6pm Update Good Super Sunday Evening everyone. If you are a fan of winter weather... the week ahead is sure to be super in a lot of ways as we have snow and cold that will be the main players. Previous Update Good Sunday everyone and thanks for blogging. Let me start out by saying that I have a backlog of emails to answer and I am hoping to put a dent in that this weekend. If you emailed me at any point over the past few months and didn't hear back... hang tough as I am getting there. |

What a blog.Sure seems accurate.But my dauter is a sn
Posted by: Myra please no school for like a month,, :) lol <33 Posted by: Nanette Guys, you know that we are just into the first week of Feb. Some of the most memorable snows have been in March. Remember the snow in 93? Dad used to tell us that the biggest snowfall he had ever seen was in March sometime in the forties. It started as rain and in a couple of hours the rain turned to snow and it was horrific. He worked in the mines back then and it was raining hard when his crew went underground. Within two hours the power went down and all the men were called out of the mine. They only lived a few miles from the mine and it took them hours to even get home. So for you snow lovers, don't give up. There is still plenty of time for a HUGE snowfall before all is said and done. Chris may even be able to look up that year back in the forties and see what the totals here in Boone County was for that storm. I am sure it is on record somewhere. Posted by: Justin I don't know how anyone can call these forcasts wrong? I mean do you live in a bubble. People got pounded this weekend. Posted by: SECERT CRIS IS KERMIT GOIN TO GET ANY SNOW OR ICE FROM THIS STORM AND IS THE POWER GOIN TO GO OUT THE OTHER STORM MISS US AND I HOPE WE GET A BIG SNOW STORM WE HAVE GOTTEN EVERY SNOW STORM BUT THIS ONE MISS US I HOPE WE GET A BIG SNOW LIKE DC GETS ARE WE EVER GOIN TO GET A SNOW THAT BIG Posted by: McCMan Thank you Chris for all your hard work! People seem to forget that most of the snow horseshoes around the Huntington area most of the time. Other areas were pounded with snow, it would be nice to see more here. Your our meteorologist and you do a great job!!! Give him a break people he is not god :) Posted by: Teresa Chris I would love to see a Big Snow our kids have never had the chance to play in a big snow and build a snowman out of just snow not mud and snow. So Chris bring on the snow. From Louisa, KY. Posted by: 4Cast The latest models are showing a decent snow for ohio and the wv mountains AGAIN. We are left in a warm pocket of air that will give us rain, then a little snow. This is the typical winter here for Huntington-Charleston area. This winter has been a bit colder, but when it is frigid cold we get the "lake effect" snow showers off and on. I really wish someone could answer WHY we haven't seen a blizzard since 1996??? Posted by: wendell I am a big kid when it comes to the snow. I wish we would get a big snow once so my kids could know what a real snow is. They have not seen a snow like the ones from yesteryear. Do we have a chance at real snow fall Chris? Posted by: Anonymous Thank Goodness We Didnt get WHAT you Predicted for are Area and Looks Like this One Aint Going to get us Either JUST MAYBE winter In Over For us Country Folks We Have MISSED enough School Posted by: lincoln county are we having a snow storm or rain this time? cause according to weather.gov.... we got half inch or 1 inch of rain.... if so that would probably flood me from the back water soo please keep us updated on ths situation Posted by: pj Hey Greg....time to get your own blog, we already got the TOP Dog here, no room left. P.S. Be sure to post your blog site, got a lot of wanna be meteorologists to send your way. Posted by: larry We think not Posted by: emmalynn well my colts lost the superbowl so can you at least bring a big snow to the charleston area...i want a storm like DC got...BRING ON THE SNOW Posted by: donna i would like to know are we going have a big snow like washington dc or just the ones we have before. please let me know thanks. Posted by: Savannah Bring on the snow Chris! We enjoy reading your blog everyday. You do a great job:0) Posted by: Carol Who is this new meteorologist named Greg? He sure is trying to take your place or "dis" your knowledge of the weather. I sure hope that he is wrong because I sure would rather have the snow than the rain. Time will tell, but I think it is rather crude for him to tell you what is going to happen. Is he trying to replace you? NO WAY!!! Posted by: craig I won't get my hopes up this time for snow. This weekend's storm was back to the usual winter pattern where for whatever reason the warm air moves over the tri-state area and gives us mostly rain while the mountains and locations to the north get pounded by snow. Why is the warm air aloft often in this area? Posted by: Anonymous Please snow!!!!!! No rain! Again! Posted by: BSE Keep up the great work Chris !! You have done great job !! Posted by: Barbara We have snow now. It has already covered the roads and it is still snowing. It has been snowing since about 5:30. Some local school districts have already posted 2-hour delays for Monday. Posted by: out wayne the one poster said that you exagerate and make things to be bigger than they really are..well i would rather be ready for a big snow that not. i would hate for chris to say were going to get a dusting or