The heavy precip in northern KY has my attention.  

That’s a key location in most of our good results

Nice bullseye for our DE friends. They get both parts well.

32/13 down here in Hartwood. Heard from a friend that flakes have started near Lake Anna about 35 miles SW from here as the crow flies.

[jlewis1111]

Approaching 2 inches here In Midlothian Va few miles west of Richmond Everything covered and caved

[weathervswife]

It’s been snowing here just SE of CHO for about an hour.  Very fine flakes but everything is covered.  Waiting for the fatties.

Folks, tomorrow is the anniversary of the big dog, the Blizzard of 1996. We honor that event with a significant east snow. Here's throwback Local on the 8s music from January 1996.

It's going to look like real winter. Yippee!!

32 with a very slight breeze from the NE in Gainesville/Haymarket

Finally.  Thought you gave up on this wretched hobby.  This is the payoff however.  We suffer for our snow

Where u been?

After last year when winter lasted a week with the two storms, I went on sabbatical. Looks like this week has the potential to surpass last year easily.

Don’t know if you’re being sarcastic I glanced at it for a sec and the thump through the morning didn’t really do much north of i70. 

No.  That map just stopped prematurely.   Seeing the heavy axis way down in southern VA alarmed me.

I'm still a bit concerned that areas south have been precipitating for hours while we have nothing.  The precip is streaming east to west.

Guess you haven’t been paying attention to models. That was expected for days.

Brother, how have you been. It is wretched that's for sure. This is shaping up as a fun week though. I've been secretly tracking next weekend's storm for about eight days or so

[Eskimo Joe]

Anyone west of Front Royal seeing precip from those heavier returns?

 

[wxdude64]

Had about a 10 minute period of snizzle when dbz on radar dropped to 10-15, but back to snow (almost+) now that 20-30 range has moved back in. Currently 24.9/22.4. Just cleared the snow board as it was just a tick over 6 hours since it has started at 2:30 pm, 3.0 on the money.

[wxmeddler]

oof

Extremely dry air below 700mb.

That radar is a thing of beauty. Hours and hours and hours and hours of fresh pure snow represented by a Brobdingnagian GLOB, deep white all full of torrential aggregates, all heading eastbound right into the very heart of the Mid Atlantic, fed by such an influx of deep GoMex moisture! You guys are in for such fun times!

[ineedsnow]

just type in your city and watch your old version of local on the 8s

I’m pretty good right now.  The VA did cut my disability because the plate in my head wasn’t big enough. I’ll be ok.  If we get next weekends storm then worlds are colliding.  It’s the apocalypse.

Sister on the north side of Charlottesville reporting very light snow. 

 

In Gainesville I am starting to get under some of the action from the west but nothing yet here

0z balloon from Sterling shows very dry air in the low levels of the atmosphere. It will take awhile for those snowflakes to make it to the surface. Talking hours.
