The snow may still be covering much of our state, but its days are numbered. You may have noticed much more grass (okay, so it's in its Winter state, but at least we can see it!) this week as sunny spots get enough sunshine and afternoon warming to melt away the snow. The southeast half of Virginia is experiencing the best snow melt right now, which makes sense considering this is where the snow is thinner.
With no other snowstorms expected in the near future, and the potential for rain late Sunday into Monday, expect that snow cover line to gradually recede to the northwest. You may remember that after our December 18-19, 2009 snowstorm, snow cover remained on the ground in some spots for a month. This time, we've had multiple rounds of snow to contend with, so parts of the state are likely in for another long thawing process.