flurries and end up with a blizzard like in 93. just think..i moved from fl that year and had never seen snow until that year..omg i hated it..still do...lol Posted by: Lou All the models and various internet weather sites continue to point toward the dreaded warm surge over the tri-state Tuesday. Chris, You better hop aboard the rain train for accuracy sake. Posted by: Tyler Hoping for some snow from T-R. Hopefully the low drops a little to get southern Ohio in on some more snow. Posted by: Tom Chris seems to be hitting these storms pretty good. I hope this next storm dumps a ton of snow. I'm a teacher and need a bit of time off for sanity reasons! :) Posted by: marie Please no more rain. My sinuses are killing me. Snow only! Posted by: Greg Chris...need to make your first call. This one is pretty easy for Hunt and Char as we will warm quickly above freezing Tuesday morning and rain most of the day. Switch back to snow sometime early Wed. morning with an inch or less. Later in the day snow showers will develop from the NW flow and give the mountains a dump. If your forecast is anything more than this then you are just hyping and trying get people exited in the lowlands about something that will not happen. Another system comes at us next weekend and gives us the same...warmer w/rain on the front end and snow on the back end. Without a big snow for Hunt and Charleston area this winter will not be remembered. Just seems colder this winter because of the mostly mild winters over the past five years. Posted by: Mari Remember folks these are "predictions" not promises! Posted by: Buckeye NWS in Wilmigton, OH just issued another Winter Storm Watch @ 4:30 for pretty much everything east and west of the I-75 corridor and probably 50 miles north and south of the I-70 corridor. Early guestimates are on the order of 6-10" through Wednesday. Mentions of some possible freezing rain/ice in the Cincinnati to Portsmouth to Athens area. Models are disagreeing on the upper level low on Tuesday night, placing it anywhere from the Mansfield area of North Central Ohio to south and east of Cleveland. Could mean the difference between a 8" snowfall and a 12" snowfall. Posted by: BSE If we get more rain than snow will the posibility that the rivers may flood. I would like to see more snow than rain but okay !! Posted by: Kim If you don't have anything nice to say...don't say nothing at all !!! No one is perfect and Chris does the best he can do. This is the best blog ever and it's fun :) Posted by: Erin Im a teacher really hoping for some snow days this week!!! Let it snow! Posted by: Snowbunny NOOOOOOO! Tell me it isn't true...RAIN all day Tuesday in Huntington and Milton, WV! Posted by: Michael You were right chris there was a very sharp cutoff line in northern Kanawha county we recieved about 2 inches in southern kanawha county they recieved about 5 inches thats so amazing how snow does that. Posted by: dylan i hope i have a snow day on monday Posted by: pj Some very very light snow flurries off/on today in Proctorville, temp at 3:30p 28 degrees. Patiently awaiting (does that count if you have worn out the refresh tab lol)for updates. Posted by: Kelly It is snowing at a pretty good clip at 3:30 pm on this Sunday afternoon...where's the sun? We have probalbly got an additional inch today since it has been snowing since early a.m. I have to laugh! Posted by: Anonymous whats yout txting number so we can be txting buddies :) from K.L Posted by: Kim BRING ON THE SNOW !!!!!! Posted by: JAB Hope the weather holds off until we can make a trip to the mall this Saturday...~fingers crossed~ Posted by: kk Chris, I always check your blog for the latest weather forecast--so far you are nearly 100% accurate! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to warmer days ahead--even if we have to wait until March. Posted by: Gina Like Mark Twain said,"If you don't like the weather here,just wait a few minutes!". Posted by: kellydcreeker Chris I know you do not answer the blog directly, however I was wondering if you may tell us how bad it will be interstate 64 west? My son graduates from FT Knox Cav scout school Thursday @10a.m., is it going to be drivable along that route? Any update for that area would be greatly appreciated :) Posted by: Helen Hey Chris hope the next system will bring us some snow since we kinda missed out on the past weekend snow here in Painsville. You along with the other team members do excellent job in keeping us informed of what kind of weather we are getting, all you GUYS and Gal do a wonderful JOB!!!!!!!!! We couldn't do with out you all. Posted by: Anonymous Looking forward to the first call on how much snow we are gonna get, if any! Keep up the good work//Very cold here today in the back of Barboursville! Posted by: jeff Well, we only got about an inch or two (max) out of this latest storm. But I'm kinda glad that is all we got. With kids' basketball, dances, etc... it all got to happen. I love the snow, but it is getting really trying anymore, at least this year. Chris, dont worry bout the haters getting on to you. You do a very good job and sometimes it just happens. Not the first time the "dome" of the kanawha valley has lessened us to rain. I love this blog and its very fun to follow. Keep it up. Posted by: Chrisann My husband just hauled and stacked more wood on the porch--he said he was doing this because of "Chris Bailey." We're ready for the rest of February! Thanks for your work, Chris Posted by: Anonymous Umm I hope this is not like the last "big storm" we were supposed to get!! And not tryin to b rude or anythig but I think u don't need to say anything to drastic untill u know for sure!! And not like u said u knew for sure this previous storm!!