I’m still 0/0 for falls right now. I’m sure it won’t stay that way though. Ice falls always hurt for like a month and it sucks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to 5 grocery stores in Henrico, all sold out of water. Guess it’s boil time…lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Fins Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Figure I have been drinking it all day and okay, but will switch to bottle and boil. Now, if you are old enough to remember the algae water of 81-82 where they said it was safe to drink but tasted horrible and made everything you made with it taste horrible, that was a tough stretch.

RVAman Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I’m just glad we’re looking at snow being able to fall again here within 5 days of one another. That’s beautiful. Several other options down the line too for 2 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasnow215 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 2 hours ago, RIC Airport said: AKQ going with 2-4" across the metro RIC, 1-3" just north. 1-3" for Hampton Roads once you get S and E of Williamsburg. .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 325 PM EST Wednesday... Key Messages: - Increasing chances for winter precipitation and accumulating snow Friday night into Saturday. Confidence is growing for chances of wintry precip with the next low pressure system late Fri into Sat afternoon. The deep trough that has been over the area this week will move offshore with a low pressure forming near the Gulf Coast. This low will move along the SE coast Fri, and eventually move offshore of the area Sat, taking on a Miller A track. Models have increased confidence in timing, precip types, and amounts during the 12z suites. However, there is still some uncertainty in regards to location of the highest amounts, which will be dependent on the bands of snow north of frontogenesis. The NAM model shows a heavier band of snow over the metro RIC area overnight, while the GFS model depicts a heavier band a few hours after the NAM and more to the NE/Eastern Shore area. With this forecast package, as there is still some uncertainty, have broad-stroked with general amounts of 2-4" across the area. Wherever the heavier bands of snow end up, the snowfall totals are likely to be higher than 4". NE NC/Albemarle Sound will likely have warmer temps as a warm nose tries to push through the coastal area, preventing higher snowfall amounts. Expected totals for this area are around 1". NBM probs have increased for the likelihood of greater than 1" to 60-70% around the metro RVA area. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on your opinion of snow) this event isn`t looking like a pure snow event. The event will likely start off as all snow late Fri night. With the warm nose to the southeast of the region, a period of wintry mix is possible before turning into rain, especially for the southern region of the FA. All this being said, there are still details to be ironed out regarding the event which will have large impacts in terms of total accumulations. && I mentioned a couple days ago just how consistent most of the models have been with 2 to 4 inches. A little bit of waffling but really not much. Let's see what happens during the next 36 hours with the model cycles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundings suggest it tries to get sleety at the end, but by then, the precip is basically over, so it won't matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
