Around about 10-11am I had a 5-10 minute period of sleet with a handful of huge white snowflakes fall here in western Chesterfield County. Since then, though, it's been a freezing cold rain.
Well, good news for you guys up North. Down here in Midlothian, VA I just briefly mixed with sleet and saw a mangled flake or two during a downpour.
You're welcome and I still hate you.
@DTWXRISK, what needs to happen with this system for the Richmond area to cash in on a little bit of snow? Any hope of a SE shift, or a more negative tilt? Or, should I just go book a hotel at Charlestown Casino for Tuesday - Thursday?
Yeah, I'm not giving up yet. Radar looks better than the NAM already. Lots of times the precip shield extends much further than the models show. At the very least, we should see some flurries, which will make this the 2nd best storm of the year!
Sleet in Richmond, VA. I’ll call it a win. First winter weather event for my newborn son born two days ago! It’s all his fault that I’m up at this hour to see it!
I'm on the Henrico/Goochland line and we've had snow falling since about noon, but no stickage, not even on grass.
My wife is at work in eastern Henrico and the ground is white, even starting to stick to sidewalks and side roads.
Areas east of 95 and south of 64 down in Richmond are getting a good bit of snow. Even some stickage to sidewalks and side roads. Heavier bands have dropped the temp to 32 in some places.
