This was posted on facebook about an hour ago: Hoober Inc (10450 Success St, Ashland, VA) . tSSp1ldonsorehd · Ashland, VA · We have (3) Case IH 4200W gas generators left in stock for $588.00 plus tax and (1) Kubota 11kW diesel generator in stock for $7,175.00 plus tax. Call us at the Ashland location at 798-1500 if you have any questions and ask for the Parts Dept.

it's going to be ugly - ground is saturated and loose plus trees are already wet and heavy

how do the winds look?

Wow - still going Saturday 00z Have the freezing rain amounts?

They did get about 4" and .5" ice with this last storm. This doesn't look good.

Ouch!

HRRR looks a little bit more juiced on the southern area at 60 compared to NAM - cold also digs a bit more south and we snow through the run (12z thursday) compared to NAM where we start as sleet/freezing rain.

And DT back with the “no models/data show anything significant for Richmond area”- ukie, cmc, gfs all show something fairly significant along with the rdps. NAM is basically on its own island at this point

Man that GFS cutoff is brutal.

GFS

UKMET with the continued trend more south - at least in terms of expansion RDPS (end of run so hard take with a grain of salt) shows what the GFS does - at least .5" of freezing rain

Will take only 3 hours without power from this (fingers crossed things do t turn overnight). Most of Ashland town and just outside seemed to be without around the same and was restored fairly quickly

Generators for the win! Going on about 3.5 hours- roughly .55-.6” here on top of 6” snow (compacted down to 3.75” now)

That went away quick - looks like we’re done?

Nevermind was looking at models which don’t show this big ass swath coming towards us

Looks like we’re pretty much done now

No bueno- that may push close to 3/4”. Still have power but just heard a generator kick on in the neighborhood and it’s going out left and right in Ashland per FB page. nevermind- I was in garage so couldn’t tell but just lost here

Hit the .5” mark. Snow compact down to about 3.75”

Hit the .5” mark . Snow compacted down to about 3.75”

Looks like 8-9pm stop time per HRRR (has been on fire lately). Power flickering a bit the last 30, imagine it’ll kick soon. Went out for a nice bike ride with the kiddo

Up to about .4” now. Radar looks lighter and most recent local update was about .15” more

Sitting at about .4”

Still 6-7 hours to go per HRRR and about 5 per NAM. So essentially we are not quite halfway in
