11” now. Goodness

And this was a half hour 45 min ago. I’m just super content w this storm lol. And it’s still pouring snow.

Pouring snow again here in Glen Allen, Va. Piling up nicely.

FCX radar has the southern version of the classic westminster death band going on. 

Bob quick question- I know we are in nowcasting mode but the 12z Euro showed  more additional snow by late tonight then what I thought we were going to see. Thoughts plz?

Alright I TOTALLY understand we are “in if” and nowcasting BUTj here’s the LATEST Euro (1pm) w additional snow after 1pm for this storm. Can this be right??  

4” at least here in Glen Allen. Heaviest bands so far about to roll through.

About a half hour ago. Been coming down to beat the band since. (Whatever that means lol)

Coming down good in Williamsburg. Everything is white except the roads, this is a lot more than I expected here, to be honest. I am not even under an advisory. 

Euro last 3 runs definitely showed enough that you should have had a WWA. 

On another note. Got folks texting me in Newport News saying I didn’t call for snow for them lol (I did for Williamsburg tho). Radar echos can be misleading as it is showing heavy rain there. Evaporational cooling with heavy precip I guess.

HRRR and RAP are  your best bets for short term monitoring of projected snow/sleet/rain lines.  Otherwise just monitor surface observations and duel polarizing radars. 

Ty! Makes sense 

Is there a “better” short term weather model that shows sleet/snow/ice differences well? Or is it all nowcasting now?

Alriight!! Let’s do this!

Light to moderate snow here in Glen Allen. Montpellier exit off of 295/Staples Mill Rd. This is awesome.

This is the type of storm Richmond would typically cash in on. They often miss out on storms that nail places just north. I hope the GFS is wrong. That would be pretty brutal. I was basically just parroting DT with the the Richmond 'snow hole' comment. I sincerely apologize to all the snow lovers in the Richmond vicinity. I meant no ill will. I am rooting for an over-performer for y'all. Good luck.

Lol!! I was just wondering. GFS against everything else??? I’ll take everything else haha.

Poor Richmond. Truly is a snow hole. Might see a couple inches though.

Sarcasm?

I’m sticking with my prediction from Thursday. 3-6 with some higher pockets. Final call (like anyone cares lol).

Well me might of been just jinxed .... Roads getting BRINE put down already

I can just about guarantee Asheville won’t see 18 inches. They only reached it in the 93 superstorm with a far more favorable setup. Just moved back to dc after living there for a couple years.  Downsloping always hurts there. The mountains around Asheville will get hammered 

So how much snow are you forecasting for Asheville?
