Maestrobjwa Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Kinda funny how, despite that low-level snow events, they have come a just the right time (combined with the extreme cold) to disrupt the commutes...If you were to look at how many snow days/delays have been used, you'd think we'd have 10-15" inches on the season by now, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL its not hard to visually see the difference between a half inch and an inch and a half, without measuring. There were lots of precip holes with other nearby places under good bands. I noticed that over here too. It was generally really ragged and inconsistent in our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcwahoo Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Despite all day mood flakes maybe 1-2 inches max across the Richmond metro. We are south and east but not THAT far south and east, so we too are missing out on the bigger ticket items this season. Looks like a very solid snowfall in southside Virginia, and perhaps now into Tidewater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not as much at Summit Point.... I did have a trace but not enough to consider a dusting. Seemed like most bands stayed just to my west.
