Inudaw Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This rain/snow line field is so rare. Driving the rain/snow line into the city of Baltimore.. yet Pin wheeling it back east of Richmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Amazing difference in accumulation between the backyard by the reservoir and up the driveway away from the water in Midlothian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Fins Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 NWS upped my area to 5-9" by click forecast but still no WSW. Is there just a time where it makes no sense to upgrade it. Plus, it may answer my question about splitting the counties for winter events, east end of Henrico versus west end, same for Chesterfield.

Inudaw Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Far north western Goochland 10 to 12" based on models.. would probably expand it to a more general 8 to 12 for that area. The South Eastern portion of the county closer to richmond. 5 to 8 inches? Favoring around 6..... Where I live just south east of the airport. 2" max. O-o; ... This... might work out???/ Maybe not exactly, but what? O_o; After an hour.. still only covered the ground. Lots of melting underneath. Rates need to stay high or it melts.

Portsmouth Weather Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Huge congrats to you guys to my north. Im actually feeling very confident we SEE something down here in SEVA. Latest HRRR is awesome! Temp 38 Dew 35 currently chesapeake/vb line. Yes, the trends on the RAP and HRWW are quite encouraging for at least getting a coating down here.

Very interesting suggestion for splitting the county for warning. Especially in early and late season marginal events like this where elevation plays a huge role in amounts.

WhiteoutWX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Wind is really picking up. Insane rates right now. Can barely see the end of my street here in the west end. Even heavier now cannot see more than 10 houses down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMU2004 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The local Mets aren't looking at the HRRR and are following their in house model. They think this ends by about 4pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Definitely in a lull here. Really need the HRRR to be right if I want to see any more accumulations. Currently sitting at 4" on the nose. Winds are gusting pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geothermal Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Rates still high keeping up with compaction. Can really see the effect of March sun angle on my solar array almost self cleaning tilted at 37 degrees. Never thought this would happen amazingly potent system.

Fodie77 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Based on the HRRR, when should we expect to see a pickup in the action? Don't get me wrong, my expectations have been thoroughly exceeded already but I'll always take more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteoutWX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Well the radar went to crap in a hurry there lol. I think that may be it for the heavy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR sort of hinted at this lull and had the yellows blowing up a little + swinging down around 1-2 pm. Not sure if it's right but it would be a nice finale. RAP still gives the area an extra 0.5" of qpf before everything shuts off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
