12/8 Southern Slider

[Ephesians2]

0z HRRR - a bit of an increase overall from 18z but like the NAM and 3k especially in the south side of the RIC metro

[WhiteoutMD]

Had my share, relaxing now. Made the weekly 2 week pilgrimage to a Duke cancer center for wife’s direct chemo infusion. We are fighting the good fight. She is walking the walk with incredible grace. I usually don’t share this with folks I don’t really know, but I think I do know the good people in here. Thanks for listening. Happy Holidays.

God bless you and your family

I had to go down this road, stay strong and believe, you have my best hope and prayers.  Positive mindset is stronger than anybody can measure.

Man.. NWS dropping the hammer and issuing Warnings. @Bob ChillALERT

[wxdude64]

28.5/27.2 at 9:30 here. Although I am one county off from the just issued WSW, I'll take whatever falls. The models have done nothing but increase snowfall with each run it seems.

[Bob Chill]

Just got the WSW text for my yard. Welcome surprise. Lowest stress warning level storm I can remember. Never expected it and here it is 8 hours before onset lol. Awesome

Hey, hey you're not allowed to do that here...they just reprimanded me, lol

Not a reprimand! 

Frankly, I just want the northern crew to sound like we are used to snow and brush these misses off like a dusting on the windshield. 
 

But, yea, I’m really jelly. December snow IS special.

Latest HRRR and FV3 both get snow up into DC. No help for me out here though.

Shut up and stop trolling us from New New England.

Yup it certainly seems like NC and Virginia are the new new England  this winter lol

Glancing at records for 12/8, Roanoke's top three are 8.0 in 1917, 5.4 in 1976 and 5.1 in 1989. Lynchburg had 3.2 in 1917, 2.8 in 1976 and 3.1 in 1989. Don't think the Roanoke mark is in jeopardy, but Lynchburg's certainly is with 3-5 forecasted now.

Freezing fog building out there again tonight?

Stay strong, I’ll say a prayer tomorrow morning for your wife at mass, and will keep her in my prayers.

Yep, not as much as last night but some accretion on elevated surfaces here. Sitting at 29, 3 degrees colder than NWS hourly forecast 

[wxdude64]

28.2/26.5 at 11 pm, plenty cold enough for snow.

You betcha. The western ridge is semipermanent. Cold air will continue along with storm after storm after storm after storm after storm after storm after storm after storm after storm.

Snow gods love the Mid Atlantic this winter. You will all see soon enough! ENJOY!

Bob Chill I hope you get buried alive by fluffy snow!

May the grace of God be with you, your family and wife.

I lost a very special friend to the big C a few years ago. She was robbed of a beautiful life much too soon.  Hopefully, your wife can beat this bastard.

Probably too late to matter but Euro is a hold, maybe even a bit wetter than 18z. Don't have Kuchera but:
