Jebman Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The current rates over eastern Prince Wiiliam Cnty, where I live, is it true that snow tonight will get ever heavier later on? Because if that is true, I can't even begin to imagine it. That would be a Snowgasm+++ Its snowin and blowin like an Antarctic blizzard out there right now. It's getting cold too, 19 degrees.

BTRWx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I used to live out there. Bull Run Mountain and all the precipitation in between causes a shadow over Luray and Harrisonburg during snow events. Always the case and always causes panic. I would say there IS a break around Culpeper, though. That area isn't impacted by the shadow. Thanks to both of you for the respone. Good analysis!
