JB Fins Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Still time for that WSW to spread a little...how many times have we seen it go the opposite way. The DC and MD folks are down right giddy. Hoping we can get in on a little bit of the fun and maybe the cold air will swing in before the bulk of the precip is done but my wife says I am too positive anyway.

VTwx Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The QPF was essentially cut in half for RIC from the 12z NAM. How are temps looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Looks like we are screwed down here. Can't say I'm not surprised though. Congrats weathervswife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanVA Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Anyone want to bet against Huntsville, AL getting more than RIC? * ACCUMULATIONS: TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF TWO TO FOUR INCHES. THE HIGHER SNOW AMOUNTS WILL GENERALLY BE NORTH OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER AND OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokierulz98 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 We might still get in on the good snows i.e. 4+ in RIC especially north side. It's gonna be close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 This is going to be very close folks. The 850 and 700mb maps look nice for us but I'm not so sure about the surface map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 At >.5/h rates we should be good EDIT: we are below freezing at the surface Omegas look nice on the 700mb map during the time when the 0c line is moving offshore but I'm not sure I like the 2m temps. For example, some hr 30 maps: Snowing at 850mb Nice 700mb map with -10 omega right over us Surface temps are questionable though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 This is all accumulating snow without question but the precip is negligible: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMU2004 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 usually surface temps can be overcome by heavy precip...especially THAT close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolineWx Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 18 GFS MOS temps keeps RIC in the upper 30s during the snow, but MOS been running high lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathervswife Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 FWIW, I love AkQ. I really, really expected to be shafted with Albemarle having a WSW and me having nothing, but AKQ threwh me a WSW and actually has more accumulation on the zone forecast than Sterling. Props. I'll change my avatar shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Druff Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Kevin Jeanes' hour by hour and his summary had a massive disconnect. He told us to expect 2-4" N&W of town, but not one of the simulation graphics had snow in it. *facepalm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 15 minutes from Charlottesville and a sushi/hibachi grill just opened up at the Lake...1 minute from my house. Why the hate? I had sushi tonight btw. We are CHO's bedroom community. Also, Fluvanna just went up to 3-5" and CHO 3-7" per NWS. Wait, I see why the hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmondsnow Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Not that the NAM really matters at this point, but it looks cold and wet (.5 inch qpf) which looks to be all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inudaw Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Doubt it. I really think the band will set up to far to our north. Result could be the dreaded dry slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmondsnow Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 If only we could get the 12z NAM's qpf output: 1.25-1.5 inches! That would give metro Richmond roughly 8-12 inches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
