It’s going to be really cold so ratios will be high 

not only that, ULL driven snow can have high ratios. you can have mid ratios with very cold temperatures. (our ratios with the front end of this last storm were pretty bad) BUT if you get snow from the ULL pass or the back end of a coastal it can promote high ratio snow

I verified 17:1 ratios with the ULL from the Feb 19-20 storm

still a lot of uncertainty with respect to the placement of the low

will need to see how this plays out, but I genuinely think there's an outside chance those numbers we are currently seeing over NC end up over Richmond 

(of course there is also a higher than usual chance of a total fail)

This reminds  me  alot  of the 1980 March blizzard. The same timing. I remember  back then they were expecting  1-3 inches  of snow Sat with an upper  lvel disturbance, and that was  it. My younger  brother  asked  me  if  it would  be  ok to go to VA Tech to see his  girlfriend.  He was  going to head  home Sat  night. I said sure and  he ended  up stuck on the road, lol. We got  some really  big  fat  flakes and  about  2 inches Sat  morning and  it stopped. Late that afternoon it started  back up as the  coastal deepened  far  more than expected. It was fun watching all the  networks playing  catch-up the rest  of the storm.
