Kevin Druff Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 3" here at CHO. LWX bumped up the overnight forecast to "Heavy Snow," which, although somewhat meaningless, is nonetheless gratifying.

SeVa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 1.75" down here. Does anyone know why we are getting this pixie dust and not ripping dendrites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeVa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I think you are hallucinating, still looks good to me I wish I was hallucinating. Look at the CC here: http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=AKQ-N0C-0-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBsurf Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 1.75" in Virginia Beach as of 815. No sleet yet! Just amazing how much moisture is pointed in our direction. Realistically 10-12hrs more of precip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 soo who's going to be the first news cast to cut down the totals.. looks like some moisture is being robbed by all the energy/ storms down there back edge starting to look kinda raged too... Still a few nice hours of steady snow left either way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodie77 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 soo who's going to be the first news cast to cut down the totals.. looks like some moisture is being robbed by all the energy/ storms down there..I'm not too worried yet. The energy transfer to the coastal is underway. A lot of models picked up on a gap in heavier precip. This has been the concern for those north and west for a while now. A lot of short range models have shown a sizeable dry slot over the past few runs setting up in the Shenandoah Valley area.All that said, I always though 6-8 was a good goal for us. I hope I'm wrong and we're ripping dendrites at 2AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah 6-8 is still huge for this area.. Just shows how hard it is to get 10++ in this area even when almost everything is in place to get there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodie77 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This image captures what we need to happen for double digits. In the wee hours of the morning, notice how the orientation of the precip field changes from west-east to more SW-NE. This is the low off the coast doing its thing. This is when we should really cash in. On the other hand, I could just stop worrying about it and enjoy our first legit storm in five years haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I know right... Could happen I could see places closer to the coast getting closer to that total if no mixing happens... We really haven't gotten into any heavy steady snow yet out here in the West End most likely because of that pesky cold dry air. ABOUT 3.2 HERE SO FAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeVa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Each run of the HRRR is less and less aggressive with snow-sleet line. If trends keep up we (northern southside) may flip to sleet for only 2-3hrs. Might be wishful thinking, but the trend is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fodie77 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 3.5" at 9pm. Looks amazing outside. For fun I've been using the 22Z HRRR as a reference point. (That's the first model run in which it started snowing for us in real time) That model had RIC at 3" at 9pm, so I think we're still on track. It also had RIC getting to 10" when all was set and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If trends keep up we (northern southside) may flip to sleet for only 2-3hrs. Might be wishful thinking, but the trend is there. I'm also hugging the HRRR. I'm thinking mainly sleet from 2-6 for most of the south side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miller.b.time Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Anyone have any sense of what happens after that incoming dryslot that's approaching CHO? Is it expected to fill in, or are we doneso? (This is a total weenie question, I realize. Mea culpa.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what we should have coming our way over the next few hours. I'd love to hear from some SWVA peeps about what rates they're getting.

miller.b.time Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 LWX just upgraded the point forecast for Albemarle Co to 8-12"? They must be seeing something I'm not, haha. At any rate, hope everyone south of us is cashing in big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesin2011 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Would be nice to see some heavy precip move in.. Like I said really hasnt yet hopefully that area near the mountains can fill back in...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCoWx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, there were a few burst in downtown RVA on Broad that looked more like dendrites...now back to a heavy powder. Looking at the radar, everyone's saying that all is going to planned, but that big dry slot over Charlottesville inching ever so closely to RVA is starting to make me freak out a little.

crainjd Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Don Slater saying we go over to sleet on south side between 12-1. In house model shows from freezing rain too, which I'm hoping is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBsurf Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 2.75" at 1015 Virginia Beach. Seems like I have a touch of sleet mixing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman23601 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Getting hammered in Newport News since 3:00. Already at the forecasted 4-6 inches with 13 hours to go. If the sleet stays South, this might be the sweet spot. Sent from my SCH-I535 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcwahoo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Radar looks beautiful heading right at Metro Richmond, and it's really filling in back towards Roanoke area which is a great sign for overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
