  1. I like the West to East trajectory of this band for Central VA. It's not super heavy - but accumulating nicely. 1.3" in Lynchburg.
  2. Just measured 0.75" in Lynchburg. Steady light/moderate snow with decent size flakes.
  3. After a couple hours of virga and flurries, light snow has begun in Lynchburg.
  4. Webcams from SW/Southside VA: https://www.wsls.com/weather/skycams/ Snow already accumulating in Martinsville and Blacksburg.
  5. Purely anecdotal, but ... my fiancée says it's snowing lightly in Winston-Salem, NC. Was supposed to be all rain for them.
  6. Initial wave of precipitation looks heavier and further south than modeled - moving due west to east. From a Roanoke/Lynchburg page:
  7. RNK's map had you starting at 3-5 and me at 5-7. Looks like precip is moving in more quickly than anticipated.
  8. 37/7 in Lynchburg. Clouds thickening to the West.
  9. Huge divergence between NAM and HRRR QPF for Central VA. NAM cut QPF in half versus its last run.
  10. RGEM ticks to the south and bumps up QPF - 11.1" at RIC on Kuchera. It's a tight gradient just south of there though.
  11. NAM was showing basically nothing 24 hours ago, right? Also, from what I've heard it tends to have a north bias. I think it's an improvement and definitely better than where we thought it be going a couple of days ago. 2-4" with some sleet and ZR will stick around a while with the advertised temperatures. I got 4" with the second Jan 2022 storm, including an inch of sleet, and it stuck around for two weeks with warmer temperatures than what we are seeing on models.
  12. Jan 2019 seems the closest, at least that I can think of. https://www.stmweather.com/blog/current-events/winter-storm-january-11-13-2019
  13. I was in Fredericksburg for Jan 2022 and got 15". Other than that, the only 10"+ storm I remember clearly is the 2016 blizzard. I have very vague glimpses of the 2009-2010 winter despite being 7 years old then, because I was a weather nerd, my parents got me a 3-year weather observation book for my 7th birthday
  14. CMC is a step in the right direction as well. Confluence further south. Snow jackpot and QPF max now over Fredericksburg, not DC. Verbatim, not exactly what we want in Central VA, but it's an improvement - the 6" line is roughly from Charlottesville to Hanover County. I'm liking these trends.
  15. GFS went slightly south. Not exactly where we want it - but an appreciable shift.
  16. FWIW ... map from local Lynchburg TV meteorologists
  17. The GFS does not cave. Going to be virtually identical to 12z. Also significantly drier than other models.
  18. On the other hand, the RGEM looks like a *slight* step back, but basically unchanged (mostly sleet/ice with 1-3" in Central VA). It's a DC/NoVA jackpot with the 6" line near Fredericksburg
  19. ICON is a significant improvement and gives Richmond area some snow from the Coastal as well.
  20. NAM isn't great, but an improvement. It brings some snow into Central VA, but still mostly sleet/ZR. Hoping it's overamplified as I've heard its bias is.
  21. Just got a nice squall in Lynchburg - quick coating on grass and car tops. Not in the forecast from NWS or commercial sites.
