Pictures Of Snow

Here are a couple photos of some snow from earlier today. These were sent in by Tommy and Abby Manley of Montpelier.





Here is another picture from Route 1 just south of Ashland taken from someone's cell phone.

Brief Bout With Some Snow

Around two o'clock I witnessed a nice batch of rain mixed with wet snow flakes moving through downtown Richmond. It stopped, then a quick burst of some snow flurries followed. A few stray flurries will still be possible through 5 PM, then skies will become mostly clear after sunset.

Isolated Showers Continue

A few light rain showers are still hanging around the area. There have been reports of some mixed precipitation near Langley Air Force Base, and some light snow near DC, but the majority of precip has fallen as rain. We still could see isolated pockets of flurries for the next couple hours, then skies will begin to quickly clear out.

Light Rain In Richmond

Some light rain is now falling across Central Virginia and will be possible on-and-off through the morning. As colder air moves into the upper atmosphere, we could see a brief change to some wet snow by midday. Later this afternoon the chances for precip will quickly diminish. In fact, skies will be mostly clear by this evening.

Remember to send any photos of snow to weather@wtvr.com

Flakes Still Possible Today

Doppler Max 6 is picking up on some moisture in the area this morning, but most of it is evaporating before it hits the ground. I'm watching farther to the west, where a few snow showers are moving past Lexington, KY and Cincinnati, OH. This is associated with a wave of energy that will pass our area in the next few hours.

I'm expecting hit-and-miss rain/snow showers to occur between 10 AM and 4 PM today. Any flakes that fall will quickly melt on impact - temperatures will stay well above freezing all day.

If you see any snow today, snap a picture and send it to weather@wtvr.com - I will share your photos for the 6:30 and 11 PM newscasts tonight.
