RIC Airport Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 4 hours ago, eaglesin2011 said: How many times have we had snow in Richmond (say over 6 inches) and less then an inch in DC? I would assume it has not happened much.. anybody know? Doesn't happen too often, but it does from time to time. Most recently was January 7, 2017 when RIC received 7.1" and DCA only 0.4". Also, January 2-3, 2002 where RIC received 7.7" and DCA didn't record ANY snow from that storm. If RIC gets a large total, just due to DC's proximity, it's hard for them to stay under an inch. The better question would be, how often does RIC surpass DCA's totals from the same storms? And that has happened lots of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveVa Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Looks like it's all done here in Norfolk near ODU campus. We had a moderate burst of snow around 12:30 that lasted for about 15-20 minutes before precip tapered off. We got a slushy coating on grassy surfaces, but it's long gone now as temp never fell below 33. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to know that just because it really confirms that its hard for us to get a decent snow without DCA getting into the game with at least over an inch.. Thanks for the info....

JB Fins Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I don't want to lose anything but it's nice when we and DC are in the game as they have great mets and hobbyists posting in the main thread (BobChill, psu, etc) but when they are on the outside looking in, the misery overtakes, and I completely understand it as it is usually us. Hope for a small enough shift to get them in the game but still have us jackpot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah man, there's gonna be at least a dozen storms this year where they are complaining about "only" getting 6" of snow while we are looking at a nice cold rain. Let them suffer! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So without me looking at a map the trend has been a bit more NW of Richmond Proper right?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hanging on by a thread right now on most of the models for the RIC area... could really still bust both ways. Def don't want more south adjustments on most... (prob really wont have a real good consensus for storm totals until Friday Afternoon.. until then stay close to the coffee, booze & tanning oil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 The preliminary CLI shows a Trace of snow at Richmond today. Meanwhile, 0.1" was recorded at ORF. I'm actually shocked there wasn't a similar amount at RIC, maybe it'll be reflected in the final report sent around 1:30am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that AKQ may not get the numbers from the observers until after CLI is sent. I would hope that after all these years of bickering about the numbers, AKQ has addressed the issue. Hopefully, KRIC at least had the snowboard out today, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramadoc Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Old man in what looked like a grayish white bathrobe was walking down my street earlier. Had this huge cane. Thing was a tall as he was. He had this killer hipster beard along with sandals. I’ve never seen him before, but all the animals in the neighborhood were following him. Weird.

ldub23 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I cant imagine much if anything for se va, including richmond. It seems we will be on the northern extent of the precip and i doubt it will precip hard enough to be snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From watching everything play out the last few days, and how the models showed an expanding storm today, I think RVA does pretty well with this storm. I’m calling for 3-6”, with possible pockets to 8”. Highest amounts SW areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Good luck down in RVA...hoping you all can see at least a few inches of snow, if not more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=atlpac-wide&product=wv-mid very good view of the action getting going here... Hopefully that dry air dropping down is out before we get the main storm coming in.... I still think we can get lucky and pull off a 3-6 storm for most of the RIC area... PROB most in a quick burst overnight Sunday... Bust potential still there of course for a sleet /mix fest .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcwahoo Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Man I hope we can get something here too eagles2011. Last night's models were not comforting, but goodness knows we've watched areas to our north win in these kinds of setups time and time again! Would be nice to be the "northern" overachievers for once! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcwahoo Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Well verbatim the latest NAM has around 7 inches in RIC. Sharp cutoff with about 3 inches in Ashland and then nothing north of Hanover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
