At 7 a.m. Tuesday morning, the temperature in Richmond (33 degrees at the airport) is hovering around the freezing mark, and the leading edge of precipitation is from Hanover to Goochland to Lynchburg. In North-central and Northwest Virginia, the precipitation is falling as sleet and snow. From around Lynchburg and south, the precipitation is falling as rain primarily. I expect a snow/sleet/rain mix to move into the Richmond metro area within the hour. Whatever rain falls to surfaces that are at or below freezing, will freeze on contact. This will lead to some ice accumulation. The precipitation will be light at first, but gradually become moderate through the morning hours as the leading edge pushes into Southeast Virginia.
