eaglesin2011 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 "Schools out for summer Schools out for ever" But seriously 30 inches just isn't going to happen....29 inches we may have a shot at but no way where getting to 30....haha❄ Looks like the timeframe for the arival here of the snow is going to be moved up a bit .. Hopefully it will add up quickly B4 any kind of mix or dry air that may move in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inudaw Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Its about time the airport finally breaks the 12" recorded barrier. Still not set in stone, but this one of our best shots we will get for a while! Bring her home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Snow already in Blacksburg VA ..This thing is definitely coming in early be prepared to have it accumulate quick...Looking at the radar I'd say we are going to have to battle with the dry air in this storm more then then mixing in my part of Glen Allen VA but will see if this changes when it transfers over to the coast...

mikeeng92 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I was in NY for the 2010 Boxing Day Blizzard, last time I experienced insane rates with 12+ on the ground. There is nothing like it. Hopefully that mixing line and dry slot stays away. Radar looks great, intense looking band to our south and the mixing line being held at the NC border so far.

rmcwahoo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Couldn't get a more perfect lead in, clear conditions overnight, airport hit 21, clouds roll in at sunrise with precipitation not far behind. That's textbook. Biggest question for me in this storm: Does RIC break the 33 year "1 foot snow" drought? Any thoughts from the board? I'm going positive here: I think, some how, some way, they get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcwahoo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 So NWS still thinks we go to all rain around the city? I can easily see sleet or freezing rain, and I expect that, but rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what model this is, but Mike works works at WSI... A large area of folks in the mid-Atlantic will likely see an abundance of freezing rain.

rmcwahoo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 4K NAM on main discussion board shows a 24 inch accumulation in Powhatan, drives double digit accums well south and east of Richmond and into a lot of NC too. I mention this because the NAM has been the one model looking the warmest here. Nice change to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcwahoo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 RGEM accumulation is why Richmond needs its own board: from 24 inches or so in west end of city/bon air/midlo/short pump....to maybe 8 or 9 inches in the Tri-Cities. This is going to be close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcwahoo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Figured that might be the case. Storms like this always tend to end up sleet-fests around here. Why it's so hard for the airport to get a foot plus accumulation. I'll hope for the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
