The preliminary CLI did not include this afternoon's snowfall, but the final will be sent around 1:30am. 

AKQbot has been periodically sending snow reports, so there is a chance we could see it before then. The 7 pm snow depth at RIC was 2", but at least 1" of that was already on the ground as of this morning from the past snow event. My guess is it will be around 10 or 11".

I swear man as soon as I left y'all get are getting snow left and right. Albeit, it's not 6"+ storms but seems as if as soon as @migratingwxand I left RVA was cured of the snow drought. I've been down here in Tampa for about 90 days now and MAYBE 4 or 5 of them have been cloudy/rainy and that's for ONLY the first or last half of the day. I think I'm going crazy with the amount of sun and lack of actual weather aside from the cold snap that reached down here the last few weeks.

I just hit double digits here in 23120 I know that!

[mikeeng92]

I measured 1.7” tonight and 12.6” for the season in 23229

[mikeeng92]

12/5- 2.9”

12/8- 4.2”

12/14- 0.3”

1/24-1/25- 3.5” (rough guess)

2/6- 1.7”

Winter grade regardless of what else happens: A+

 

[TampaMan]

Hey! That's a LOT better than the last few years.. y'all enjoy it. I really miss VA. Florida is cool and all but I will sincerely miss having 4 (3 really) seasons in VA. I still watch tropicaltidbits models like I still live there haha.

 

[SoCoWx]

Nice! So we’re pretty much at or slightly above climo now? Would’ve never guessed that going into a La Niña winter.

Looks like RIC is at 11.0” for the season. Last year’s total was 11.7”

Also, at least 1” of snow (including sleet) has been on the ground for 13 straight days in Richmond. This is the longest stretch of snowcover 1” or more since the 2009-10 winter. With this weekend’s cold, it’s likely this will increase to at least 15 days, which means it could be the longest stretch since 1982.
