    Roads have now caved with the heavier rates. Didn’t take long.
  2. Rhino16
    I went for an hours long walk in the snow, it was great. Roads still winning from what I can tell.
  3. Rhino16
    Roads still wet only, we had a snow hole for a bit here, but it resumed.
  4. Rhino16
    The snow is light and pavement has melted so it’s not snow covered anymore. Hoping we get similar bands to the stuff south of Roanoke…

    Snow started at some point and now it’s falling at decent rate. Asphalt lightly covered patchily.

    Really nice to wake up to at 12z. The closer we get, the more I trust the GFS.

    Woke up to surprise snow / graupel this morning in bburg. looks like it never happened now but it was nice to see.
  8. Rhino16
    There’s only one storm?
  9. Rhino16
    Indeed it is, the run after it is just that empty.
  10. Rhino16
    Right where we want it at hour 228 on the GFS.

    You all down here will have higher odds than me when I get back to blacksburg. I guess I’ll have bitter cold.
  12. Rhino16
    I really don’t think a 5” difference in the mean is that dramatic of a difference, so I agree.
  13. Rhino16
    The GFS is always super cold 6 days out and I can’t remember if it’s always that potent.
  14. Rhino16
    The GFS does a decent job with rainfall totals. I’ve made some accurate 3 day forecasts with it as a heavy contributor. I’ve been burned quite a few times by the Euro.
  15. Rhino16
    Is this realistic, or could it be overdoing it a bit?
  16. Rhino16
    Oops, I had that thing sorted by Winter (Dec-Feb), so anything that happened after that probably got omitted! My bad.
  17. Rhino16
    Didn’t happen in Richmond, but in Blacksburg probably September 10th. Thunderstorms dropped 4.4” of rain during a football game in a short time. I was not under the heaviest rain so probably got half that amount but the lightning was super active. Super lucky no one got struck, but it was way too close.

    The 14 years between the winters of 1947-1948 to 1961-1962 was the longest time without a 20+” snowfall winter. They were surprisingly common! This year will be the 14th year since the 2009-10 winter… Edit: this is incorrect as it only considers dec-feb, see RIC AIRPORT’s correct info below
  19. Rhino16
    Looks better! Hopefully at least something happens.

    I’m so glad school is throwing the GIS stuff at me because it can sometimes be fun, but it’s also useful in case meteorology doesn’t work out. (But it will.)
  21. Rhino16
    I agree It’s definitely the windiest of the day currently! As for the median, I don’t think they use the word median, but instead call it 50th percentile or something, if it helps.
  22. Rhino16
    If you have access to the median snowfall, can you post that too? It gives a better picture of the possibilities without the bigger members pushing the mean towards the max.
  23. Rhino16
    That line looks very active as it approaches. Lots of activity over SW VA.
  24. Rhino16
    Okay, I had that as an option. Thanks.
  25. Rhino16
    I hate to ask, but NS is probably the last abbreviation I haven’t figured out. What does it stand for?
