snowfan Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Correct and I don't remember exactly who (maybe matt??) but someone on this board chased that storm and posted pics. There was a storm last February (?)...it was during one of the few brief cold shots...stayed surpressed and hit CHO and EZF pretty hard if I recall (WSW criteria). I think flurries made it to a DC-Annapolis line and that was about it. Someone else mentioned it earlier in this thread. Got some parts of central VA up to near climo snowfall for last winter.

Yep, and that storm missed Richmond. We've been missed every which way you can count. Deform band set up shop about 20 miles north of downtown, maybe 15 miles north of me... I got about 1.5-2" out of it, so it wasn't a total bust for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yep, and that storm missed Richmond. We've been missed every which way you can count. It wasn't a complete miss...... it was a very wet snow at 32-33 degrees, but the airport did record 4.0"....but a lot of it settled almost instantly, lol.

Kmlwx Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 WSW includes Howard County. Seems a little bullish, no? As has been stated - it is always possible for the storm to edge a bit farther north. It is also possible that the gradient won't be so tight as the models are showing. PLUS, it is only a WATCH - they can downgrade to an advisory if they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I might be crazy, but I really am not worried about that sharp cutoff around DC. I feel very confident we'll be getting reports of heavy snow from Leesburg and Manchester, as usual. A band will park over those areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
