Snow Nearly Gone In Virginia

Snow pack lingered for a month in western parts of Virginia after the mid-December snowstorm and other more minor snow events. But after several days of milder weather, plus rain on Sunday, much of the snow has finally disappeared in the mountains. This is a look at the current snow depth in our region.


Compare this to what snow depth was just ten days ago after a dusting of snow in Central Virginia added to snow pack left over in many places from December:

Western and north-central parts of the state will have the potential for a winter mix Thursday and Friday as a storm system approaches from the west. Colder air will already be in place in the region after a cold front moves through late Tuesday night into early Wednesday. In much of Central Virginia, though, it appears that rain is the likely precipitation mode with slightly warmer temperatures expected.
