RVASnowLover Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 A lot to like about the GEFS but is it right? Don't have much hope for this weekend. Looks like more cold rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like EURO is showing ice storm but I'm sure that will change several times. I'm just over this cold rain we keep getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVASnowLover Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 As of now, looks like more cold rain for the weekend. Another NOVA/DC special. So over this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Fins Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 We had our feast in December and it has been famine ever since. I would be happy with just one more warning criteria snow but time is running short and model inconsistency this winter has ebbed my hopes appropriately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcwahoo Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Yep, looks like nothing but cold rain on the horizon. While areas just north of here do pretty well. Frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like just one more warning criteria snow before time runs out but it's not looking good. Ironic that our biggest snow of the season would have actually came in the fall!

JB Fins Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 True. I am sure we can look back and probably correlate early snow for RIC is a bad sign for winter snow but it's probably so skewed because we have so many famine winters anyway. Fingers crossed but once it's March, I am sort of done and ready for spring. Easter is late this year so I am not going to turn down any snow but it's just not the same. Along the lines of spring, I am actually hoping we have a decent severe weather season as it has been a while since thunderstorms have been consistent in the spring to early summer.

RVASnowLover Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Well the EURO is in our favor for now so I guess there's that. Still not getting excited about it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasnow215 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Heavy wet snow here at my job in Mechanicsville. Big giant flakes, maybe the biggest I’ve ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasnow215 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Expect WWA’s to be posted late tomorrow in RVA, with an outside chance of a WSW (watch) because of poss freezing rain on top of a couple of inches of snow Wed morning. Today’s model runs will help NWS decide. No matter what, Wed morning commute is going to be rough, until the CAD is eventually scoured out of the region, later that afternoon.

eaglesin2011 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 PROB will see a WWA in most of the RIC area... The sooner it moves in the better for the quick snow accumulaton IMO.. Prob mostly another sleet fest incoming until the rain washes it all away.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVASnowLover Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hopefully we can luck out and it will be colder than precidted. The quicker the precip gets in the better. The way this winter has gone though it’s hard to get excited 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 No real surprise here...Only thing I would change is by the evening commute Weds the main roads should be mainly wet from rain not ice.

JB Fins Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Eh, can't argue with them based on model output. Me thinks I got spoiled from the December blockbuster, now anything short of a warning criteria is just "meh" Timing will be tough for schools though, even though you get a switchover to rain, it likely doesn't clear everything up before your 2 hour delay option so I think Henrico and surrounding may have to make a call at 5AM tomorrow as not certain enough to make tonight although parents pressure about the 5AM wakeup from Jenks and blah, blah, blah, not enough time to plan may weigh in.

I doubt schools will open.. unless the snow/ice is delayed or doesnt happen at all..... rush hour in the morning prob will be the worst of the storm 5-8am .. Main roads prob will be fine after that time frame but back roads and neighborhoods prob wont be treated enough... So schools will mostly call it a day if anything icy is still on the roads..

At least its cloudy now.. TEMPS shouldnt be going up much more from here..45.4 F here in Glen Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
