Rain/Snow mix in Chesapeake, VA - 38.2/28.6

First sprinkles in Chesapeake, VA. Went from 43.9/24.4 to 39.4/27.8 in the last hour. More than 3 degrees of that drop came in only 30 minutes.

Reporting heavy virga here in Chesapeake, VA. 44/24.

w00t. Never deny the NW trend. :-D

Nice map...but may be a little early for a final call.

Agreed - 2-4" on everything and frozen streets make for a more exciting event than 6" on the grass and 2" of slop everywhere else. Either way schools will be cancelled and most will stay home from work. Can't beat a Friday snow day!

This map is horrid. If they aren't going to accurately forecast the whole state, they should only forecast the counties they are concerned about.

Every event is so different that you can't really lean on an analog. Hampton roads is a bit north of the main action, but it looks like a decent 2-4" event. The overall impact should be just as significant as areas to the south that receive greater snowfall since temperatures will be colder and there will be accumulation on road surfaces.

Don't be a weenie grasping for straws. Being in the bulls eye will make any of us excited, but the model depiction of the bulls eye and the actual bulls eye are always in two different places. In my experience from most of my life being in upstate NY, the heaviest snow totals are almost always to the NW of what is modeled. In this case, they are probably more to the N/NE because this far south, and at this point in the year, whether the precipitation falls during daylight hours makes a huge difference. If I had to be anywhere during this event, far NE North Carolina would be my choice. Elizabeth City FTW.

Welcome, from Chesapeake, VA. At this point in time I'm very happy to see the bulls eye 100-200 miles to my south. :-)
