Maybe the east/weak trend is ending. 18Z ICON while not seen as a great model has reversed its trend and is stronger with more precip. Not over in RIC yet. The west trend has begun
Ukie and euro far better this evening
I think it will end up 4-6 for richmond. This always happens. We rarely see the models show big snow without change for days. The 06Z Euro is very similar to the 0Z. 4-6 looks good for RIC.
Whatever ends up happening this is the best set-up possible for this area. Arctic front stalls to our SE and then we wait to see if a strong enough low can bring us a good snow. W e may still whiff but at least this is far better than the last low.
