Not a reprimand! Frankly, I just want the northern crew to sound like we are used to snow and brush these misses off like a dusting on the windshield. But, yea, I’m really jelly. December snow IS special.

Just got the WSW text for my yard. Welcome surprise. Lowest stress warning level storm I can remember. Never expected it and here it is 8 hours before onset lol. Awesome

28.5/27.2 at 9:30 here. Although I am one county off from the just issued WSW, I'll take whatever falls. The models have done nothing but increase snowfall with each run it seems.

I don’t remember Bill Kuster either, but I remember the Lynda Gialanella train wreck. Not weather, but I miss the Denenberg Dump.

Man.. NWS dropping the hammer and issuing Warnings. @Bob ChillALERT

Nice burst of moderate to heavy snow with the cold front. Probably translates more to an orographic nature following the band. METAR KMVL 080220Z AUTO 36009KT 1/2SM SN FZFG BKN009 OVC018 M07/M09 A2990 RMK P0002 The small flake WAA steady light snow that dropped a couple inches on the front side, transitioning to CAA fluffy/breezy snow.

NWS just dropped the hammer and upgraded ROA over to LYH to a Warning.

I had to go down this road, stay strong and believe, you have my best hope and prayers. Positive mindset is stronger than anybody can measure.

WSWs just dropped for VA from Roanoke to RIC

I hope that you had a great day at Elizabeth Farms! We took our 2 daughters there for around the last 8 years. They have a nice set up there to see Santa & get a good photo that often became our Christmas card. We would then take a ride on their horse drawn wagons that take you out to the tree cutting area. We just enjoyed the ride, even though we’ve always had an artificial tree, lol. Then we’d get some cocoa in their gift shop while we warmed up. Our kids always picked out a new ornament for our tree each year. Enjoy it my friend, because time flies! My daughters are now 12 & 14 and this is the first year that we did not go to Elizabeth Farms because they both now have out grown going to see Santa!

God bless you and your family[emoji120] .

0z HRRR - a bit of an increase overall from 18z but like the NAM and 3k especially in the south side of the RIC metro

Barely rings a bell? Probably because my parents never watched channel 3...

AKQ just upgraded RIC metro to a warning.

Winter Storm Warning was a surprise… I think first one i’ve had in awhile due to school.

Upgraded to winter storm warning !

Bill Kuster mid 70s Lamaine was late 80s early 90s. https://youtube.com/watch?v=LBiU_C2hwag&si=PdWhr-JTXffW4rqW

There have been some front end winters (hello 2000-01) but certainly after Christmas is often when a lot of the fun is.

much more excited for tomorrow than i was for friday

3k NAM is lighter with precip but still a step up from 18z.

Also, we have to give the ICON a lot of credit on this one. There were a few runs a couple days ago where it was the ONLY model showing accumulating snow.

Hi Res Nam. Should be at least some coatings in northern NC. If a band sets up maybe an inch or 2.

Central VA generally doesn't do well with anything other than an already developed low moving into cold air. For example, the second Feb 2010 storm was either a total whiff or a light event here. That's why I'd, based on pure semi-educated guess, lean towards a lower total. The precip has to develop mostly over us due to the coastal/ULL. I'd love to be proven wrong though lol

Yes it is
