2 inches here in Henrico. Damnit man I should’ve kept my 1-2 gut feeling final call. I told @RIC Airport yesterday I think 1-2 is the high end of this system but kept my word with the 3-5. The latest HRRR has this ending within the next hour. Shows over for us up this way folks.

Yeah, no one down there can really say "we deserve it" when they more often than not get bigger snows than RVA.

Yes, I meant East. This will be over shortly, sadly.

Back end pushing West rapidly, will be over by 5pm.

Rapidly coming to an end out west. I stand by my 3:30 comment. Sorry gents, even the short range models failed us yesterday. I hope everyone enjoys / enjoyed the snow falling around here in Richmond. Those of you SE, enjoy and send measurements.

About 2-3 miles N of you. Looks like sand falling here lol.

Blaming it on "model glitches" while he knew the entire time it was all bullshit that he was posting. He needs to have his page taken down.

He’s so full of shit.

That filled in a bit ago. Our Southwest side of the state it is done, and it is pushing this way as we speak. At the end of the day, we got measurable snow. It could have been absolutely nothing. While I'm a bit upset the roads didn't cave like I hoped (better for safety and overall emergencies in general) I'm content with 2 inches.

Come on, man. We knew this yesterday. The models showed up to 4-5 inches yes, including the GFS. Unfortunately, the short-range modles are more in tune with the actuality of what's happening. 3-4 inches is still possible. I'm close to 2 inches at 1:30 pm. We COULD see another 3-4 hours of snow.

We will be seeing snow rapidly end around 3:30 pm around metro Richmond. I'm pretty certain on that based on current radar readings.

Roads seem so close to caving again.

Sitting at approximately 1.75 inches on top of my car here just North of Tuckahoe.

I have no respect for someone who puts out maps the way he does. If you look at his comments on his last call map it's everyone tagging their entire family saying "OMG WE NEED TO PREPARE". It actually really annoys me how he does that for clicks and solely for monetary purposes. I get it, he's taking advantage of his platform but he also takes advantage of people who aren't well versed in winter weather as much as most of us are. I had coworkers shove his first guess map in my face and preached he is always right, of course they didn't like my rebuttal.

He looks like an entire assclown right now. "But but but, there's no way!!! The models (DID NOT) showed amazing rates and everything!!!". WRIC and WTVR need to come to reality as well.

All of the short-range models I've seen aren't even showing it reaching it Richmond at this point. IF it does, I expect it to be a brief snow shower for an hour or so. I can't imagine it'll be anything that will add additional accumulation. Hope I'm wrong. (I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL AND I SUCK AT ALMOST EVERYTHING SO I COULD BE WRONG ABOUT ALL OF THIS AND WE END UP WITH 5")

I fully expect precip to be out of Richmond by 4-5pm.

Hey man, I would love to be wrong. I'm just sharing mine and @RIC Airport non-professional opinions. Short-range models are not amplifying precipitation rates around here.

Latest short-range model projections indicate that his statement is true. Snow will wrap up in Richmond between 4-6 pm. Possibly earlier.

I would love for your arrows to be correct but it won't be pushing any decent rates past Petersburg. If I'm wrong I'll take you to Hooters.

This is why I wanted to lower my totals to 1-2 inches yesterday but already did my "final" call of 3-5. 1-2 was always much more realistic. Before those in Chesterfield say anything, yes you will end up with a bit more than Richmond.

I'm going to be the first to say it, this will be a bust for Richmond. Luckily, we set our expectations low yesterday. While yes, the numbers 3 up to 5 were thrown around I just don't see that happening. Those bands we expected to come North have no shot of making their way here. I may be alone but @RIC Airport may agree with me. We need to enjoy the next few hours of light snow we have because that's all that we will get as far as moderate precip.

Radar is splitting open, not a good sign. Not so sure those "heavier" rates will make their way up here. They will likely set up shop right around Petersburg and SE.

It does look like West of Richmond it is attempting to gather strength.

Still have moderate snow about 5 miles South of you. These rates aren't going to cut it. Despite being in the 20s it seems like it is melting. The roads are all just wet now (my untreated neighborhood road at that). I think 1-2 is more likely for Richmond. 2-3 is reasonable in Chesterfield.
