I think it'll set up north of the last band so you should do well in SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldub23 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Unless something changes alot 4-6 seems very unlikely, 2 will probably do it here. Just light stuff to the west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 First band ready to push off the coast. Little bit of a lull ready to push into the south side of Hampton Roads and Northeast North Carolina before the Redevelopment out by Rocky Mount comes through. I suspect that will be something other than snow here but it looks real nice now. Everything is covered. Looks like a real storm. 31.0/29. I've got my fix for the year. I'm good. Enjoy this further north. I'm hoping everyone gets a little surprise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the cold, it just seems so persistent, which has been rare for so many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 0.09" of QPF at RIC at mostly 28°F so one of the recent model runs already busted. I'm pretty sure I saw a 0.08" one something earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siberian-Snowcover-Myth Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Looks like to my untrained eyes, RIC to Petersburg could be setting up in heavy bands shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris624wx Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Starting to feel like a bust here. We had that initial snow band that put down maybe .5. Turned the grass and roofs white but it's been a mix for the past 45 minutes or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you can see it on radar, models had this possibility for the south side, but surprised it’s happening this early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 It also could be rate dependent so could change back to all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we've been in some light returns so hopefully that's it. Think we'll be lucky to get to the low end 2'' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris624wx Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Okay, we've flipped back to snow. I think it was rate dependent. Hopefully these heavier returns continue for the next few hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 RIC recorded 1.0" through midnight. The heaviest rates of the night started after that so I think reaching 2.5-3" is certainly possible before things begin to wind down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldub23 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 sleet and rain wins again here. Seems to be mostly rain with the thin snow on the roads quickly melting. Maybe 1.5 of snow before the rain. All rain now it seems. Odd how the radars insist its snowing, lol. This winter is worse than the last 4. I would rather have nothing than ugly slop.

I had about a 45 min period of sleet, but back to snow and up to 2.2" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near ft Eutis with this heavy band, snow main precip type but also sleet and freezing rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris624wx Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Yep, feel pretty confident calling this one a bust. Just went out walking near Ghent and there's maybe a half inch of snow, but it's a mixture of sleet and snow falling now. Still nice to see, but lackluster. I wasn't jealous of my family and friends back in Georgia for their snow because I thought I'd be getting that and at least a bit more, but now I'm kind of jealous. Still a lot of winter left so hopefully we get another storm without a pesky warm nose. Happy for y'all that actually got a few inches and not slop! Time to get some sleep now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 A few pics taken in the last 10 mins. This is the Newtown area of Williamsburg, 2 miles SW of W&M campus. Looking at the radar, I'm guessing 4" is probably within reason before this is over. 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was up in Calvert, md for last storm so got my fill of snow for a bit. It anyways has changed over to just snow here and coming down heavy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
