Snow Threat Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah really in the screw zone so far here in short pump area..barely a dusting in the last 3 hours haha..prob wont get anythingb till the final batch in c ville makes it down here..owell still a fun storm with the thundersleet and all.. hopefully can add a fresh coat tommrow night.. I heard tomorrow night was trending south. Does it look like we have a shot for anything? I haven't paid much attention to the model. Wouldn't do me much good anyway. I'm still learning and really bad at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Currently at 5.7" total for the event. -SN right now but I'm hoping things will pick up with this final band coming from the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMU2004 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 ULL gave me exactly 1/2 an inch. Thought I was in a good spot for this storm. Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMU2004 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Kinda comical on how the final band is breaking up right b4 it hits our area.. I laughed at that as well. CVille is about 40 miles from my back door...they ended with 16.5, me with 6.25 at most. Quite the cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I never expected to get what c-ville got.. I actualy thought they would get more then they did... Its just crazy how the dry air always seems to find a way into this area .. Would b an interesting case study to see how and why it seems to happen so much.. Im thinking the mountains have something to do with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 5.7" remains my total. Received 0.9" from the ULL alone. Decent storm all around...was fun to track for sure. On to the next event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABILLUPS1 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Richmond is too far south for you guys to be complaining about 4-6 inches of snow. Enjoy what you got, don't worry about what you didn't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect cville totals, but I expected to get b/t 50-75% of their total, as per normal in cases where RIC and cho see snow from miller a storms.

RIC Airport Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The official storm total for Richmond is 5.8". This is the heaviest snowfall since February 5-6, 2010 when the airport recorded 6.6". Season total is now up to 10.9" which also makes this the snowiest winter since 2009-10.

Shadowzone Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Had two white-knuckle drives on I-295 Wednesday and Thursday Here is a picture from Thursday afternoon around 5:00 when the ULL was at it's peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 As we approach the upcoming "warm period" and the latter half of February, I should note that the 20th-29th period has not been historically prime for large events. Since 1897, here are the snowstorms 3.0" or more. There were quite a few events with 2.7-2.9" (most recent 2/26-27, 2003) that barely missed the list. 4.0" February 19-20, 20124.0" February 26-27, 19935.3" February 23-24, 19896.6" February 27-28, 19824.7" February 29-March 1, 19687.3" February 28, 19645.3" February 26, 19635.6" February 26-27, 19525.4" February 24, 19529.3" February 19-20, 19473.6" February 27-28, 19418.0" February 25, 19344.6" February 20, 19143.0" February 24, 19074.2" February 27, 1906 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Will be interesting to see how fast the temps drop tonight ..Really warmed up nicely today and mid 50s now... The system out west looks decent at the moment but I'm sure the mountains will tear it up a bit...Would be nice if we can squeeze out an inch or two somehow . Temps prob won't let that happen..

MidlothianWX Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Might want to keep an eye on the Feb. 24-27 timeframe for central and SE VA folks. Taken verbatim the Euro and GFS show hints of a SE--->HAT track which is good news for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralVaGirl Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Just stopping in to thank you folks for this thread.

Taken verbatim the Euro and GFS show hints of a SE--->HAT track which is good news for all of us. 12z GFS/Canadian look huge for the end of Feb. Devil is in the details but huge high pressing from central Canada and southern stream very active. If we can get this one in SE VA this season will probably end up 2nd only to the all-time season of '79-80 (which, of course, had a full-fledged blizzard Mar 1-3).

VABILLUPS1 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Man, this 12z Canadian is a thing of absolute beauty. Not saying it will verify of course but if you want to see the textbook set-up for a lower mid-atlantic crusher, this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowzone Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sleet and freezing rain contributed to many accidents in #RVA this morning. NWS Wakefield's a.m. forecast discussion and update states: DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY MAJOR IMPACTS FOR THE MORNG COMMUTE." I know there was a heavy burst near the Glenside Drive Exit of I-64, and that seemed to be the centroid of the traffic accidents. Schools opened on time in the area, but our Henrico buses were battling the traffic, and one bus was rear-ended on River Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABILLUPS1 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 12z Euro brings snow/ice again for the lower mid-atlantic/SE Feb. 25-26 with low pressure developing on the arctic front and tracking E/NE across N. Florida while a huge arctic high sets up in the midwest. The GFS/Canadian generally concur. It seems close to a lock now that some sort of storm will develop somewhere on/near the east coast mid-week next week with plenty of cold air around. Will this be '79-80 all over again?

Snow Threat Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 With the way everything has been trending north with these recent storms and model data I'm loving the look of the 12Z euro. Bulls eye is east coast at NC/Va line. Keep this line until the 23rd and begin a slow......slight.....trend north. Hopefully that puts SE and Central VA both in the wheelhouse! Edit: on second look Hatt / OBX looks to be the bulls eye. Definitely would like to see the north trend....BUT...not too early that it goes north and west!

SeVa Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It will be interesting to see if the Euro can hold this solution for days on end like it did with this past event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABILLUPS1 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The big one is out there and somebody on the east coast is probably going to get it. Models have shifted away from Feb. 25-26 (still something there but not big) but the players are still on the field through the 1st week of March. The Euro has locked in on Mar. 1-2 on it's last couple of runs. Today's 12z is a huge snowstorm for the lower mid-atlantic/upper SE and points north. Low pressure tracks from near Jacksonville Florida to off the delmarva by 12z Mar. 2 at > 970mb with fresh arctic air blasting in from central Canada and the upper midwest. The b-word would be used if that verifies. Bottom line is we don't know exactly when or exactly where but it's a good bet someone on the east coast will get a snowstorm in the next 10 days.

If it's that strong, it will be N of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
