Yeah, too far south and east this run for RIC. 

[RVASnowLover]

Good run for SEVA though. Just not our storm in RIC.

this was at 6z lol 

[jlewis1111]

so will  see

[D-Money]

12z 3k NAM not doing it. 
FV3 not doing it as well, LP pushes east and precip gets sucked out to see. 

both runs get some bands in to the southside but it may not add to much due to the dry air. 
 

All in on the NAM! What could go wrong?

Next storm  opportunity Feb 4th-5th. However I’ll be up in PA so will probably miss that one…lol

6z Nam wasn't "onto something" it apparently was "on something". Lol-I think of the rest if the 12 Z doesn't change we're seeing dusting to maybe 2 inches far south areas of RVA

Yeah, we are finding all of our usual ways to fail.  

2 feet of snow becomes 2" sleet bomb - Check

2 feet of snow from coastal, suppressed - Check

But, still a memorable stretch of winter due to the cold.

To have so much frozen over snow still here, is pretty amazing for this area four days later.

We’ve had multiple accumulating snows here this (meteorological) winter. Parts of the RIC metro are just about at average for our climate. We’ve had more than one season of being shut out or close to it in the last 10 years. The “big dog” snows just keep getting rarer. We do have ways to win with them, but I think this winter shows what our expectations should be.
