I wouldn’t be surprised if this ended up as 4” otg in my yard after rain/sleet/compaction etc. I’m probably in the worst place possible moreso than Richmond even.
edit: Don’t forget to have a laugh at the temperature plots for after the storm on the GFS.
tossing some numbers out: hopefully not too late! I keep saying I’ll be consistent but maybe for real this time!
DCA _ NYC _ BOS _ ORD _ ATL _ IAH _ DEN _ PHX _ SEA
3.0 _ 2.3 _ 1.5 _ -0.2 _ 3.5 _ 3.5 _ -0.4 _ -0.9 _ 1.5
I’m a little further south right now. Some of the ndfd grids up there have 70mph gust speeds. I’m excited to have a few days of real winter after mid 40s and fog all week.
Richmond is still on the lower side, but there’s so many options still in guidance. We’ll see what solution they converge to. It’s insane how far southern Virginia has been the place to be recently.
I think you’ll enjoy synoptic too! It isn’t really my thing so writing posts like yours is difficult. It makes sense in my head, but getting it onto paper isn’t something I’m good at. I look forward to more of your writing!
