Yeah. They have said several times today they don’t expect sleet.

@Carvers GapThank You! I know yesterday I got under a few skins. I honestly when I made the comment about Bam winning the lottery. I was just making fun of him. It was poor judgment & for that I apologize. It’s nice to have a forum like this that everyone looks past our slip ups. I would never not cheer on everyone to get snow. Snow is magical! As I have gotten older I try to always remember we don’t know what that individual is going thru on the other end. I try to always these days show grace. I appreciate you & many others very much in this forum. I appreciate this forum helping others learn & keeping us updated. We look to have chances at the best possible time to score snow.

Funny enough the surgeon said today he would be there barring icepacolypse. His concern was the rest of the team who live in Pittsylvania county. .

They changed the requirements when they updated the criteria, WSWs can be issued 72 hours in advance if concensus is high enough... Every model dropping a foot plus after an Extreme Cold Warning? Justified Sent from my SM-S166V using Tapatalk

you're

I'll be SHOCKED if we hit 4'' of snow here in Norfolk, but I'll gladly take it before it gets washed away by sleet and rain!

Having lived in ChesCo for a significant portion of my life, I'd definitely try to get that genny working if I were still there now. That said, I'm also going to make sure ours is up to snuff here after work just in case.

Yep, that was it. Thank you. I was freaking out when I saw 2-3. Haha Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

Been up since this morning. I missed it on the Public page. Looks considerably better than some of the lighter (blowtorch) charts I've seen. Mostly lines up with national WPC stuff too. I'd still back off for KCHA (use those lower charts) but I like this one points northeast in the Great Valley. Crazy downslope still shows in the foothills, while keeping the other side of the Valley locked. And those elevations are in the warm layer.

I doubt down here even reaches warning criteria

I suspect some in the SW mountains may be downgraded to an advisory for this weekend. My forecast has me at 50 degrees Sunday with rain.

To be honest it's more like a reversion to the mean from a model that was much more amplified and warm than any other model.

Can confirm grocery stores are busier today than yesterday. And will be busier tomorrow than they are today. Totally getting rocked today.

Literal copy and paste from Euro lol

nice, am from the eastern suburbs but going to school in Michigan. will be content to watch this one from the sidelines and hope to get 1-2" up here from it.

They decreased totals a little. Still looking good though.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. 12Z Euro has 4.7 inches in Richmond right before changeover. It’s trending back up. Other models have higher on 12z. So, we'll see. On to 18z and 0z

Winter '94? I was also on main campus. I remember cars being completely buried and a massive snowball fight in between the dorms. I caught a stray to the side of my head that blew out both of my glasses lenses (we somehow found them in the snow anyway) and then we got in trouble for climbing on top of one of the covered walkways. Good times.

My husband told me to, and I quote, "Quit looking. No one knows.". Then he sighs, rolls his eyes, tells me to quit looking at the hype, and then goes back to watching TV.

Onset is close enough to use the Meso's for thermals at the start of the storm. I am curious if some of us can start in the single digits at the surface.

You don't see a map like this every Winter.

1.5" last night, tenth off the squall... 26" ots with the pattern coming up I *might* hit seasonal (56.5") by April (I hope). Seasonal totals since moving up here: 2023-24: 38" (42.5" total, 4.5" storm before moving up here) 2024-25: 60.1" 2025-26: 26" to date Sent from my SM-S166V using Tapatalk

I love when people question why someone might be disappointed in a flip. It's really thoughtful and no doubt makes the person on the other end automatically feel better about the prospect of flipping to sleet.

I'm going to put this here although it could easily go in this weekends storm thread 60-72 hrs lead issuing WSW region wide???? For a decent duration six inch plus event?? Maybe for the folks mid Atlantic and into the TN valley and OHIO valley and south....esp in regards to icing Still 2 full days for changes..it does sound miserably cold regardless Have we not learned anything from early March 2001?
