Rvateach Posted Wednesday at 04:17 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:17 PM Slow rates for sure but still lots of time looking at radar. It’s weird not waiting for the sleet/rain to start mixing in with a storm. Certainly not hating the dry snow, leaf blower over shoveling 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaMan Posted Wednesday at 04:25 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:25 PM For those worried about the radar take a look at the current hours on the HRRR and active radar. In about 2 hours we will see the backfilling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still less the a half inch here… just can’t get any good decent banding up this way ..Almost has stopped a few times.. Hopefully later today & tomorrow over performs or will be another storm under 3 inches here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaMan Posted Wednesday at 04:43 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:43 PM After further in-depth evaluation looking at models and the current radar on my PC, out West it does seem to be drying up. I'm not so sure even if the coastal does push moisture that it will make it up this direction. We are in a very thin line for room for error right now. All TV Stations have potential to be bust, even NBC12. We will know more within the next hour on what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually think Virginia Beach has the best chance to score 10 inches away from the immediate coast. Maybe near the Town Center. The coastal is going to obviously be closer and throw decent moisture back so it's going to snow longer there than anywhere. Someone has a shot from Newport News down through Elizabeth City to hit double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesin2011 Posted Wednesday at 04:53 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:53 PM In the next hour another dry sport is heading for this area .. Definitely right on the line for something decent.. Again if it’s snowing better then it is now at 3pm we will have a chance to get to 3 inches + … I’ll be happy to get to 2 here … The upper air low tomorrow look's like it may miss this area all together on the last run but we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
