"Schools out for summer

Schools out for ever"

But seriously 30 inches just isn't going to happen....29 inches we may have a shot at but no way where getting to 30....haha❄

Looks like the timeframe for the arival here of the snow is going to be moved up a bit .. Hopefully it will add up quickly B4 any kind of mix or dry air that may move in...

Snow already in Blacksburg VA ..This thing is definitely coming in early be prepared to have it accumulate quick...Looking at the radar I'd say we are going to have to battle with the dry air in this storm more then then mixing in my part of Glen Allen VA but will see if this changes when it transfers over to the coast...

I was in NY for the 2010 Boxing Day Blizzard, last time I experienced insane rates with 12+ on the ground. There is nothing like it. Hopefully that mixing line and dry slot stays away. Radar looks great, intense looking band to our south and the mixing line being held at the NC border so far.

Last night felt like Christmas Eve and today like Christmas Morning...except the fact I had to come to work.  The anticipation of a blockbuster snowstorm in the RIC, it's exciting and makes us all feel younger...to quote George Costanza..."I think it moved"

no doubt, hit 22 last night everything is frozen and ready for stickage

Couldn't get a more perfect lead in, clear conditions overnight, airport hit 21, clouds roll in at sunrise with precipitation not far behind. That's textbook. Biggest question for me in this storm: Does RIC break the 33 year "1 foot snow" drought? Any thoughts from the board? I'm going positive here: I think, some how, some way, they get it done.

So NWS still thinks we go to all rain around the city? I can easily see sleet or freezing rain, and I expect that, but rain?

 

I'm not sure what model this is, but Mike works works at WSI... 

 

 

A large area of folks in the mid-Atlantic will likely see an abundance of freezing rain. Watch out for power outages https://t.co/kO1qcXFh5n

4K NAM on main discussion board shows a 24 inch accumulation in Powhatan, drives double digit accums well south and east of Richmond and into a lot of NC too. I mention this because the NAM has been the one model looking the warmest here. Nice change to see.

A caveat here: those NAM maps don't parse out IP/SN ... it was 6-8" of SN followed by 1.2"QPF of IP ...
