That gives me some sort of relief I guess. Hoping whatever forms shoots up the East coast into the Atlantic. Is that more likely to happen instead of a direct hit? Seems like the rest of the storms between now and then are making that curve. (I don’t know much about the tropics so please forgive my ignorance).

So it's growing increasingly likely this will likely hit Florida? I don't follow the tropics like I did winter weather in the Mid-Atlantic.

I'm going to Tampa from Aug 15 - Aug 22nd, the latest GFS and Euro models have me concerned. We are going down to close on a home (also my only vacation time of the year). Should I be concerned? I'll be so pissed off if the one week I chose to take off this year is screwed by a hurricane.

It’s time for green gas, cold beer, baseball, grilling and pool time. This weekend the clock marches forward. The sun is at the angle that never pleases us snow lovers. It is time for warmth. Down here in Richmond, it was underwhelming incredibly but at least we got above our recent average. Maybe you guys up North a bit can lock one more minimal event again but it’s time for late days and GRILLING! Oh and of course March Madness. GO J-M-U Duuuuuuuuuuuuuukes (doubtful we get in but hopeful).

It’s over gentlemen. I’m glad we got what we got but in retrospect it was incredibly underwhelming. The last system gave me around. 3-3.5” and it melted within 12-16 hours. It was like it didn’t happen. Incredible it snowed for essentially 14 hours and it was barely anything. It was around 25 degrees all day and even the roads melted at 8 am. Guess it’s the normal in Virginia now. I’ll be in Tampa this time next year. I hope you guys rock on and get pounded by a HECS next year, I’ll be rooting for you. Thank you all who have been here and interchanged thoughts and feelings. Miss you, RVA!

Sounds like some people here need to join Reddit, sounds like a safe place for them.

Jealous.

That's usually how it goes. Maybe I'll get lucky when visiting family for Christmas.

This was looking like a real crap shoot at 3-4pm today. Seeing that backfill followed by bands of heavy snow for 3 hours just made me so happy, especially knowing this is likely my last snow storm in VA. I admired every single second of this event. Crazy to think it snowed for 12 hours and we only ended up with 3-5 inches board wide in the metro region. This was really fun at the end. Thank you guys for sharing this time with me.

You should make it to 4. You’ll be one of the last in the area to see the last few flakes. Enjoy.

Yep. Everywhere around here besides maybe Bon Air is getting absolutely dumped on. We needed this. The roads are perfect. Honestly I’m glad it held off until night time because the sun setting is helping tremendously with accumulations.

About 4 miles east of ya, it is absolutely ripping harder than Cheech and Chong and Willie Nelson all combined.

Thank god.

Eagles fan or no?

I came back to say fuck yeah to this backend filling. Another hour or two of moderate to heavy snow. Completely unexpected after we all thought it was about to close curtains. Fuck yeah! Heaviest snow I’ve seen all day right now. I have 1.5 inches on the road and 3.6 on the ground in Western Henrico. I expect to get to 4 or 4.25 - 4.5. My 3-5 last call is being verified. Thank you snow gods. Thank you.
