Wednesday 10pm Update: Heaviest Snow Still To Come

    As this snow will be less wet, like it was last Sunday, the typical 10:1 ratio may not be accurate.

Generally, a 10:1 ratio is used to indicate 10 inches of snow is equivalent to 1 inch of rain. So computer models show snowfall totals in a 10:1 ratio. 

But the snow that's falling may be more like 15:1.

That means more than what those models predict, at least by a little. 

Snow began an hour or two ago, and will continue through the night (Wednesday night). 

The heaviest snow will be between 2am and 7am Wednesday night.

There has been an increase in confidence in getting more snow tonight, particularly because of that ratio adjustment. 

Total accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are likely. We could get 6 inches. 

Then snow tapers off between 10am and 11am Thursday morning, except maybe some flurries. 

Then the big question mark is Thursday night. 

We may get a coating, with most precipitation down in Virginia. We could get a few inches if it shifts northward.

Not much respite is given, with wintry weather now looking likely Shabbos and again Tuesday. Obviously, we have to finish this storm before moving ahead to those days.
