I'll take this.

I don't know about y'all but my odds are on that the QPF field shifting more north as we get closer. Just a wag that Richmond doesn't see close to a foot out of this. The confluence isn't nearly as strong as the November storm. 

May not see a foot, but just a wag we jackpot

Chuck was right...it’s just RICs year to shine.

As long as there isn’t another wall of pressure there, it should shift north.  

I was speaking with Chuck earlier and we both agreed the cyclical nature of this really favors the same locations impacted on 12/10. I think dc folks may see few flakes...just enough to wet the whistle and leave folks dangling from the cliff.

Perfect choice of a screen name bro.

Atmosphere don’t lie

Typically I would feel bad for RIC stealing yalls snow again, but @Bob ChiII taught me this is a mby type vibe around these parts, so I’m def rooting for RIC jackpot with sharp cutoff north. #atmosphericmemorybro

16f low.  15f on sat morning.  Both with a lot of frost.  Best accumulations of the winter.  Take that, richmond.

That’s brutal. Once the VDOT plow gets done pushing the 14” off my street, I’ll send him up your way

Just cleared the driveway.  That’s some heavy ass snow!  Glad I did it tonight before this freezing drizzle solidifies it.  I wouldn’t even be mad if there’s a fresh coat on it tomorrow.  Y’all be safe out there. Update your beneficiaries on your life insurance before you shovel just to be safe! 

I just did the same for 2nd time tonight. The first time shoveling around 4 wasn’t too bad, but that second round was pretty rough

10.5” and still pouring. What a storm!

Yeh this has been a doozy. Im about 10.5” myself around courthouse/hull

Man what a great storm and for it to be during day has been awesome

Agreed. Wonder if that will spread out a bit. 

 

Cant help thinking that we’ve watched this time period for 3 weeks or more, tracked this storm for 10-12 days, and it’s going to be a MECS that we miss by a hundred miles or less. 

I hope we do ok here in RIC, but it will feel bittersweet if folks up north don’t cash in as well. Really appreciate the work y’all do and hoping this one shares the love with y’all.

Winds started howling and power finally out. Feel like gusting about 50 here

Wind just starting ripping in Chesterfield/Richmond and power flickering. Rain had def picked up like crazy

If anything that should have been a reason to take them more seriously than normal.

Meh...or reason to be complacent. We know how to prepare for snow, but tornados always seem like fake news

And people are just driving by like it's no big deal lol

I was one of them as it was only few mins from my house. I’m used to the typical warning and everyone stops what doing to shelter, however today was so many warnings in few hours you just kind of became numb to it

Here is another pic of around Jeanette’s pier in Nags head where they measured 10 foot drop. The rain has been brutal here on the coast

Beaches in nags head have taken a beating since Saturday. Now back to dunes with about 5-10 foot sand cliff in some spots

Stop trying to cockblock my snow with this drought talk. 

3” again for RVA

Flurries picking up in RIC

@Jebman Trying to figure out how much snow going to get. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your foot pain tonight?

Roger’s 10” call for RIC def justifies shots of Titos. 

No doubt about it, we are going to get smoked!

We've still got 24 hours of guidance until we can make that answer. Could be a blip, but the trends are still very exciting, so I'm hopeful.

Meh...we don’t need guidance. Once that Jebman fella said he was getting that pain in his foot I knew the snow was a lock

I think 3-4” is safe call for RIC and DC. Pretty sure the GFS will get folks little excited later

This is one of those storms where you just say screw the models and realize it’s meant to be.
