@here4USAnews @CBS6 Not confirmed. Showed up on the seismograph, but less than a 2.5 mag if so.

@CBS6 @ZachDanielCBS6 Was that an earthquake in Chesterfield?!

Lots of discussion about the loud boom in Chesterfield Co. around 5:52 PM. The seismograph picked it up, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was an earthquake. Nothing on USGS of a 2.5 mag or higher. Still researching…

The biggest temp drop I’ve heard of was on 11/11/11 in OKC. Record high and low set on the same day. High of 83 mid afternoon, and a low of 17 just before midnight.

@rbrewbaker Big weather day but different. Severe weather threat is significant. No snow, but a good 25-30 dip in temps.

@ZachDanielCBS6 crazy 24 hours .. somewhat a repeat Monday?

The 24 hour 55-degree temp drop in RVA is the largest since at least 1948, and could be the largest in recorded history.

@DaddyOh Long-range snowfall forecasts aren’t typically worth much.

@ZachDanielCBS6 It was supposed to be a low snow year.

Officially 2.0” of snow recorded at KRIC yesterday. Season total is now 13.0”

Severe weather threat will be significant Monday in central VA. Damaging wind gusts and tornadoes possible.
