D-Money Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Haven't seen amounts that high and measuring is really difficult with this wind. I think the higher amounts we have seen reported might be in places where snow has drifted a bitafter this band finishes. I'll get some pics. Sorry if I implied we had 5 inches now. Which we don't. Maybe for the grand total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBsurf Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Never posted pics before so not sure how they will turn out.. Keep in mind this is before the last band pulls through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeVa Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 1.5" on the table. Kind of surprised at the low total, we were ripping heavy snow for a few hours with high winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlo Snow Maker Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ended up with 2.3" low of 12 this am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMU2004 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 perhaps 1.5-1.75. Too much wind on the hill where I live to get an accurate total. RIC will cash in one of these days....at least, I keep telling myself that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCoWx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I had gone to sleep around 9 PM, due to battling the stomach flu and still not feeling too hot. There was barely a dusting at the time. I woke up around 2 AM and everything was wrapped up under a solid 2 inches with the snow still coming down! Winds were howling, and you could barely see across the road. For the final tally, I'd say we got roughly three inches west of Franklin. With the wind blowing it all around so much, there are probably higher amounts in spots. All in all, a great mini-blizzard! It sure is beautiful out today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABILLUPS1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 You va beach outer banks guys are gonna love day 7 on the euro 4-8"nc va border at the beach all the way back to hatteras So I noticed. Couldn't tell the details but I knew it looked like a E NC/SE VA exclusive. GFS has something too in that time frame but stays offshore which is probably where you want the GFS to be at this point. Another system to keep an eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABILLUPS1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What's going on with Saturday? Clipper starting to look a little bit interesting on the 12z Euro and Canadian with a quick band of snow maybe making it across the mts. from Northern NC north. Jan 28-29 OTS now on the 12z Euro.

MidlothianWX Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Looks like the airport did well with this event. The PNS shows a measurement of 3" as of 3:00 AM. That would definitely be a big win after 0.6" was reported around 9:00 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach McGuirk Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 All of the Hampton Roads reported 4 inches. It was pretty hard to measuring as it was all blowing powder. It's currently 15 degrees outside and the GFS has temps well below average for at least a week coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Fins Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Over me too. I am kicking myself though, when I came home last night and pulling out again this morning, realized I could have used my Stihl gas powered blower to clear the driveways and sidewalk. I might have packed it down too much now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABILLUPS1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 12z GFS brings back the 1/28-29 event for OBX, extreme E NC, SE VA. Only .10-.25 in extreme SE VA but with 850s < -10 ratios would be 20:1 or more. The outer banks gets slammed, especially Hatteras. Given the GFS S/E bias, if this thing trends NW some could be a huge hit for all of coastal NC/VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS loves to squash storms OTS, so we'll just have to see. Probably end up being an Apps runner...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all models either out to sea or a coastal skimmer; the chances of the app runner is negligible. Coastal sections look like the have a shot at some snow out of this... how far west outside the immediate beaches is this next question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABILLUPS1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah, that 12z Euro is a beauty. Just a straight-ahead, old-fashioned lower mid-atlantic crusher. Euro and GFS just where you want them to be 6 days out. Time to live and die with the model runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABILLUPS1 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Wow 0z Canadian with a historic snowstorm not due to amounts as much as where it snows. The entire Texas gulf coast clear down to Brownsville sees snow/ice. All of southern LA including New Orleans, Biloxi, Ms., Mobile, Al, the entire panhandle of Florida and close to if not into Jacksonville, Fl. sees ice/snow Then the storm makes the turn and comes up the southeast coast through most of GA including Savannah. All but extreme NW SC sees snow and all but western NC as well as VA from Richmond south and east then grazing the Delmarva peninsula before going out to sea. Seems like a similar set-up to 12/26/04 but colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes the12/26/04 zero-hype storm for us on the esva. 24 hours out the forecast was for flurries, 12 hours out it was for T-1, we ended up with 16 inches IMBY and a dusting around the Md line with that tight gradient. Heaviest rates I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABILLUPS1 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 12z GFS much further west with mid-week system but still only gets the precip to the OBX basically. It's getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
