Don’t think I’ve ever seen a storm rapidly fall apart like this within this day 3 time frame. 

OTTOMH, the 12/3-4/2000 storm was a major disappointment for most of our area. I guess unless you live in Franklin, Ahoskie, Currituck areas. :) Many areas in NE NC received 10-15" of snow.

But, the storm was supposed to affect most of east central and SE VA. In fact, NWS Wakefield (as you can see below) even issued a winter storm watch as far N and W as the Richmond metro area. Unfortunately, in the final 24hours the models shifted the storm farther south. It could've been better region-wide, one of my worst memories.

I guess only hope now is that it’s over advertising the polar vortex.  I know we have had some cold air invasions this winter but have they been as forecasted with the strength?

We can hope in the final 24hrs there will be an adjustment. The 1/30/2010, which dropped 10" at RIC and 6" at ORF, went north in the final 36-48hrs because of this very thing.
