Things always trend North right?

Just like nws said ratios will be crazy like 15-1 and 18-1. So wont take much precip to get nice amounts...

I’m still holding on to Wednesday night being my goal post in terms of how I feel about the event. Things will continue to shift

I was using last weeks storm. Things changed big time last tue night 0z model run. So far so good on this storm. Lets see if 12z still is a hit on the gfs.

Some models show snow starting Friday night so need to start seeing some consistency soon

Looks like the kids wont go back to school this week. Neighborhood roads still a mess.. Crazy they will be out this long just for a few inches... This time its due to how cold it was after the storm

I mean the gfs had this past weekend storm on a lock for awhile and only thing that i see it didnt really get right was precip type. What am I missing

Most of the models now are showing some snow for RVA. I think sometimes we have to remember our true climatology here lol and be thankful for what we've been getting. Last year was fun and this year has been good also so far. And SE of RVA/the peninsula etc, definitely getting snow this weekend

agreed. Any snow I get here in Midlo Im very thankful from what we have had the last 5 years or so. This winter has been great imo. Havent seen cold like this in a long time. Id be happy with a 4-8 event this weekend. I never fall in love with these 1-2ft totals. They almost never come to fruition.

I should’ve said agreement instead of consistency. GFS has been consistent. Want to see more model agreement

I would take any snow on snow. When was the last time we had that?

it would be nice to get any amount over 2” from this storm.
