cyclogenesis Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 My pictures I took between 7 PM and 815 PM, of the snow fall event here in East Richmond, VA. In East Richmond, VA: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclogenesis Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 February 20, 2020 In the end, my final snowfall total in East Richmond, taken at 815 PM came out to be 0.6" of snow. East Richmond measured snowfall -->> 0.6" (6/10") final snowfall, (a little over 1/2"). -- cyclogenesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajastrums Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 A mere dusting near Mary Munford Elementary in Richmond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclogenesis Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 That's a pretty tight, steep gradient in snowfall totals spanning from West End, Richmond, to East end, Richmond where I'm at, to the South side in Chester. This wasn't a one-size fits all forecast, for the Greater Richmond Metropolitan Area, but I'm glad to see that much of the populous in Richmond did get to see some snow, and at least a dusting, and more than a dusting ( ~ 1/2"), where I'm at, in East Richmond, and one poster had mentioned about 3" in Chester on the South side. It lasted about 3 hours in East Richmond, between 5 PM and 8 PM. It appears North & Northwest Richmond got the short end of the stick on this go-around, with the paucity of reports up thataways, and by viewing STP PCPN estimates on radar. -- cyclogenesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Finally have moderate snow Currituck NC, 33. Nothing accumulating. Went from 36 to 33 in about 20 minutes with the wind shift. I've seen a report of four in from Franklin and 2 inches in Suffolk but nothing around 3 inches.... in Norfolk? Good for you. Coastal influence is now starting to take place so hopefully we get a few more bands through the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Officially 0.5" at RIC yesterday, now up to 1.5" for the season. Should no additional snow falls, 2019-20 will go down as a top 10 least snowy season on record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino16 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Did I miss anything between the time I woke up at 6:45, (No strong rain yet from what I can remember) to 7:30ish? It’s been pretty much a rain shower here so far from what I can tell. No thunder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Interestingly, RIC set a new record low this morning bottoming out at 33 degrees. The old record was 34 set in 1953, which is the warmest record low temperature for any date in April. Although we've had several cold nights this month, the airport has not hit freezing. As a result, looks like 2020 will be the year with the earliest last spring freeze on record. The last time it reached 32 or below was back on March 8th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichmondTarHeel Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Just got a burst of hail in Midlothian. Only pea sized, but still a fun little storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Approaching 1.40" of rain officially at RIC. Today's final total will easily set a new daily rainfall record. The previous record for 4/30 was just 0.95" set in 1895. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Sunday morning's record low at RIC is 35 degrees set in 1966. AKQ's current forecast has RIC reaching 36 degrees. It will be interesting to see how low the temperature drops. The most recent Mays with temperatures in the 30s occurred in 2016, 2006 and 2002. The last May with two or more days with lows in the 30s occurred in 1986 and RIC actually hit 32 degrees on one of those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 RIC reached 34°F this morning, which makes it the coldest May temperature since it reached 32°F on May 4, 1986. Below are the coldest May readings in the period of record dating back to 1897. It's interesting to note that most of May's coldest temperatures occurred on the 9th. 34°F May 09, 2020 32°F May 04, 1986 34°F May 09, 1976 32°F May 11, 1966 34°F May 03, 1963 31°F May 09, 1956 32°F May 09, 1947 34°F May 02, 1943 It will be interesting to see how low it gets tonight. The record low is 35°F set in 1966 so there is a very real shot of setting a new record. It will also be interesting to see whether RIC makes it to 32°F. It would be the 2nd latest spring freeze on record. Funny enough, it would prevent RIC from establishing another record since the last time the airport hit freezing was back on March 8th. In 2012, the last spring freeze occurred on March 11th, which is the earliest on record. So, if it does not reach freezing tomorrow morning, 2020 will then feature the earliest beginning to the official growing season. The average date for the last spring freeze in the previous 30 years (1989-2019) was April 1st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Update to the above post, RIC did reach 32°F this morning. Very impressive, this is the 2nd latest spring freeze on record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
