Perfect vort pass for the Roanoke to Richmond crew.

Slow start here but steady mod snow now. Closing in on an inch but not there yet. Looks like the next 3-4 hours will be the bulk of the heaviest snowfall for me. 5" seems like a stretch though. 3-4" seems reasonable 

Yea looks like the heaviest rates are to the E/SE of the ROA valley. You all look to do a good bit better. 

[Ephesians2]

Rates starting to pick up. Measured 1.75" just now. Thus far it has been a pretty wet snow. 

[SnowenOutThere]

Temperatures have crashed in the past couple hours from 33 degrees to 28 degrees in Charlottesville. Generally having some lighter rates (smaller dendrites I think) but still moderate intensity. Wonder if the roads will cave if we get back into some heavier rates like the Nam and HRRR suggest around 1pm.

Dew points really crashing up here in frozen mud land

Arctic High pressing southeastward. Falling temps and dews. Gonna need a fire tonight.

[Buddy1987]

[Ephesians2]

2.7"

[SnowenOutThere]

Measured exactly an inch of snow! Hoping to get near the 2 inch mark by the tine the storm ends. 

[Bob Chill]

Clean 2" in these parts so far. Lost some due to warmish start and not high ratio stuff but a beautiful scene and pretty breezy so sideways snow at times lol. Oscillating between light/mod right now. 3-4" tops still seems good unless ratios jump.  Deep winter day for sure either way

Bittinger was -3 Td earlier. I think even DCA and BWI could hit the teens tonight.
