Agreed. I remember lots of 70 degrees growing up in Hampton Roads with rain to snow from a frontal passage, but never this drastic. Pretty cool.

Rain/sleet/snow in Midlothian and just had lightning/thunder! Heck of a change from yesterday.

Bring on spring! Looking forward to the warmup!

Rain storms are legit too! Last July was pretty epic IMBY. Got over 12” for the month and 4.40” on one day alone. I regret not posting much outside of winter but will do for sure. Like that this board is getting good traction these days.

Sticking to grassy surfaces…officially a trace of snow. If only it was colder, started earlier, and we were in Siberia.

Big fatty flakes mixing in here 23235

Correct. If NAM is correct I’m stoked to get warning/level snow out of this!

It’s a reference to the last snow storm that NC got. Raleigh was modeled to get hit pretty good, but they got fringed on both the ULL snow and the coastal. Think they still ended up with several inches, but east and west got it much better.

Don’t tease with Jan 2016 day 2! That band feeding central VA was glorious…both on radar and just watching it fall. Verbatim, the evolution here does look similar and we need to hope for that closer to the coast low placement. But yea, regardless of what actually accumulates, it would be great to see it.

Flurries here. Nice sized flakes. If this keeps up for 365 days we might scrape 0.5 inches out of it.

I couldn’t believe it’s still showing those crazy snow amounts this afternoon. 8 members for RIC in the 17-26” range….bitch please! Like you said, def entertainment value. I will say I refer to it for non-winter storms to get an idea for its qpf depiction. For straight rain storms, I feel like it’s usually in the ballpark.

The extra 4 hours are devoted to making all the incomprehensible intersecting lines on his forecast maps.

We’ve had multiple accumulating snows here this (meteorological) winter. Parts of the RIC metro are just about at average for our climate. We’ve had more than one season of being shut out or close to it in the last 10 years. The “big dog” snows just keep getting rarer. We do have ways to win with them, but I think this winter shows what our expectations should be.

I’m intrigued to see this evolve today! One thing is for sure…whoever is just to the north of the cutoff is going to be screaming at the radar returns to no avail. That actually might be us in RIC lol but we’ll see.

Still mostly sleet here, but starting to see some glaze accretion on mailboxes and shrubs.
