bit of sleet snow mixing in

started as rain in newport news. Thought there might be a brief bit of snow/sleet, but nothing

That is certainly faulty in SE VA. 1-4 in norfolk and vab? no snow there at all.

I am quite skeptical of this new GFS. I would expect to see alot of that snow not to occur in the east and se parts of the snow coverage shown on the map. We will see. I certainly havent been terribly impressed with it since it was unveiled.

I cant imagine much if anything for se va, including richmond. It seems we will be on the northern extent of the precip and i doubt it will precip hard enough to be snow.

Im in se va and there is no way im getting 6-10 inches. All rain here.

I think the FV3 needs alot of work. I wouldnt count on that considering it seems much worse than the regular GFS.

Friday could be very similar to 1998 Bonnie here.

Its just odd that they arent seeing what TWC is seeing

Just checked Wakefield and they are only saying a few snow showers are possible in NE forecast area Tues. .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Low confidence forecast beyond Monday as 12z/11 suite of models are having a difficult time in resolving differences wrt handling of a strong upper trough/closed low digging across the Great Lakes/Northeast next week. Will lean toward a blend of the 12z GFS/GEFS/CMC which all seem to be in reasonable agreement with the aforementioned trough/closed low pivoting SE to a centralized position over Lake Erie by 12z Tues. From there, this feature slowly lifts NE into New England by 12z Thurs. In doing so, it will force a cold front through the local area on Tues with high pressure returning next Wed/Thu. What remains to be seen as whether or not the front produces any pcpn as it passes on Tues, as it would probably be cold enough aloft to generate some snow showers (at least NE of the I-64 corridor). Have placed some low PoPs in these areas. Otherwise, next week is looking dry and chilly. Highs Monday from the mid 30s N to low 40s S. Highs Tuesday from the mid 30s N to the mid 40s south. Highs next Wed/Thu in the 30s. Lows through the period primarily in the teens and 20s. Thats from the afternoon disco

Hope the temps start dropping.

Yea, looked pretty pathetic here with nothing just west of the coast. He also showed gfs and euro accumulations and they werent much either. I guess he just decided to assume NWS was right to issue a watch.

No need for complaints. Many people in the SE have already had more snow than normal for winter.
