RIC Airport Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 3 hours ago, SoCoWx said: My question is, when will we finally have a pure snowstorm again? Especially after the ice being responsible for this water fiasco in Richmond. We certainly don’t need more ice. Still wondering the same, maybe better luck Friday night into Saturday for a 3-6" event and no ice or slop in between. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like every so many years, there’s a monster storm, and it very narrowly only clobbers Hampton Roads and no one else. Don’t get me wrong, of course. Good for them! They get snow even less than we do! 1/29/2022, 1/22/2022, 2/20/2020, 2//26/2015, 1/7/2017, 2/26/2015, 1/29/2014, etc. Plenty of examples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’d take this in a heartbeat over anything with more ice. Richmond *STILL* doesn’t have water in most neighborhoods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have access to water or some friends who are not affected and can provide you a place to shower or something. I'm sure they are working around the clock to resolve the situation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVAman Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Expecting either a 2-4 event or a 4-6 event for this weekend. It could bomb as well. THIS is a setup we want, for us here in Central VA and yall down in the south east. Too bad it’s on a Friday into Saturday and not Sunday into Monday again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAman Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Also, this is a good sign for the rest of winter. It’s the first week of January and we received a 6” storm. That’s the first time in a long long while around these parts. We could end up being well above average by the end of March. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got right at 4” from this past storm here in Varina. Wouldn’t mind another 4” to get me near climo, this early in the season. I think right now, we’re in a good spot for this next event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC got 6 total from the storm. Actually surprised it melted as much as it did today. It never “felt” like 6 inches were on the ground at one time.

Not the first time this has happened. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krasnyoktyabr Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I'd much rather be on the north side of a storm for once. It's not sexy, but give me 3" with no mixing issues and I'm happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
