That filled in a bit ago. Our Southwest side of the state it is done, and it is pushing this way as we speak. At the end of the day, we got measurable snow. It could have been absolutely nothing. While I'm a bit upset the roads didn't cave like I hoped (better for safety and overall emergencies in general) I'm content with 2 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek015 Posted Wednesday at 06:39 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:39 PM LOL at DTs latest update. " 115 pm Radar update.... Everything north and west of the black line is light snow and snow intensity is so light that I doubt if anybody north of the black line is going to get anything over 2 inches and that includes Richmond. In essence everything north and west of the black line is falling apart faster the Kansas City's offense line in the super bowl.. The blue area is represent pockets of moderate snow embedded in the light snow. There is No doubt my forecast is going to bust terribly in the Virginia Piedmont and in the Richmond Metro area. Even worse is the fact that all the short Range model data have also performed very badly. Usually you can anticipate some kind of error or break down at some portion of a forecast because of various factors. You should expect some kind of glitch in the short range models that missed a particular aspect of a storm whether it's rain or high winds or cold or snow. But even early this WED morning all of the short Range models had Richmond getting 5 inches of snow and that is clearly not happening. Even the low end snow forecast are going to be wrong . No one north and west of the Black line is getting 2-6” of snow. And yeah from what I can see all the TVs forecast in the Richmond Metro area are going to bust too. Raleigh and Northeast North Carolina still have a really good chance of getting three to six inches of snow out of this and Hampton Roads it still has a very good chance of getting eight of more inches out of this The last two events I did really well and I was very pleased with the forecast. Forecast. but this one I will end up easily being my worst perform of the winter. A very difficult and frustrating storm." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted Wednesday at 06:44 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:44 PM Light to occasionally moderate snow now. Currituck. Flake size alternating between smaller and fatter dendrites. Sidewalks driveway and Street caved. 25.6°. I suspect the main roads are still okay but that will go down hill real quickly. It's getting dark even with the high Sun angle. That's usually a good sign things are going as planned. Not going outside to measure but I suspect around a half inch. It's real windy as well. Being right on the shoreline it looks like a blizzard at times with the snow blowing off the roofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/16/2025 at 7:36 PM, chris624wx said: Yeah the past couple of winters have been sad until we had the event in January 2025, which only really whet the appetite for me haha In 2023 and 2024, many areas experienced a notable lack of snow. However, there is some truth that ORF has been performing better than RIC relative to the average and certainly have gotten bigger storms. In fact, ORF was one of the few stations that saw an increase in its 30-year average when the snowfall data from 1991 to 2020 was released, whereas RIC lost 1.5 inches. For a station with snowfall observations dating back to 1874, consider how many top 10 snowfall months it has recorded this century. We can confidently say that February 2025 will be added to this list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conway7305 Posted Wednesday at 07:08 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:08 PM Euro is King, that’s all I got to say. The strengthening coastal may slow down the precept shield moving to the south east.

TampaMan Posted Wednesday at 07:39 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:39 PM 2 inches here in Henrico. Damnit man I should’ve kept my 1-2 gut feeling final call. I told @RIC Airport yesterday I think 1-2 is the high end of this system but kept my word with the 3-5. The latest HRRR has this ending within the next hour. Shows over for us up this way folks.
