That was a great stretch, I was a junior in high school working at McDonald's.
-
I had enough sleet in 2003 (PDII) or was that (PDIII) to last my entire life. 5" of pure what can only be described as concrete.
-
I must have read Goochland and Hanover
-
Have to scroll down a bit but 1 to 4" before ice is a change.
-
I find it ironic the amount of banter or hang up about Short Pump in the main thread but if those of us from Short Pump were to comment we would be told to move it to banter.
-
Try Northern Tool on Broad near the Room Store just across from Westpark but on same side of Broad Street.

Watches up

I might go shake a few trees, smaller ones, to save them the extra weight.
-
Yeah, I am a fan of extreme weather but ice storms just aren't high on my list of things I like to experience. I might be lucky as on the same grid as a firehouse and transformers are buried. However, substations can get iced up and cut your power further up the line.
-
It's loud out there. Waiting for the quiet and then I know it's snowing.
-
I still have occasional pingers in Tuckahoe (Forest at Patterson) but it is based on how heavy the precip comes down. I hear it pinging off the PVC railing and hitting off the basement windows of my office, but predominantly rain.
-
I am hearing pingers here in Tuckahoe.
-
uh oh, do I dare venture into the main thread for analysis? Decisions, decisions.
-
Cary Street and River Road when it is just 2 lanes can be a daunting commute with even a minimal weather event. Might suggest cutting over to Grove or even using Patterson and going over the Willey Bridge as you have a bit more margin for error, longer route for sure but if we get 4" of snow, might be worth it.
-
Man, what the hell happened? Getting ready for another WWA. Just want a solid WSW event. The Euro is either in a slump, lost its touch or can't handle this pattern.
-
NBC12 pulled back, they were 3-6" for metro and 5-10" North and West.
-
Going to bust a little high on the temps today. Up to 44 here but clouds are settling in.
-
Ugh, glad I didn't stay up. I know winter weather is a crap shoot around here but darn sick of models honking on 8-12" or significant ice storm days out and then I sound the alarm at work, with caveats, only to have it pull back within 48 hours with what might be another WWA event.
-
It's good for info when they let the mets and experienced users analyze so I lurk for that but when it gets too DC centric on the analysis, it does get tough to filter.
-
UKIE on board. My wife is from Shropshire so I expect the Brits to be on my side for some snow.
-
I haven't been sifting through all the pages but is this a CAD situation? If so, doesn't the EURO have a better track record handling CAD than the GFS?
-
I would so take that and run. Especially if we get just enough ice to make it stick around, not enough to cause power loss but enough to where sledding would be supreme. Think the main thread is quiet as they root hard for the shift and also they were cracking down on banter. However, the no banter rule is usually ignored for the chosen ones in that thread.
-
Yeah roads white here but I am on a dead end cul de sac, assume main roads probably clear or just white to the sides. Oh what could have been if we had the temps.
-
Nice snow globe effect while enjoying my coffee this morning. Hope it holds on longer than expected.
-
Yep, we are now wet snow over here.
