D-Money Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Snow finally sticking where I live in VB. Looks like a little streamer action off the bay. Nickels and dimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCoWx Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 It was 60 degrees yesterday so the lower level temps are going to be warm along with the ground temp. It snowed but it didn't really stick. We heard you the first several times, Coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJnVa Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 It was 60 degrees yesterday so the lower level temps are going to be warm along with the ground temp. It snowed but it didn't really stick. Yes. I know. That's my point. That should have been expected all along. Expecting a lot more accumulation wasn't really in the cards. But it did snow for 5 hours, so that was pretty cool. But getting upset at what we got when we all know going in what it's like is tilting at windmills.

Coach McGuirk Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We heard you the first several times, Coach. I just love it when I'm right. I measured .3 inches on my car top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I just love it when I'm right. I measured .3 inches on my car top. Jeez give it a rest already. Nobody cares. Its fun to track these things even when they bust. We got around an inch in various places on the southside before it melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach McGuirk Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Decent shot at some snow tomorrow morning before it all turns to rain by noon or so. Currently 35/21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeSuck Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 In Great Falls, VA. Snowing lightly atm. Nice to see some real snow fall after our debacle back home last week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Got a good couple minutes of sleet in the morning and that was it. I'm headed out to Snow Shoe to go snowboarding for the first time in late February or early March. Which ever looks better for conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeVa Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 12z GFS is around 200 miles away from some snow this weekend. The trend is our friend with this one. Or so it seems thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABILLUPS1 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 2/27 0z Euro goes crazy with monster storm sitting right over SE Virginia by day 8. Huge snows for northern/western VA. Storm then moves due east with probably a changeover for central/eastern VA to snow before ending by day 9. Euro has been coming up with some extreme solutions for the 3/6-3/7 time frame. Will be interesting to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeVa Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Wow, the 12z euro is godly. Basically an ideal track for our area. Too bad this is 8 days out. The Euro loves to throw us these bones in the LR and just toy with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABILLUPS1 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well, I'll say this. The Euro isn't sure exactly the details yet but it's going for a big east coast low next Wed-Thu. time frame for sure. On the 12z 2-28 run it pretty much stalls and bombs a low not far off the carolina coast day 6-7. The set-up would have been ideal for SE VA about 2-3 weeks ago but it may be too late now. Cold air is in place but looks marginal with 850's just below 0. Some place like Richmond or maybe south-central VA could get a pretty good hit out of it, though.

Not to beat a dead horse but come on. A storm like the euro shows would easily overcome any BL issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeVa Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Track looks decent on the Euro. Since the storm will not turn up the coast, we could easily get screwed on the northern fringe. This is not bad for a week out. At least there is potential for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crainjd Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 As much as I would like this to happen....it is classic DT to actually say it 6 days out... Wxrisk.com this event LOOKS kind of like HISTORIC MARCH 1-3 1980 severe snowstorm for eastern VA and NC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABILLUPS1 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 March mayhem on the 12z GFS. Takes the low due east across NC then off Hatteras, then NE to just off Ocean City MD then backs the system S/SE to maybe 200-250 miles off Va Beach as a blocking High builds in the Canadian maritimes. For SE VA looks like rain then some wraparound light snow then maybe back to rain as the system backs in toward us from the northeast. Pretty similar to the 0z Euro actually. This is going to be a crazy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeSuck Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Regardless of rain or snow.... IF this thing fully phases and stalls off our coast for the duration the 12z GFS shows....This could be one hell of a Nor'Easter for Hampton Roads Especially Norfolk and Portsmouth for tidal flooding as the winds would generally be coming out of the north driving the bay into them. Going to be fun to watch! Winter time Tropical storm baby! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeVa Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Lost most of my pier and almost lost my jet ski back in the '09 November Nor'easter. Not looking forward to another sustained Nor'easter, at all. Good thing is we are so far out, things can change drastically. I mean, yesterday it looked like were going to be on the northern fringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you on that. Verbatim, this would be a beast. The way it stalls and backs into the coast before heading out. WOW! 5 days to go. Maybe we will be back in snow by then. I would hate to have to decide on going to see 12"+ in DC or staying here for Beast Mode Nor'Easter...hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
