The fantasy maps? On one or two model runs? Comon now, let’s be real …lol 0 to 3 inches has been consistent for awhile now on almost all of the models (for this area) Expecting anything more then this with this storm is wish-casting …. (I wish this would happen myself) This afternoon could still bring an inch or two or nothing… YET AGAIN lol

4-6 lol? Where are you ? This was never predicted to be that kind of storm in the Richmond area…

I wouldn’t expect any real accumulating snow in the Richmond area until this afternoon… Definitely going to be a sharp cutoff & will be hard to predict what the final totals will be depending where the heaviest banding sets up.. Could be a real difference in just a few miles of a couple inches to nothing at all .. Radar at the moment looks pretty crappy (dry air not helping)but the main precip isn’t due till later this afternoon.. Hopefully it can get itself together by then and not warm up (just enough) to be rain or mix at that time.. That will be the key if we get a couple inches or nothing at all in this area… Definitely will be a sharp cutoff.

dry air galore

Looking like ice could be a problem on Tuesday.. I’d expect school & work closings looks like this maybe starting Monday afternoon/night going from snow& rain back to freezing rain back to snow as it’s pulling away.. What area exactly get dry slotted & how the waves come together or not is going to be key .. More development off the coast could actually mean less snow / ice more rain in this area

I STILL wouldn’t write of the early week storm just yet.. The precip in Oregon looks pretty decent . yes, I know it’s expected to die out a bit when it comes across the central US but it looks pretty impressive at the moment. Our luck this thing with get its self together enough to dry slot us and then bomb out farther up the coast.. Watch! Lol

Not what I’m saying.. I just don’t know why some are jumping right past todays and Tuesdays storms like they don’t matter .. It is what is going to set up everything & add up to get to the final totals.. Hell it’s far from certain that we will get any accumulating snows out of this So, the “mean totals” really don’t matter until these storms pass..

Don’t get the reason why people keep posting totals for multiple storms that haven’t even happened yet… I can understand the overall totals but hell Tuesdays storm is what needs to set up everything first & really is our best shot for a decent snow that we had around here in years..

On the brink of a decent storm but a slight movement either way could make a big difference…I’m still waiting to see the outputs after tomorrow storm passes..

Anything over a week is just fantasy land to me .. (hell 3 days at most ( Really for me) lol The cold air still being there is what gets the ball rolling for any snow storm…At least that is looking better at the moment. let’s see how the Monday/Tuesday storm does before we jump past it.

Been looking at this timeframe for awhile now…guessing after Friday’s storm clears the models will come in more of an agreement… It dosnt look like anything major but looks like it will break the streak of no Accumulating snow in this area.. Hopefully we can get it come through overnight.. wouldn’t mind a little more south trend at this point too…

This event is far from over the rain maybe but not the wind.. Pretty sure I just had the highest gust yet come through and knocked out my power for the first time for a few minutes… schools already calling off for tomorrow… Next week is starting to look interesting starting on Mlk day/night

Right now its just not cold enough to have anything last for more then a few hours around here... We may get lucky over the weekend & get a quick dusting( only to have it washed away)but most likely it wont even turn over long enough to do even that ..... The 15th-20th looks to be at least cold enough air for something to happen... So we will see....

I be willing to bet it turns back into a hurricane at some point even if short lived… once it gets off the coast..

The surge and flooding is going to be the real story of this storm for a larger area then the wind … Even when it gets up to SC https://waterdata.usgs.gov/fl/nwis/rt https://waterdata.usgs.gov/sc/nwis/rt https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationhome.html?id=8727520 https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/map/index.html?region=Florida wouldn't doubt that some of the outer bands make it into SE VA …defiantly a few quick spin up tornados will be around most of the day with the outer bands as well....

can defiantly see the overall size starting to increase.. means more precip in a wider area .. especially down the road

Most storms this season haven't missed. It's just been just been too damn warm

Yeah, another storm where it will be very warm just hours before the storm.. We will see what happens. But hopefully don't lose the precip again before the temp drops.. Probably won't know know exactly what will happen untill Sat evening lol

A little bonus streaker dropping in for some of us , for the next hour

What radar are you exactly looking at that dosnt show the light snow on it? Looks like the 2nd band southwest of us is drying out so who knows if we will get anything else in this area after this first batch comes to an end

Doubt it will last much past 3am here. We are back to the light/barely accumulating snow here for now. Looks like we will have a break for a bit, then hopefully we can avoid the dry air and get the 2nd batch to fill in coming up from the southwest part of the state if it doesn't die out. Prob about 1/2 to an inch here in Glen Allen

Back to Moderate snow here in Glen Allen prob getting close to an 1/2 lol

The heavy Bands make all the difference for sure.. hopefully we can hit another one b4 the storm heads out and the dry air moves in

Yep, looks like we hit a nice band, roads starting to get covered here in Glen Allen .. band seems to be moving east into RIC, so back to light /smaller flakes for the moment here
