I stand corrected:

now 1, high only going to 10.

at least we're consistent. VA is screwy

[ATrain]

I also stand corrected. Our windchilld dropped to -1 right before I left.

Medic, I prefer the term bipolar for VA weather. This weekend we're forecasted to be back in the 60's. Sadly I'll be in Chicago.

According to the Weather Channel, Winter Storm Janus is coming in.

[rogers3]

More like Winter Storm Joke-is-on-us.

We felt quite a drop here today. It was 75 degrees while we were splashing around at the lake yesterday. Today we are barely getting to 60.

[PAmedic]

2 deg with a wind chill of -15

1' of snow so far.

got to be outside in it most of the morning. delightful.

if I wanted to live where MALLET does I would. but I don't.

[jbock13]

Had a last minute squal that dropped 3 inches in 2 hours.

[thepostman]

I didn't think we would be getting much here in dc with how slow it started but I would say we are getting close to 8". In DC that puts the whole city in a standstill. haha

[ATrain]

1-3 inches is enough to shut down Hampton Roads. None if it is melting today, temps in the teens and low 20s with windchills below zero here.

Norfolk Schools closed today and they cancelled everything last night. Im hoping to get back out tomorrow though (Im a substitute teacher for Norfolk)

Wow. That is probably the hardest job I can think of. Kudos to you for staying alive all of this time.

We are getting a surprise arctic blast Monday night into Tuesday here in Houston. So I suspect you guys will get it a day or so later. They arec calling for a possible accumulation of snow here in Houston. That happens once every ten years or so.

[01LUGrad]

Hampton Roads is going to get blasted tomorrow. Watching the local news is completely cracking me up!

I'm leaving my office today at the first snowflake. Mainly b/c I want to try and beat those who will totally freak out home. Its generally a 20 minutes commute in the morning, and 30-45 minutes for me in the afternoon to get from the Oceanfront to my office off Military Hwy in Norfolk. Last year during a rush hour storm, it took me almost an hour, and others with normal 15-20 minute commutes who left later ended up sitting in traffic for over 4 hours.

According to this article Va beaches got up to 10 inches of snow.

10 inches sounds about right...I think we got 9 at the Oceanfront. The news set up shop across the street from my apartment building and pictures were shown on Good Morning America today. The roads were covered in snow yesterday, even after plowing.

[Humble_Opinion]

My parents and in-laws in the Hickory/Great Bridge area of Chesapeake got 8 inches. Everything's still closed down there for the most part.

[Purple Haize]

70 with large wind gusts here in Vegas......

[ATrain]

70 with large wind gusts here in Vegas......

When I was there last year it was freezing cold with large wind gusts. Yes, I'm jealous you got the nice weather there.

[Sly Fox]

I just walked the dogs at 8am in 65 degree weather. But it is only supposed to get up to 73 today after pushing 75 yesterday.

[adam42381]

I just finished mowing the yard. It's 83 degrees now. May jump in the pool in a minute. Brrrrrr.

If you are a Facebooker and you care about snowfall forecasts in VA/NC, you should follow "wxrisk.com". He has horrible grammar and can barely form a sentence, but the dude has nailed the past few storms several days before the local guys had anything on them.

Btw, Central VA is going to get buried this week.

[jbock13]

I love wxrisk. Followed him for years.

Yes, 8-12 looks likely, possibly even more.

Wow! What is the all-time winter snowfall record for Lynchburg?

[rogers3]

Wow! What is the all-time winter snowfall record for Lynchburg?

Not sure, but I am sure that no records will be broken. 16" in a single day is the record, but we've had more than that in a multi-day event. The last big snow we had was in late January 2010- we had 11" and some localities had more.
