Colder than average temperatures settled into the Commonwealth Monday and Tuesday after a strong Winter Storm moved through the Northeast. Parts of Central Virginia received the snow showers from this system on Sunday, falling heavily enough at times to cause drivers to need to slow down because of reduced visibilities. However, the snow did not stick around in Virginia for long, but it sure did to our Northeast! Check out some of these snow totals (in inches):

We will get a break from the cold blast through the rest of this workweek, as high temperatures climb back into the 60’s Thursday and Friday. However, another storm system will move through Friday and Saturday, sweeping a cold front through Friday night and ushering in a return to colder temperatures to start the first two days of March. Temperatures are expected to be well below average again from the Mid-Atlantic through the Northeast March 1-2.
