It is the ICON so there is that. However, we do not want to see it phase more and try to become a coastal. Will be a snow to sleet event for sure if that happens.

GFS 12z definitely coming in south...it looks like a couple runs ago

They gotta be panicking on the main thread lol. I don't trust the GFS at all at this far out and it's not just that I'm just making this up. If you go back and look at the last couple weeks I've been saying it. This winter season and last season, the European model has just absolutely crushed every other model and until that changes I will absolutely ride Euro-no matter what it does as we get towards the weekend.

Unfortunately, the GFS is a terrible model. It's still in its lost phase with this system. CMC is a lot better but it was way north yesterday. See what UK and Euro show

I just wish it was Thursday. 

I just can't stand the pit in my stomach where RVA, and Short Pump, are in the crosshairs this far out.  

Shoot, I am 55, I should not be worrying about this stuff, but weenieism knows no age limit.

I feel like the TV mets have been burned enough that they are tempering as well, Frieden "snow likely, major possible" same Zach D and Matty D., very careful in their messaging.

Going to be a long week of tracking. A lot can change between now and Saturday. I would be cautious too. We don't get snow events like this much anymore.

We go over to sleet on the Southside towards the end according to the 18z GFS. Still a nice front thump! 

And then another burst of snow as the low departs so this run would be a crunchy mess by the end!

GFS continues to be all over the place 

I really think the European model had to have a little discussion with the GFS if you know what I mean. So now it came into line this time it needs to continue to come into line with King euro lol

I think this stays as all snow  for  RIC 20+. For here  in south Newport  News an ORF this reminds  me  of the 2nd storm in late  Jan 1966. That was an amazing  2 week period. Storm 1 happened around  25jan and  i got a foot with thundersnow. 4 days  later storm 2 came along and  it started as heavy  snow, went to sleet and  changed  back to snow.
