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!

Looking Ahead

I've talked about this in previous blog entries, but our weather pattern is undergoing some changes. I'm still expecting a nice stretch of mild weather to settle into the area around the second week of February.



In between now and then, we will see some unsettled weather...as evidenced by next week's potential storm and subsequent cold blast. I will be tracking this upcoming storm and will have updates through the weekend with the very latest data. See you then!

Light Fog & Frost Friday Morning

Some spots along I-95 and to the East toward the Chesapeake Bay have a little bit of fog this Friday morning. It is not particularly dense, with visibilities staying better than a half mile in most places. That moisture has also allowed frost to form on most cars this morning, so be sure to allow enough time to defrost those vehicles before your morning commute.
