Southern Snowpocalypse 2025 Edition: January Round 2

depends on which weather model. I think Richmond is going to see more rain than snow, but a shift south by 50 miles and you're getting clobbered with snow.

Sweet spot if you like snow (I mostly do not, which is why I moved here from Pittsburgh) is something like Fredericksburg.

I have a doctor's visit (that I scheduled a month ago) tomorrow afternoon which is looking pretty dicey atm. It's a specialist and for something I'm worried about, so I don't want to cancel and reschedule, but also I don't want to get stuck on I-95 for 12 hours either.

 

They’ve got us getting 4-8” starting about 3 AM Wed morning. Hope they go ahead and cancel school the night before.

 

Gotcha, we're now 4-6

 

Headed to the Homestead this weekend and hoping they got a decent amount. Trying to get my daughter skiing a bit.

 

Hell yea. It’s funny, I learned how to ski at The Homestead, Wintergreen, and basically Snowshoe. I was shocked the first time I went out West as a kid. How no idea what real skiing was lol

 

Those people are about to find out unless it’s warming up soon

 

We missed most of the ice this time. South and west of us got nailed. 60k+ without electricity. Hoping most of the residual melts today.

 

I too learned at wintergreen/snowshoe. You know what they say, if you can handle the ice of east coast skiing then you can ski anywhere

 

Also more snow mid next week dipping closer to some southern states

 

Meteorologists give the Republican Party a run for their money wrt fear mongering

 

We had the best kind of snowstorm. We got about 10 inches Tuesday and it’s all gone, basically.

 

Possibly a huge ass storm next Wednesday in Virginia

 

And people are losing their shit about it already.

 

I’ve seen models of 12-24 inches. The problem is I don’t see the temp warmup like this last storm.

 

I think confidence is rising in a storm, whether it goes straight through Delaware and out to sea similar to most recent storm or it rides up the east coast into a monster storm is the question

 

This vortex is going to be a bitch

 

I'm a big NOAA guy, and check daily. 60% chance of snow Wednesday, 50% Thursday (here). No amount estimated yet.

 

This guy knows ball (weather).

Also, find your local NWS office. They usually post graphics (weather story) on their website/FB/Twitter that give some nuance and context re: the forecast. Can be very helpful with more impactful weather

 

I actually know several guys in the Blacksburg office. Good dudes. One of them, now retired, gave me daily updates the entire week of our outdoor wedding years ago.

 

thats gonna take weeks to unthaw

 

That's apocalyptic

 

Can't be good for the cars

 

how do you even begin to fix that in the middle of winter in michigan

 

Supposed to be in the 40s next week

 

This seems like a pretty dangerous endeavor and quite lucky not to get t boned by a semi

 

Is this the spring of deception boys? Or are we in the clear….

 

Had to have been there awhile for someone to get out the drone and start filming

 

I think we are generally good for March (not that there couldn't be brief cooler spells behind a large system or two, but nothing too significant). Sometime during the April 5-15 time frame or so could be a different story, there is a risk for a more organized cold shot (for April standards) during that period.

 

honestly if we have a paleoclimatologist on here I’d love to hear their thoughts