(: Try to b more careful in describing the impact of these storms bc u have a tendency to make like it is somethig big but it's just ur choice of words!! Posted by: Chad Thanks for the bad news. More snow, more cold. Im moving to Arizona. Just kidding, I love WV too much. Posted by: Madeline Is Barbousville gonna get any snow? Cause we haven't got a lot. Posted by: MELISSA RATLIFF BRING ON THE SNOW THE MORE THE BETTER. LOVE THE SNOW! I AM A SNOW LOVER! Posted by: Anonymous BRING IT ON! We love the snow here in Racine Ohio! Posted by: Travis I love all the snow!!!! Keep it coming! Posted by: steve a chris a chance to redeem your self is wayne going to get any snow this week was under a storm warning and didnt get even a trace Posted by: Abby It has been snowing for 3 days and we have about 5" of snow and about 1" of ice underneath,so it is very slick. Great for slaying. Posted by: annie thanks chris Posted by: Lou All you had to do was mention mix and above freezing on Tuesday and bingo = rain. Not your fault but count on it. Posted by: Brandi of Kenna I love snow and im so excited this winter has actually had lots of snow!! Hopefully we will have enough snow this week for school cancelations or at the least delays! Thanks for the blogs they are great! Posted by: JBR We just need to get into a big snowstorm of 12 or more inches to make this winter a memorable one 20 years from now. Posted by: Snowbunny Really pulling for our turn in the SNOW for Huntington and Milton, WV. We want in on the big dance!!! Posted by: katie miss the snow this last time but that was great , you tell us another one on the way think of it this way , we just needed a small break from the snow now let her roll in we are ready Posted by: Snowlover Bloggers don't get excited about the Tuesday storm. The Low is moving west of us which means RAIN as usual. Then again when they go south we still get RAIN. Its the No Snow Dome over Huntington. Posted by: liz hey l got a lot of snow and we love it so mach . Posted by: beverly i want to thank you for the forcast that you give us we want some snow here it has not ben a lot of snow for us Posted by: Maggy Just makes us appreciate spring all the more! Posted by: Angie Good Morning Chris! Burnaugh did not get anything from the last snow system, and boy was I sad. Our temperatures stayed way to warm to get anything. Sure hope the next system for mid week gives us another chance at snow. You guys at channel 3 do a great job! Posted by: ChrisBailey's#1Fan Thanks Chris! Though I hope everyone stays safe where they already got slammed, I hope this storm gains some power somehow. Chris and Tony, I'm hoping for you guys to guide this next one in and park it overtop us poor snow lovers that got so much rain the other day. At what point can we see the NAM, Chris? You are very much appreciated! Thanks! Posted by: sam Thanks for all your hard work Chris! I really enjoy your blog :) Posted by: kaye Great job Chris! When we complain about no snow around here, we should be thankful we didn't get what DC did. My neice lives in Manassas (sp?) VA. Over 2 feet for her.We are blessed with snowplows and road treatments. Posted by: LD Winter in Portsmouth has been crummy-I thought for sure we would end up with some good snow this weekend and it just didn't happen-you could still see the grass, we didn't even get enough to cover it up! Last week it all went south, this week it all went north-what gives?!? Thanks for keeping us posted, Chris, I appreciate all you do even if I don't get the snow I want LOL! Posted by: lindak Chris don't take this seriously but since you cannot deliver any good snow for us(tri state)I will thank you for sending some to my friend in Maryland who plows for a living in the Winter, she is thanking you! Posted by: Mary Jo Wahoo. Here we go again. Posted by: McLovin Bring on the snow! We need more around here that's for sure! Not three feet by any means but enough to keep us home from work would be great! Posted by: Lisa How much snow are we supposed to get with this new system coming through? Posted by: AUTIE KEATON CHRIS, NOW I AM A SNOW LOVER, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A VERY BIG SNOW FALL HERE. I AM TALKING LIKE 10" OR SO, DO YOU THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN THIS WINTER, YA MOST PEOPLE CALL ME CRAZY, BUT I REALLY DO LIKE THE SNOW, THE 2-4-6 INCHES, I REALLY DONT CALL A BIG SNOW, AT LEAST I DONT, SO DO YOU THINK JUST MAYBE WE COULD HAVE JUST 1 REALLY BIG SNOW FALL THIS WINTER, BY THE WAY, I THINK YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB WITH THE WEATHER, AND I RESPECT ALL YOU GUYS WHEN YOU ARE WORKING A LOT OF OVER TIME, REST IS GOOD,BUT SNOW IS BETTER HA HA. SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, Posted by: james thank you chris for everything you do Posted by: Kari I would like to thank you for all of your hard work. You are so energetic! I know alot of people are probably giving you and Tony a hard time because we didn't get much snow here in Portsmouth, but you can't get it right all the time! I watch you everyday and will continue. You and Tony are great! Keep up the great work!
