A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect through this afternoon for the areas in lavender, for light snow showers lingering in the region. This may lead to an additional inch of accumulation. In the Richmond Metro, there is only a slim chance for a flurry. The areas in white on the map are under a Blizzard Warning for white-out conditions in heavy blowing snow as the nor'easter intensifies and tracks northeast this afternoon.
In most of Central Virginia, snow totals were relatively low, 2"-4" in most cases. But as winds picked up shortly after sunrise, that created blowing snow which significantly reduced visibilities for several hours while the moderate and heavy snow bands tracked through the area.
Winds will remain up from the northwest 25-35 mph, with some higher gusts around 40 mph this afternoon. Even overnight, winds will gust in the 20-30 mph. While these winds remain up, snow on the ground and in the trees from this morning will blow around and can locally reduce visibility. Wind chills will be in the Teens all afternoon.
