Got old pics and videos saved on my phone. The only one I have on my phone right now are videos of December 9, 2018. Close to a foot of snow where I lived at the time in Glen Allen. We weren't forecasted to get half of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnow215 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Couple hours ago or whenever it was I said I thought we would dry slot before we would turn to any sleet. Here we are in Chesterfield where I live at that point. 4 inches of snow and then nothing is amazing to start!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all you are the unofficial leader of this thread lol and the work you do with the posting of the maps is first class and thank you! I really didn't buy into especially the nam under selling the front end thump that we got. It'll be real interesting to see what happens tomorrow afternoon and evening. It actually exceeded my expectations the first go round here 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is my last winter here, couldn't have asked for a better ending, if this all pans out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Probably a good time to sleep! Looks like a decent break between now & around 6am in this area.. guessing it’s around 3 inches here in my part of Glen Allen but I could be wrong … I could see about the same added later today . (If we get lucky) kinda right on that line here ..(could get nothing) so will see.. This weekend looks to be interesting too, but not ready to talk about that yet until this one is over… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Unfortunately it’s just rain @ freezing rain here in my part of Glen Allen near short pump… I don’t expect it to turn over again until later this afternoon… this is going to cause major icing issues when this all freezes over later tonight especially on back roads and side streets… prob will be power issues in spots but hard to say how major that will be depending on where the temperatures stay around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 There will be a 6-8 hour window where temps may rise above freezing. There may also be a lull in precip before temps drop and we get the back end snows this evening (1-2"). Hoping for 2 to make this a 6" storm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Yeah, thankfully that break between noon to around 6pm will be a key time to get allot of places plowed & to avoid major icing issues on most of the main roads & other side roads … Whatever doesn't and has snow fall on top will be pretty treacherous once it all freezes over again… Would be nice if we can get another 1-3 inches especially since some is being washed away now… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjammin Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I'm really happy for the Richmond folks doing well in this storm. I lived in that area for ten years and it killed me in 2010 when the DC area got obliterated with snow. I lived 40+ years in Arlington. Now living in the Lynchburg area for 8.5 years it really hasn't been better than Richmond. The snow game is a cruel mistress in the mid-Atlantic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldub23 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 They closed the schools here for wet roads. What a joke. Im sure nearer RIC there is ice on roads. None here at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None here at all Icy roads here in western Henrico. Slipped getting my work computer out of the car. Not sure what it’s like in the city. Expecting another 1-2 inches later on top of this will cause issues tomorrow morning due to the much colder air tonight. Heard a few transformers pop.
