It will be interesting to see where warnings and advisories are posted. I'm on the northern edge in Mechanicsville, trying to advise our pastor about Sunday morning services. I sent her the AKQ briefing from this morning. We will chat again tomorrow afternoon after the 3:30 AKQ update.
Of course I wanted a foot of snow, but I'm trying to appreciate the relative rarity of the sleet bomb.
I'd prefer no heavy accretion of ice, but there's one silver lining. The snow was so dry that the trees are holding little or no snow for the ice to build on. Heavy wet snow followed by ice would be far more likely to break more trees. That is not the case so far today.
Last winter had multiple events when RIC was heavier than DCA and IAD. Final totals for the season:
BWI: 15.4"
DCA: 7.8"
IAD: 11.9"
RIC: 12.4"
Our primary events for Henrico County were on 12/8/17, 1/4/18, 1/17/18, 3/12/18, and 3/21/18
Fortunately roads were not frozen. I drove to work (Hanover County to Nine Mile Rd) through moderate to heavy snow. We decided early to plow ahead and open Henrico schools on time. Some west end buses slowed down a bit during the height of the precip, but there were very few delays all told.
