eaglesin2011 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 In a nice little mod/snow band coming through now just when it looked like it was going to turn over. Prob about 15 mins or so then we will be back to the light stuff or possible turn over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Rates obviously make a difference in these marginal temp storms..Basically been snow TV here for awhile now but check this radar out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVASnowLover Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yeah rates make the difference in marginal temps. Another what could've been if we just had a little more cold air. Nice to look at though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVASnowLover Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Looking down the road, Wednesday looks like a rain event. Next Sunday the GFS has a mix/ice storm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcwahoo Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Looking at GFS and does anyone else feel like this is the most “right on the line” stretch we’ve ever seen in the RVA metro? Look we are always a battleground but seems like every storm threat this winter the models paint a cutoff almost right over the city. Kind of infuriating to be honest. Would like to just get one solid snowstorm in here from start to finish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Hopefully we can get some more cold air in faster, definitely could be a nasty ice storm over the weekend... The line normally sets up pretty much like this IMO east to west..To bad it wasnt 2 degrees colder/sooner could of had a nice storm. At least it looks like we will now have snow tv, instead of rain for the rest of this storm . Prob over about 2pm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time for things to change for next Sunday. It would be nice to already have cold air in place and not be on the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVASnowLover Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Still early but ice storm is possible Thursday night into Friday. Haven’t had one of those in a long time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcwahoo Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Feel like next 2 weeks will make or break our winter here. It’s obviously better than last year and we’ve had plenty to track but right now we are sitting at approx 5-6 inches of total snowfall region wide, or about 50% of average. Models a little frustrating as they keep the bulk of the snow to our north over this upcoming period. Need that to change and to get the cold air further into our area. Really hope we can get something good in here over next 14 days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVASnowLover Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 There’s a little trend going on on the euro. Tick south and a little colder each run. Could just be a temporary thing. Well see 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like by looking at 850’s and then surface temps, this thing starts late WEDNESDAY as light ice and then 4-6” of snow by noon Friday. Most of the snow falling overnight Thursday into Friday morning. Again by 12z Euro only I’m talking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want storms to go south just so it can go north. They think every storm is going to go north when it’s south of them. Sometimes that does happen but not always 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we won’t have temp issues with this one. Per the euro, Friday doesn’t get above freezing and Thursday is around 32 most of the day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino16 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Is ice seeming like the more prominent thing with this next one than snow? I kind of get that feeling, but can’t really tell. 12z Euro was on the snowy side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnow215 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 As depicted with the euro at 12 Z it was a half an inch of ice starting very late Wednesday or early Thursday, and ending up as 5 to 10 inches of snow from south east to Northwest in the Richmond metro area. One reason I think it’s possible is because we are so close to the event it’s not like it’s 7-8 days out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
