Unreal this is on multiple models for next weekend and it's not in fantasy land as far as days out!

GFS is just as good for RVA as last run. Even a little better.

Sorry off the topic here High Risk but since you're a met maybe you can help. Why do you think Wakefield is using such strong verbiage about concern with an ice storm for Richmond then? Are they basing it solely on the Euro? In this area many businesses and obviously hospitals etc. etc. are making some difficult decisions, grocery stores have been ransacked with everything bought off the shelves in cases, because we keep being told that we are going to have a massive ice storm, and that it's not possible but actually probable most of the area loses power. Because let's face a few inches of snow here and then sleet that is not a big deal at all.

Still showing the freezing rain but different people are saying that freezing rain could be sleet and that the European model doesn't do a good job with the differential. Let's hope so

Thank you and I really hope that's what happens!

Thank you -does the European model continue to show freezing rain for central Virginia? Obviously we are hoping for sleet.

Maps? Please and thank you.

Is this all from the one storm or is it combined with what will fall this weekend?

European model was Southeast -European ensembles were…obviously the Ukie... even the CMC was more southeast even though it brings still mostly mixing.

It would be ideal -double digit snow and then sleet to end. Perfect -give us that -call it a day

6z Euro ensembles well over a foot of snow.

Face it we're all gonna get invested lol!!

Yep-Needs til Saturday evening to be in its wheelhouse

Ukie, AIFS, GFS in our snow corner lol. At least there's a few.

It's actually had a good verification score from things I was reading in the main thread. Always easier to be negative than positive but I still don't think a final solution has been settled. Still 72 hours out.

And of course the 18Z GFS is pretty much all snow lol. Nobody knows what's gonna happen

And he just released it today it's not like it was from yesterday

I'm reading this wrong?-it looks like he has RVA in "A"

Central Va/RVA also could have real issues with freezing rain too no?

Also for those who can't get a generator/don't currently have one. Make sure vehicles are filled with fuel/charged, so can stay warm in vehicles with extreme cold.

Not a weenie statement but very real. The only NAM worth anything is 3K within 36 hours of an event.

Let's let the next 96 HOURS play out! Lol 36 hours ago people were ringing their hands about suppression!

Verbatim GFS is still double digit snow then some sleet pm Sunday. So what? It's still an every 10 -15 year event in RVA. 2M temps never get above 20°. This is gonna be fun. And remember-Euro still rules and all the AI's have been terrific!

Temps never get out above 20° Sunday in RVA. Sleet late or not, this is going to be amazing!
