wasnow215 Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago 14 minutes ago, RIC Airport said: Although no month is ever the same, but I see January 1977 coming up a lot as an analog. It was RIC's second coldest January (after 1940) on record. Looks like there was a 7" snowstorm early in the month before the motherlode of cold arrived mid-month with highs only in the teens and even a below 0°F reading. There was at least a trace of snow on the ground most of the month. The last time there was a high temperature below 20°F at RIC was back in February 1996. Most recently there was a high of only 21°F in February of 2015. The most recent below 0°F reading at RIC was in January 2018 when it hit -3°F at the airport. The coldest day I can remember recently was Christmas Eve 2023. What were the highs and lows that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago Verbatim surface temps at RIC remain below freezing throughout the event. But, we rise above 0°C at 850mb for a time, unfortunately. I'm sure 00z will offer a different solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted 16 hours ago Author Share Posted 16 hours ago Better than 12z GEFS, but not as good as the 6Z run. Obviously, even with ensembles there will be some fluctuations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope 12Z is a bump back in the right direction. Here is the 00Z run map for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted 15 minutes ago Author Share Posted 15 minutes ago 12Z GFS has the initial wave for 1/6 to 1/7 cutting west of the mountains, but we start as snow and then change to IP/ZR. As depicted, there could actually be a significant amount of ice in spots before changing over to rain. The next wave is suppressed to our south, but it is certainly not a bad spot at this range, as things do trend north over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling ensembles will be better at 12z , it showing the 2nd storm, though suppressed is a better run then 6z. Kinda of in line with the Euro. If that first storm doesn’t cut we get more ice/snow but the 2nd storm will likely be OTS. I’m rooting for the 2nd storm on 1/8-9 as Euro shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
