Another Disappointment For Central VA Snow Lovers

Well another storm has come and gone, grazing the area and leaving virtually all central Virginia without any snow on the ground. Southside residents did get some accumulation, with an inch and half reported in Lunenburg County and 2 inches in Mecklenburg County. The problem here in the Metro Richmond area was a stiff north breeze ushering in drier air and pushing the storm just south of us in North Carolina. Residents in northeastern NC are the jackpot winners for snow...4-5 inches has already fallen in Raleigh with moderate snow continuing during the midday hours. While it's a disappointment for snow lovers here, don't completely give up yet...winter is not over!

Always dicey around here and we weren't expecting too much. I feel bad for SE VA since they had a WSW up. There is no worse feeling than getting a Watch, then Warning and then watch it slip away to a non event. Total heartbreak. You had a good handle on this system. GFS hinting at some fantasy storms next week, as usual, just hope we can keep the cold temps around after the moderation later this week.
