Still going back and forth on the snow /rain line here.(Richmond area). Guess nobody has any faith around here huh? Can say I blame you all...

prob wont happen like this, but last shot at snow for the season for the Richmond Area most likely on the 11th/12th timeframe...

I said this last night.... I def can see it happen.. really depends how fast it moves.. but with the sun setting now def a good chance to add up quick down there.. Also getting a little light burst again out here in the west end... still only about 2 here tho

the vcu ram cam looks about the same amount then here where I am (not much) the borderline temps with the salt def making a difference with this light snow... https://ramcam.vcu.edu/ Down to flurry at the moment here in VA COMMONS (1:49pm) radar really showing the drop off in rates/coverage area the past hour def seems to be transferring out to the coast... http://www.intellicast.com/Local/WxMap.aspx

wind seems to picking up a tad... but no real change in snow totals out here at VA center commons .. still the very light snow... id say maybe 1 1/2 -2 inches maybe..

wow... im at virginia center commons and barely over an inch here... Been snowing very lightly for the past 2 hours... Too light to add up on anywhere but the grass and trees/car tops at the moment... cars flying by nicely on 295

ha ha.. I was actually thinking now that the southern/ beach area's are going to do better then here.. But who knows...

def going to be close here in the Richmond area... Im keeping an eye down in the Knoxville TN area... If the precip can keep pushing around Knoxville thats a good sign for this area....

I don’t know.. For schools it’s been a bit above average I’m sure... The last storm my kids where out 4 days... for a 2 inch storm.... (and that was also with a weekend involved)... With the nice cold spell we had .. I can’t say this winter has been too bad around here.. (yeah the snow TOTAL hasn't been great ) But It’s been awhile since you could almost fully walk on the old ice pond.... ha

http://www.intellicast.com/Local/WxMap.aspx?basemap=0014&layers=0040,0039,0017 you can already see the system breaking up a bit and why certain areas could get the shaft

He is just reading the models like most people... He does a decent job but, it’s not like he is predicting these storms out of a crystal ball... like some people think. If He was that good.. then he would only have (ONE prediction/forecast) Again, Like most storms around here it’s all going to come down to the dry air & if we get lucky or not with the heavy bands... Hence then 1-4 or 4-7 predictions.

Yeah in these kind of storms Knoxville TN is always a good place to compare to this area.... But its all going to come down the dry air and where the heavy bands set up... gonna be close for sure...

street/Car/deck dusting.. light/steady snow.. Glen Allen 295 staples mill

Got some flakes now out here in Glen Allen VA....... Very, very... very light flakes at the moment that is

Kinda surprised by that... Dry air is always hard to beat around here.... Live cams from VCU below.... https://ramcam.vcu.edu/ https://ramcam.vcu.edu/ica.html

Well its finally cloudy out here in the West End Richmond... So that's the first step! HA

Yeah this is usually the time when the D.C. folk are complaining about not getting the big fantasy storm that was modeled "the week before" and start to give up all hope. For the Richmond area, I believe we are still in a good spot at this time.. I don't think we are going to get the 1,2 hit that was forecast earlier but the 2nd wave around the 29th is what we need to keep an eye out on and could turn out to be a decent snowfall for the area.. I rather have one decent hit then snow/sleet/rain/ snow anyways.. we shall see but definitely not time to give up yet..

It happens almost every storm here even when it's cold the dry air seems to win out ha.. hard to get a perfect storm here... For this early in the season I'll take it.. Too bad the energy coming down from the lakes didn't happen a little sooner.. could of really helped intensify everything .. Will help a little here at the end .. owell

Not really a bust..the real cold air just never made it here. But if u wanna say we could of got 9 and ended up with 1-4 in most of the area that's true .. Most places should see a nice burst of snow right before this storm ends and around the start of the army /navy game... That should be fun to watch...

About 3.5 here in glen allen coming down steady now but dry air coming in from the west so we will see if it makes it here

Watch the airport will prob still only report officially to have 1 to 2 inches total snowfall... While across the street will have 6 ha (of course in this storm the decent snow to no snow may not be that far from each other)
