More of a fine mix almost small sleet now 295/shortpump prob 2 to 2.5,inches currently Yep. I can hear the pinging outside the window. Not even gonna get out of bed to see what’s going on. At least you got some accumulation! I checked the 511 cam near Brandermill just to get an idea and it looks paltry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralVaGirl Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Shoot. I was hoping for 3-4" of snow to get my shovel under the ice. Looks like maybe an inch. Tuckahoe, west Richmond. Sounds like mostly sleet right now. Hoping that holds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overcautionisbad Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Storm seems a lote more dry than predicted. I'm actually not surprised tiven the surface temps. When it is this cold here it is hard to get moisture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Fins Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Yeah, I would guess plows hard to get it all. Anybody know what the peak snow measurement was before changeover? Maybe 2” like others, was hoping for more. HR crew, over to freezing rain yet? Everybody have power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasnow215 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago And then arctic freeze for the rest of the week just brutal starting late tomorrow.

JB Fins Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Yeah, just moving the generator over to a more covered spot and this stuff is not easy to walk in. I could only imagine driving in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conway7305 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago anyone know the total ice forecast later today or has that been lowered. Hopefully so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowzone Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Of course I wanted a foot of snow, but I'm trying to appreciate the relative rarity of the sleet bomb. I'd prefer no heavy accretion of ice, but there's one silver lining. The snow was so dry that the trees are holding little or no snow for the ice to build on. Heavy wet snow followed by ice would be far more likely to break more trees. That is not the case so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
