Only 10:1 available on WxBell but definitely an increase vs 18z in snow totals with the RIC to EZF totals bumping up. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaMan Posted Tuesday at 03:40 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:40 AM RIC is starting to trend a bit better as of late runs. No it won’t be a MECS or anything remotely close but if we get 4-6 inches as my (likely and very possible) last snow storm here in Virginia after 30 years of life I’ll gladly take it. I remember being so young and getting storms and the snow would last on the ground for a week or two. Especially in the early 00s. Maybe it’s because I was only 3 feet - 4 feet tall but man I remember the days I could sled for DAYS with my buddies. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where that last minute north trend will do wonders for RIC (and could make a difference in EZF). If I was a betting man, I’d say RIC gets over 5” from this. Have fun man! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This won’t be close to that around EZF, but 2” seems a possibility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m an idiot though so take that with a grain of salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get an all snow 2-4 inches I’ll be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted Tuesday at 03:49 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:49 AM Right on cue, GFS is backing up my unscientific predictions. Over 2” in EZF and over 5” in RIC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just continually bumped north last 24-36 hours. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it shows 20” and two days later zero, what am I supposed to learn and take with me as to their value? And how about the times it gives the solution you want 7 days out then verified! What do you make of the model then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuchera is going big on ratios. 10-1 is 2-4 and in line with most other guidance. I'd say qpf is very believable. Not sure about 15:1 but if high ratios are going to happen, column is as good as it gets. Flakes gotta be big and fluffy. Ive seen totals end up low with cold storms before when snow growth is weak and flake quality is closer to sand than pillows.

I’m tracking this for Deep Creek in western MD since we’ll be there Wed - Sun hosting family. I like seeing the improvement there for the ULL and upslope Thursday/Friday too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted Tuesday at 04:29 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:29 AM Running the 2m dp loop for this storm is telling. Between the hp to the west and confluence to the northeast, there’s just not enough moisture overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last storm was the pillows, but on a different type of set-up. Over half-dollar sized flakes fell for close to two hours, 5 inches plus. Just 15-20 miles south they were in sleet.

Actually, it was a slight improvement… Another bump up before game-time could really make it a decent event for that area… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
