Stormpc Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago The best part should hit us (Southside/NENC) between 11-3am. Atlantic and Gulf moisture is just beginning to get entrained into the system south near Wilmington. That will enhance the coverage for a while before it starts sliding further east off the coast. The western precip push appears done and is retreating back southeast but it should slow around somewhere from the lower Peninsula through Hampton Roads for a few more hours. We're going to need some good rates to get to the higher end of those forecasts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago All said I picked up well over 1.5 the past hour and closing in on 3 inches. Wonderful fluffy snow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Here's a few pics from outside. I have about 0.7" two miles SW of the W&M campus. I dont think I'll reach an inch based on radar. It's a very fluffy snow and too bad I'm too far north and west of the main action. But always a beautiful site, especially at night. Seems like every accumulating event this winter has started around 7 or 8pm. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siberian-Snowcover-Myth Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Roads are bad in eastern Henrico. Caved immediately…. The county didn’t have any plows on call tonight either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that happens but it just feels like the window is closing earlier than it was supposed to looking at that NW edge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next hour or 2 is time to cash in. I got lucky and was in that initial band for about 2 hours. Before I went out, I thought there was probably only about an inch or 1.5. I was wrong. But I just looked at the updated NWS forecast and now they have my area at 2-4. I may be in a narrow jackpot area for now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like maybe 1.5'' here near Downtown Norfolk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago Still falling here in Williamsburg. I feel like it's the same intensity it's been all along. Maybe I'll finish with another tenth of an inch or two before the back edge reaches me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago Ending here now, finished with 0.8". But certainly more than I anticipated when I woke up this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Nice enhanced band dropping South through the peninsula now. Might be the last hurrah up there but it's going to finish with a bang. Hoping the coastal moisture gets entrained to slow that crashing precip field a bit. Probably won't happen but we might see a few enhanced bands before it kicks off shore in a few hours.

Not bad at all. We take whatever we can get and enjoy it. That's the fun part. The beaches along the Outer Banks are going to have a fun few hours between now and 3:00 a.m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted 2 minutes ago Author Share Posted 2 minutes ago Officially 2.3" at ORF and 0.2" at RIC through midnight from this event. Should add a bit more at ORF when the next report is sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
