FWIW 12z Euro has more qpf for snow. And looks like wants to have more than 2” total and if you’re in the “dark blue” even more. So add that to the NAM 3k and to a point latest GFS

32° now close to heavy snow! Mulch and grass is starting to whiten up. Off of exit 51a 295 Nuckols Rd.

Moderate snow now. Not sticking on anything though. White rain.

Temp down to 34 deg here in Tuckahoe (NW of Richmond proper). Mix of sn/rn

doubtfull with the temps where they are at unless this really slows down or we get a real heavy burst ...  maybe we can get enough for a nice picture of snow on the grass/tree areas...

So painfully close.....

Well fwiw HRRR not even close so far ...so that’s not a good model to lean on today lol. But yeah probably grass etc

Some white rain looking to push into the area...

Late for models but 3k NAM gives RVA 1-2” later today

I see different Kuchera snowfall amounts for the 12z GFS at pivotalweather: http://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=gfs&p=snku_acc&rh=2018031012&fh=66&r=us_ma&dpdt=

You are correct -still good numbers. Thoughts on upcoming potential?

12z gfs Kuchera

Where you at RVA’ers?  12z runs looking snowy! 

0z NAM makes little sense to me. But expected NAM hiccups anyway.

18z GFS is a Richmond north and west storm.        CHO to Fredricksburgh up into south eastern Maryland and DE.  

Yes- A good spread overall for RVA. Need it to get rolling AFTER the sun goes down Sunday.

18z NAM Kuchera shows same snow amounts for RVA as 12z. It also expanded heavier snow a little northward and quite a bit eastward.

12z NAM just now. Way early for NAM probably but gives an idea. This is Kuchera scale not 10:1 so more realistic. Would be a nice hit in RVA

Western edge seems to have pulled east a good bit looking at the radar. It’s snowing pretty good in Richmond, though. Hopefully it’ll continue.

I had the same thought but look af the last two returns on the radar and I’ll see a push back westerly is occurring. Here we go!

street/Car/deck dusting.. light/steady snow.. Glen Allen 295 staples mill

This! We must be neighbors lol. I live off of Staples Mill at Montpellier a couple miles from there the Wawa and Bojangles are on Staples Mill. And go Eagles!! 

Nam and 3k Nam at 0z really ramped up totals here in Richmond area. We shall see
