This area should do well in the coming couple of hours. 473545843_8887579137962843_7091287187062167741_n.mp4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris624wx Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Starting to feel like a bust here. We had that initial snow band that put down maybe .5. Turned the grass and roofs white but it's been a mix for the past 45 minutes or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you can see it on radar, models had this possibility for the south side, but surprised it’s happening this early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 It also could be rate dependent so could change back to all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we've been in some light returns so hopefully that's it. Think we'll be lucky to get to the low end 2'' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris624wx Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Okay, we've flipped back to snow. I think it was rate dependent. Hopefully these heavier returns continue for the next few hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 RIC recorded 1.0" through midnight. The heaviest rates of the night started after that so I think reaching 2.5-3" is certainly possible before things begin to wind down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Interesting, there is layer of warm air that moved over Williamsburg so changed to sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldub23 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 sleet and rain wins again here. Seems to be mostly rain with the thin snow on the roads quickly melting. Maybe 1.5 of snow before the rain. All rain now it seems. Odd how the radars insist its snowing, lol. This winter is worse than the last 4. I would rather have nothing than ugly slop.

I had about a 45 min period of sleet, but back to snow and up to 2.2" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris624wx Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Yep, feel pretty confident calling this one a bust. Just went out walking near Ghent and there's maybe a half inch of snow, but it's a mixture of sleet and snow falling now. Still nice to see, but lackluster. I wasn't jealous of my family and friends back in Georgia for their snow because I thought I'd be getting that and at least a bit more, but now I'm kind of jealous. Still a lot of winter left so hopefully we get another storm without a pesky warm nose. Happy for y'all that actually got a few inches and not slop! Time to get some sleep now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 A few pics taken in the last 10 mins. This is the Newtown area of Williamsburg, 2 miles SW of W&M campus. Looking at the radar, I'm guessing 4" is probably within reason before this is over. 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was up in Calvert, md for last storm so got my fill of snow for a bit. It anyways has changed over to just snow here and coming down heavy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Just shy of 3.5" measured as of 4am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 0.29" of QPF at RIC through 4 a.m. at 28°F is easily 3 to 3.5" of snow from this event. Maybe it'll come in a PNS statement later this morning; otherwise, we will have to wait until the CLI is sent around 5:30 p.m. to know the storm total. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Under an inch...Probably. 5 to .8 before it flipped it to freezing rain during that second batch. Never got above 32. Still at freezing right now. The trees are glazed. Otherwise whatever snow fell is matted own into a sloppy coating. About what I expected. Hoped for 1.5, got half. But for a living right on the shore of the Currituck the temperature was not the problem. Warming aloft did us in and everyone across the south side and away from the peninsula and further north. Still looked really nice for about an hour when everything was covered including the streets. In the end all the ideas of the heaviest snows being south and east of Richmond was correct. Fun little event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
