A Storm To Remember, But...

This Nor'easter dumped lots of snow across the area and will be remembered for years to come. However, we *only* received officially 7" at RIC, so we did not crack the top fifteen snowstorms in Richmond history. Here is the list below:

1) Jan 23-24, 1940...21.6"

2) Jan 27-29, 1922...19.1"

3) Feb 10-11, 1983...17.7"

4) Dec 22-23, 1908...17.2"

5) Feb 11-14, 1899...16.3"

6) Mar 5-7, 1962...15.2"

7) Jan 4-5, 1980...14.9"

8) Jan 25-27, 1966...14.8"

9) Mar 1-2, 1980...13.0"

10) Feb 6-7, 1936...12.6"

Snow Slowly Tapering - 7:55 PM

A few flurries and isolated snow bursts still linger in the area. A dusting to an inch will be possible, especially east of I-95. I'm going for a low of 22, but when you factor in winds at 5 to 15 mph, it will feel like the teens. Tomorrow will be a cold and breezy day with winds 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Although we will see some peeks of sunshine, we will not warm up considering all the snow on the ground. In fact, communities to the northwest (with almost two feet of snowpack) will struggle to get to the upper 20s for highs!

Weather Update - 4:15 PM

The backside of this storm system is about to move past our area. A few snow bands have already developed in the Blue Ridge and are moving to the east towards central Virginia. Isolated bursts of snow will be possible through at least 8 PM, then we will dry out tonight. An additional dusting to 2" of snow will still be possible for metro Richmond/Petersburg and areas farther south. If you live in north central Virginia, snow will be likely for the next few hours and could be heavy at times - an additional 2 to 4" will be possible.
