Yeah, have to remind myself to take a step back as well. We had signs and feelings that this would be like 2003 and really looking that way. It’s still winter weather and will hope against hope that all in this sub forum don’t get any freezing rain.

Thanks for dropping in Yoda and posting those, per usual. Always appreciate those who remember mid-Atlantic extends beyond DC.

I just ordered a few non-electric portable heaters, so, expect this to trend back to more snow than ice, just doing my part.

Yeah, I hope he is right but everything we have seen in the main thread, it would look like this map was made on Monday.

Well, we still have a couple of days, praying for a better solution, including a shutout.

I would rather have nothing and let the DC crew have their snow. I love winter weather but not at this potential cost.

That amount of QPF and showing only 3-5" of snow has me worried about power and trees, temps in the 20's and all that precip has to fall as something and Dr. No is saying, it's not snow.

Yeah, I have no scientific, or otherwise, evidence to support this, other than memory for tracking this stuff since days back on Eastern, but have a feeling that the northern shift occurring early, works in our favor. Again, always know that RVA in the bullseye should be scrutinized heavily unless it is 48 hours out. But, typically we are in the bullseye for longer before the inevitable north shift occurs closer to the onset. This time the northern shift feels early, so gut tells me, expect some shift south, not RVA jack, but enough to push that ice threat down south some more. Total weenie post, so I did it for ya.

Yes, looks like the bleeding may have stopped. Just a tick south. Fingers crossed for a trend or at least locking in. Just don’t want a PDII redux as I have those vibes, we only ended up with 3-5”’of concrete.

Yeah ICON still good for us, as long as the bleeding has stopped on the Euro, will feel pretty good and maybe get some sleep. It’s tough in our little thread, and we only come out when there is a real threat, but between CHO, EZF, ROA, RIC, LYH, NOR and HR as a whole, we have a lot of differences, we are big damn state.

Yep, sign me up for that, then some cold so it sticks around, and I won't care what it does the rest of the season, I will have had my fix.

I just wish it was Thursday. I just can't stand the pit in my stomach where RVA, and Short Pump, are in the crosshairs this far out. Shoot, I am 55, I should not be worrying about this stuff, but weenieism knows no age limit. I feel like the TV mets have been burned enough that they are tempering as well, Frieden "snow likely, major possible" same Zach D and Matty D., very careful in their messaging.

Still, can't help but be nervous in they bullseye this far out. However, the setup does not seem to favor the inevitable shift to the north that has made me gun shy.

Those were the days...are we sure this wasn't Mike Brady working for TWC? That perm is solid.

This has to be a sign of the apocalypse.

Agreed, unexpected but appreciated. Again, 2 separate December events this early in the season, I cannot recall.

Whatever we get, this is a great start. Two events in early December for RVA. Tempted to get a t-shirt that says Short Pump is a snow town for some posters in the main thread. DISCLAIMER - Knowing that they will get theirs, and as always when we get a real big one, they get even a bigger one. No real insult, snark or regional bias intended.

I am unsure, but maybe we held on above freezing a bit longer than others, a lot of asphalt to overcome down here. Back at my house in Tuckahoes, car top reports suggest 3". So, I am hoping for 5" there and maybe 3" in the city? Hard to say as I have not been watching radar returns, trying to work but still get caught up staring out the window like when I was a kid at Skipwith Elementary.

That would be sweet.

Wow, okay, I would maybe put downtown at .5" Watching the plows circle around down here with nothing to plow.

Yep, temp and rates seems to have found a sweeter spot downtown now. Awaiting, the HR liability email, sending folks home soon.

Finally getting to a point of "game on" in downtown. Grassy coating and less traveled, sides of streets, starting to cave.

While I do love snow, I would give it up to live by the ocean. It really is struggling to accumulate, even grassy areas have only begun to cave in downtown. I'm not sure we make that 3-5" range, hope I am wrong. Just feel like I have seen this movie before.
