SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Looks like you guys near Richmond are just getting dumped on, low not moving much! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Threat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 First post here. Been lurking for yrs. What a surprise! I appreciate all of the updates and pics! Live in S. Chesterfield but work in Hopewell. Not much happening here today except for high winds. Had a short "blizzard" event about 15 minutes ago. Hardest I've seen it snow in years. Hope these bands keep coming through. Would be nice to see this continue til / through sundown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodie77 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Odd look to the radar now. Almost looks like the low is backing west with the precip as opposed to east earlier, setting us up for a final blow later in the afternoon when the low moves offshore.

Inudaw Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The ratio's are absolutely horrid. Probably the slushiest wet snow I've ever seen. Probably had a good 0.5 inches of moisture or so.. and have about a 1/2 to show for it. ^^;; Melting.. etc.. not helping matters. Lulls in action almost kill what snow does accumulate. ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think that jog is what the Euro kept showing I just think some folks threw it out because it was supposed to be the GFS and NAM to hit this one.

Snow Threat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Outstanding pic! The guys in the DC / NoVa thread got kicked in the nvts. While I love our nice surprise, we in RVA understand how bad it hurts to have huge snows forecasted then pulled out from under us. I kinda feel for them......and kinda not. 2013-03-06_14-42-17_926.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeSuck Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 For Hampton Roads, I think we are going to get what is hammering the upper Eastern Shore atm. It is beginning to turn more southerly now as the Low begins moving SE. If it holds together we may have a fun night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im using this as a guage ---> http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=CHYV2 Temp is already 37.0 on the water.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Probably going to go with 4 or 4.25" here. What a fun storm. Had an awesome time tracking it with all of you. Will definitely be a benchmark as far as "upward busts" go for years to come.

Im using this as a guage ---> http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=CHYV2 Temp is already 37.0 on the water.. We are going to go from west winds to north winds to Northwest winds as the system moves slowly SE. Compare these two radar loops. You can see the main part over the Northern Eastern Shore should be moving our way in a few hours. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=AKQ&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes and http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=dox&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geothermal Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yes it was a fun event, Even with the moderate snow showers continuing the yardstick I put on top of the snow hours ago hasn't gotten covered over. I will say 6 in here, season total of just under 12 in for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Threat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 yeh.....the pic thread has been rather quiet since you posted yours.

nflwxman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 this may sound petty, but I am stoked with the DC screw job after their behavior this week. Karma is a B I think the big take away here is- don't ignore the euro when it's locked in. The GFS and NAM had some magic runs for BWI and DCA that reeled people in prematurely. I think the euro was showing a CHO-Staunton-Harrisonburg bullseye pretty much since Sunday. The euro may have only shown 4-8 at most for DCA on the best run.
