Snow Winding Down

The wet snowfall from late Tuesday into early this morning is wrapping up in the state, with only lingering snow showers in the eastern Peninsulas along the Bay, and also in Southeast Virginia. All Winter Weather Advisories have expired. The low pressure system responsible for our wet snow will track away from our coast today, with only a slight chance for scattered flurries this afternoon in the eastern half of the state.

Most of the snow overnight melted on contact, especially on roads. But where the snowfall fell at a faster pace, it was able to accumulate on the grass and elevated objects, and even create slush on roads east of I-95. Here are some of the snowfall totals prior to melting:

White Stone 3.0"
Appomattox Co. 3.0"
Pittsylvania Co. 2.5"
Amelia Co. 2.0"
Nottoway Co. 1.5"
Powhatan 1.5"
New Kent 1.0"
Fishersville 1.0"
Waynesboro 0.5"
Stanley 0.5"
Henrico Co. 0.5"
Chesterfield Co. 0.5"
Goochland Co. 0.5"
Hanover Co. 0.5"
Massanutten Trace
Newland Dusting
