What was that one kinda obscure snow forecasting website we all were looking at back in Jan/Feb? I'm trying to find their take on this weekends snowfall.

Yeah, I've been having problems getting to their site as well.  He had a note up there that he is upgrading servers and should be back soon.

His facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/WxRisk, but the forecast hasn't been updated since late yesterday.

remember, below is rain and only an estimate right now.  You want guarantees, go measure you yard on Monday morning.

Multiply by 12 to get your snow totals:



From the 4PM update @WXRISK's facebook page:



That if the European models correct... And this is still a big IF ... Richmond WILL come very close to tying or breaking its all time snowfall record. The model produces over 2 inches of liquid at Richmond even more over Eastern Virginia.
All of that precipitation is all snow.... and the snow ratios for a portion of the storm will be closer to 12:1 . 2.06" times 12... do the math.
DCA-1.55"
BWI-1.50
IAD-1.43"
RDU-1.71"
RIC-2.06"
PHL-1.63"
NYC-1.61"
BOS-2.00" exactly!


Yeah....get yer shovels ready!

Translation, the 2wd tards will be able to fuck up a good day playing.  I was hoping it would be bad enough where Turnskull and I could go turn doughnuts in the wallyworld parking lot.

The 1st couple years we were here the daughters and I went to the parking lot where the grocery store used
to be next to wallyworld for some "how to drive in the snow lessons" We had a blast.

Going by the Dulles reading we would be in for 17" of snow.

1" of rain=10" of snow give or take. if its light and fluffy its a little more. if its heavy wet snow it will be less.

Latest forecast from NBC 12(richmond) shows this will be a next to nothing event.  Hope Jim Duncan is wrong.  I'd like to see a big snow.  If that forecast holds true, the guy on Wxrisk.com is going to eat shit.  He was predicting a HUGE snowstorm.  Wonder if the sudden change in the forecast has anything to do with his website being "down"?

As of 11PM Friday, the forecast is still "evolving."

And at least WXRISK put something out there.  All the other internet sites are still giving "probabilities," but no amounts.

Cowards.
