKN MAY RECEIVE MORE SNOWFALL THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST...ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT AND TUESDAY AS NAM MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE DEEP SATURATION ALONG WITH ENTIRE SOUNDING BELOW FREEZING. WILL BE LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF INCREASING SNOWFALL TOTALS AT A FEW LOCATIONS SUCH AS AT EKN FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if you picked up 3 feet of snow (measuring the official way), but may not see more than a foot and a half on the ground due to compaction.

Heavy/wet snow - visibility around one quarter mile - perhaps a little further. Winds are not too bad just yet - starting to increase a little bit.

clskinsfan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Some snow down just west of Harrisonburg like I thought would happen. Gonna make my chase early tomorrow morning. Here's the traffic cams if anyone wants them. Check out the cam west of harrisonburg on Route 250 near 640 http://www.511virginia.org/ Closest snow I have found is on 55 west just at the WV border. Only 15 miles west of Winchester and only at 1500 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees coming down across the roads is a concern. Will take a chainsaw just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
