That pesky dry air up this way is what they are picking up on. Hopefully it's a bit overdone. From the looks of the radar, you'd think we'd be getting a foot. 

 

 

 

 

It's legit unfortunately. I don't think it's possible to start off with a much drier airmass than this one lol. Especially this far south. 

That said, it's not a clipper and the front side of the snow is WAA and it's super juicy to the south. It may not take too long to get things saturated. Ratios may start off kinda weak then fluff up as we go into the night. 10:1 seems like a safe bet unless there's an enhanced band of lift with staying power. 

This is a good example sounding of what I'm thinking. Flakes won't be big and fluffy with those omegas. Last couple hours of snowfall look much better though and time will tell like always.

Thanks, Bob. Appreciate your insights.

3 inches  is what  i consider a snowstorm here. Wakefield was saying mixing  is  most  likely south of Norfolk. North VAB  could  be the  big winner  if they stay snow.

Hoping we can hang on to the snow during the heaviest precip at least.

I think Northern sections of Norfolk and Virginia Beach can hold on through most of it as long as there's no easterly component to the wind. I think that's where the battle line sets up. Everything south of 264 is gonna flip. My guess. We'll see. Still 6 to 8 hours away from first flakes
