More Snow?!? "Just when I thought I was out...
They pull me back in."
Brief Youtube Clip: “Just When I Thought I Was Out...”
I can’t believe I’m writing this when it’s 70 degrees outside, expected to be 75, then a cold front will crash through and drop our temps into the low 30’s before it’s back to 60 and sunny again tomorrow. But that’s March. So, what’s really happening today?
Chance of Snow: (Of seeing snow): 60%. It’ll be warm for snow (about 36 degrees) which is hard to overcome. The only chance to see snow is if it falls at a heavy rate and doesn’t melt in time at the lowest temperature point for the afternoon, at least 36-37 degrees. Anything warmer and we’ll just see windy, cold rain. But there’s a decent chance of “seeing snow.”
Snowfall prediction as of now: I agree with the models that about 3/4 of an inch of snow will fall from the clouds. Will it make it to the ground and stick? It might make it to the ground if it falls fast enough and temps are 37 degrees or lower. It will not stick. Ground temperatures have been too warm and won’t fall below freezing. Best chances are small brush exposed to the air which might have a dusting if the snow is heavy enough. If you lived at 500 feet, literally at the top of a Norfolk skyscraper, you have a better chance of seeing snow.
Chance of school getting let us early: 0%. Happening after school lets out.
Chance of a 2-hour delay Friday: 0%. Nothing will stick, temps tonight above freezing.
When? around 4-6 pm. Rush hour. Just be careful for a quick burst of wet snow falling, but not sticking. Might gnarl traffic.
Prove it…Ok….Weather Modeling time. Several of the most counted on models predicting about the same thing, but this is not going to stick, this is just how much will fall from the clouds, up to an inch’s worth of quick-to-melt flakes. It will come down hard and fast and be done within two hours.
Each Model Below has the Cursor on Virginia Beach. Again, around 4-6 pm.
That’s it. I don’t see anything on the horizon but if I do, you’ll be the first to know.
Quite a trifecta: Great explanations, down-to-earth style, and great sense of humor. Re, March 12th snow possibility diagrams: Cursor on VB (&/or curser in VB)
