Where's The Snow?

Although we saw some wintry weather earlier this week, this snow season has been lackluster to say the least. The snow total so far for Richmond? A trace. That's it!

Here is a graph that depicts the chance for an accumulating snow through the year (provided by the National Weather Service). I roughly drew a normalized curve (solid blue line) to help see the trend.



From the graph, you can see that the best chances for an accumulating snow is in late January and early February.

I'm still expecting the chance for rain changing to some snow Monday night and into Tuesday. After that, it looks like we are headed towards a mild stretch of weather. So it makes you wonder...is this it?

The winter is still young, so I'm certain that we will have at least a couple more shots for some snow in late February and into early March. So be patient all you snow lovers!
