A southward shift on the 18z Euro vs 12z below.

Euro has shifted north from earlier runs for the Friday and Saturday systems. 12z vs 6z bottom 2 maps below

12z GFS still favoring a southern track, with the heaviest snows staying south of Chicago.

The final storm total for RIC was 4.0".

The Varina COOP observer updated their total as of 8pm to 3.5" and there could be another tenth or two added based on the radar trends. Looks like they may be using that observer for the Richmond airport, @JB Fins.

Beautiful home! Snow changes everything especially with Christmas decorations up.

3.0” through 5pm at RIC, not too sure there will be much more than this based on radar. Lots of 4-6” reports just south and east of the airport.

Officially 3.0” at RIC, but I’ve seen quite a few reports of 5.0” south and east.

Nice heavier ban moving towards RIC from Farmville so things could pick up soon.

Latest HRRR, fwiw.

Rooting for you all from Chicago. Plenty here to share, we've had the snowiest start to winter since 1978 and even more on the way. Happy to see my first winter here going well.
