These rates aren't going to cut it. Despite being in the 20s it seems like it is melting. The roads are all just wet now (my untreated neighborhood road at that). I think 1-2 is more likely for Richmond. 2-3 is reasonable in Chesterfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conway7305 Posted Wednesday at 05:16 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:16 PM It’s currently building in but we need it to get going, only flurries now in Short Pump. I think we get most acummlatuons between 3-6pm as costal enhances the bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaMan Posted Wednesday at 05:17 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:17 PM Radar is splitting open, not a good sign. Not so sure those "heavier" rates will make their way up here. They will likely set up shop right around Petersburg and SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaMan Posted Wednesday at 05:24 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:24 PM I'm going to be the first to say it, this will be a bust for Richmond. Luckily, we set our expectations low yesterday. While yes, the numbers 3 up to 5 were thrown around I just don't see that happening. Those bands we expected to come North have no shot of making their way here. I may be alone but @RIC Airport may agree with me. We need to enjoy the next few hours of light snow we have because that's all that we will get as far as moderate precip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I wanted to lower my totals to 1-2 inches yesterday but already did my "final" call of 3-5. 1-2 was always much more realistic. Before those in Chesterfield say anything, yes you will end up with a bit more than Richmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sernest14 Posted Wednesday at 05:35 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:35 PM per 12z nam, we were only at .01-05” through 1 pm Hrrr .01-.05” through 2pm As the low creeps up it’s going to fill in more and also push the better returns into our area which is what almost all the models show as well 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm wrong I'll take you to Hooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted Wednesday at 05:37 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:37 PM Have the beginning of a nice dusting down here in currituck. Surprised it's accumulating to everything but the roads for now. Just haven't had the rates yet but that should change after around 3:00 once that's an angle gets lower. Temp down to 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would feel better if you were living south and east of the city instead of Short Pump, Midlothian or Ashland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterfieldVa80 Posted Wednesday at 05:41 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:41 PM The radar is filling in. The outer band (currently along and southeast of interstate 81) is sinking southeast and the returns will fill in, connecting the band just to our southeast. This will then slowly slip southeast and clear the metro between 6-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted Wednesday at 05:46 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 05:46 PM Also, we can look at the short-range models, but they are not always precise about where bands will develop. Quite a few places well north of Richmond are doing better than expected. There could always be surprises, and we'll have to wait and see how the rest of today goes. Also, don't forget about the ULL swinging through tomorrow. It, too, could offer some surprises. Hard to say either way, models have varied on its intensity.
