Since I didn't get snow last week is it so hard for the models to give some digital/fantasy snow with pretty colors on the maps?

From Facebook: New developments about XMAS even rain to snow threat for eastern US AND strong indications or most favorable winter storm upper air pattern showing for Mid atlantic Ohio valley New England regions on DEC 29-30 and JAN 2-3 that I have seen since Jan 1996 H.E.C.S.

^I would think the simplistic answer would be look at all the factors that have to go right to get a significant snow in the area and how easy it is for one of them to be mis-modeled. Sent from my motorola edge plus using Tapatalk

Is it too much to ask for a good old long duration overrunning event with a huge blob of moisture to the south and everyone scores?

20 minutes of sleet around 6am, 15 minutes of zr and then rain and more rain after that. 33 degrees, south of Lynchburg. Sent from my motorola edge plus using Tapatalk

This will likely be the Dolly Parton storm except for the far western and northern areas. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

That's one heck of an elevation...

I lived in Richmond for eight years and I know what you mean, especially 2010 coming from NOVA. Now I'm a little south of Lynchburg and it's pretty comparable to Richmond, just a little more elevation. Sent from my motorola edge plus using Tapatalk

Maybe I should have waited to post until after 12Z Euro, but nothing is set in stone. Sent from my motorola edge plus using Tapatalk

In a general sense that's more often right than not, but so far I would say more mix than rain for RVA. Sent from my motorola edge plus using Tapatalk

But for January 1996 at the 11pm news his forecast map was 1-2 feet area wide. I knew then it must be the real deal.

^Look at Gretna getting a mention. I'm just north of there in Altavista. Sent from my motorola edge plus using Tapatalk

Indeed. Sent from my motorola edge plus using Tapatalk

^^^What does it look like? Between Danville and Lynchburg still look good for 8+ inches?

We moved six months ago from Chesterfield to Altavista, just up 29 from you. I'm expecting little to nothing here. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

1, Feb. 1979 PD1--11 years old first really big snow I remember well-there was already a few inches on the ground before it began--out of school the whole week- 2. Jan. 1996--to have Bob Ryan (notoriously conservative) predict 2 feet of snow before it began, I knew it was going to be good--followed by a few more clippers to freshen up the snow pack 3. Feb. 2003--PD2--snow pack stayed for weeks 4. March 1993 Superstorm--sleet really cut down on accumulations in Arlington, but very powerful winds painful missing out on 2009 and 2010--in Richmond so it was very painful to get decent to good accumulations while NOVA/DC area got absolutely obliterated

I did too. My dog was none too happy.
