The Ole Bucket Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah I'm expecting to get some sleep in right after the kids go to bed and get up at 2-3 to take a crack at some shoveling. Want to keep the walkway as clear as possible so two overnight shifts at that and then whatever happens during the day on Thursday happens..

WVclimo Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Interesting that LWX grouped the I-81 counties in the same WSW as Montgomery, Howard and Southern Baltimore counties. Don't see that too often. Also don't see the mix happening here that they mention in the warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeSuck Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 My observation is the ABC store has so many choices... which one do I choose? I am probably getting a litre of crown. That should get me through this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I highly recommend stay up until or setting an alarm for the 1-3am period This is 1am sim from the nam 1amrakage.JPG Booze, curling, and a snowstorm. I sure hope the Russian women are on tonight. That'll keep the house warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC_WX Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 my parents texted me to report onset of heavy snow in Midlothian...this seems to correlate with radar returns showing precip crossing 37.5N in VA now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller.b.time Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Flakes flying in Gordonsville per VDOT cameras. Should be only a matter of time before CHO starts. EDIT: Just saw CHO-flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelScott Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 That's a radar blip-- it's snowing down there. We will dry slot after midnight. But, I image we have over 10 by then. I'm thinking we'll dry slot sometime in the early morning. Most of the short-range models support that. If we get lucky with the ULL band then we could pick up a couple more late tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, snowing well here approaching an inch. My street is a parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could do better then a couple tomorrow. The euro and RGEM have a MEGA band. Think March 1, 09 type band. I think 2-8 inches extra is possible. 4 inches already in Danville.
