We should move our official reporting to somewhere else.

RIC reported a 2" snow depth at the 7 am ob, so by that point at least 1.5" had fallen. CLI won't come out until around 5:30, although it's possible AKQ sends a PNS with a total before then. The daily snowfall record is 4.2" from the 12/5/2002 snowstorm, so that remains safe. Earlier, when I mentioned breaking the record, I unfortunately used 12/6 instead of 12/5. Nonetheless, not bad for early December.

Actually, RIC_Airport, who I think moved to Chicago and kept our little subforum going for a while, spearheaded them moving it.  It's far more accurate now.  The debacle of 1996, I think was the catalyst, but other events were so far off.

Happy for everyone that got something! ORF had a few OBS of Unknown Precip early this morning, but I didn't even bother waking up to try to see anything. It's all just been a cold rain this morning. On to the next one, whenever it may be!

Hey, this is me, just under a different name. I wish I had that sort of power, but there was some discussion years ago to use a nearby COOP station "for" the airport, but it had to be within 5 miles of the airport. The Varina COOP station was being used for some reports, such as the 12/9/2018 storm, but last I checked, that station had closed down, and they were looking for another nearby observer. I'm not sure what is happening now. 

I don't mind chiming in here from time to time. I'm glad I was able to share some snow and cold. We had a big snow here last Saturday, so I've been posting in the forum covering this area. 2.0" on 12/5 is a good start for the winter, and RIC is long overdue for a 20"+ season, so maybe this is it? There are two more threats for you all that need to be watched for Monday and possibly next Friday. Below ICON for the possible Monday event and then today's 12z Euro showing next Friday's threat.

18z GFS hot off the press also suggest to keep an eye out on Monday.
