CMC looks decent 

 

Edit-it ends up as weak sauce and NC gets decent snow as it passes to our south and east and OTS

Dec. 2004 + Dec. 2010 redux? 
 

I feel like every so many years, there’s a monster storm, and it very narrowly only clobbers Hampton Roads and no one else. :lol:

Don’t get me wrong, of course. Good for them! They get snow even less than we do!

@Conway7305, @wasnow215, @RVAman12z GFS sliding south from earlier runs, max potential seems to be about 6".

My question is, when will we finally have a pure snowstorm again?

Especially after the ice being responsible for this water fiasco in Richmond. We certainly don’t need more ice.

No doubt.  Avula has to be reconsidering his career change getting hit with this in the first month.  Working downtown today, brought my own water but now apparently, pressure becoming an issue in the building and without restrooms, will have to head home.

Just really really seems like everything is converging for a 2-4" snow overnight Friday into Sat? Anyone say anything different right now?

That's what I'm seeing as well. 

Here is some data using the latest GEFS ensembles, and a meteogram with the outputs of the deterministic models plotted together.

Seems like the trends so far today continue to look good for maybe at least a 2-4 inch snow down here in Hampton Roads. If we're not going to get an amped low south of Hatteras, I'll take a weaker slider. We had some pretty decent snows in January 2022 from some sliders on back to back weekends!

84 hour NAM looked good. This is at 1am Saturday.

Still wondering the same, maybe better luck Friday night into Saturday for a 3-6" event and no ice or slop in between.

Yeah, I’d take this in a heartbeat over anything with more ice.

Richmond *STILL* doesn’t have water in most neighborhoods.

Hanover having issues, too. And I just saw that there was another malfunction at the city treatment site. Hang in there! I hope you have access to water or some friends who are not affected and can provide you a place to shower or something. I'm sure they are working around the clock to resolve the situation

Expecting either a 2-4 event or a 4-6 event for this weekend. It could bomb as well. THIS is a setup we want, for us here in Central VA and yall down in the south east. Too bad it’s on a Friday into Saturday and not Sunday into Monday again.

Also, this is a good sign for the rest of winter. It’s the first week of January and we received a 6” storm. That’s the first time in a long long while around these parts. We could end up being well above average by the end of March.

I got right at  4” from this past storm here in Varina. Wouldn’t mind another 4” to get me near climo, this early in the season. I think right now, we’re in a good spot for this next event.

Did you account for the additional snowfall last night? RIC got 6 total from the storm. Actually surprised it melted as much as it did today. It never “felt” like 6 inches were on the ground at one time.

Actually I didn’t. It may have been closer to 5”. I was surprised also how quick it had melted.
