Richmond Metro/Hampton Roads Area Discussion
migratingwx replied to RIC Airport's topic in Mid Atlantic
Looks like RIC is at 11.0” for the season. Last year’s total was 11.7” Also, at least 1” of snow (including sleet) has been on the ground for 13 straight days in Richmond. This is the longest stretch of snowcover 1” or more since the 2009-10 winter. With this weekend’s cold, it’s likely this will increase to at least 15 days, which means it could be the longest stretch since 1982. -

The preliminary CLI did not include this afternoon's snowfall, but the final will be sent around 1:30am. AKQbot has been periodically sending snow reports, so there is a chance we could see it before then. The 7 pm snow depth at RIC was 2", but at least 1" of that was already on the ground as of this morning from the past snow event. My guess is it will be around 10 or 11". -

I said most of the available data. -

Quite possible it can expand west, but when they say impactful could still be a 1-3" snowfall depending on how you look at it. It does not mean suddenly RIC is getting 8-12" given most of the available data, which of course is constantly changing. -

I wouldn't take that so literally for RIC. We have access to the same data they do and can generally agree that RIC will be on the lower end of accumulations, hence the reason why AKQ downgraded the watch to an advisory for 1-3", which I think it a good call. -

The problem is, it lags a cycle or so behind so it's using old data and still catching up. The 00z run should have lower totals around RIC based on trends. -

I disagree. Richmond's snow climate is quite different from Raleigh's, which is what this board is primarily concerned about and what drives the most traffic here. And yes, there are distinct differences from Hampton Roads, but we already addressed the justification for lumping both metros together into a single thread. Let's not give credence to the Mid-Atlantic posters who already claim this part of the state is the "tropics". -

@JB Finsis correct. There were not enough active (or at least enough willing to consistently post) to have separate threads. Recognizing the climate differences, I still felt it was fitting since everyone was in the same CWA under NWS Wakefield. They used to have a couple of members' posts years back. Also, social media has drawn many participants away from this board. I'll continue to post here, but I may not be as active as I used to be since I'm now in Chicago (and obviously under a new name). -

Good luck, hope you see blizzard conditions. -

This proves again, never put faith in the GFS. While every model wobbled, including the Euro, the GFS was by far the outlier and responsible for getting everyone reeled in. If the Euro isn't on board, don't get your hopes up outside of 48hours. -

Considering the 18Z suite is still running probably not. Those maps are usually based on NBM probability I believe. -

Lately, the only place that seems to get over 6" without any mixing is ORF.
