Parts of South-Central VA snow-covered Tues. morning

Here are pictures sent in from Stony Creek, VA, which is about halfway between Petersburg and Emporia on I-95 in South-central Virginia. Thank you to Bob & Virginia Cherry for these shots!

This is the snowfall that accumulated from the light snow overnight. I expect another round of snowfall to move through South-central Virginia this morning and early afternoon, and this precipitation is already making a push northeastward into the state from North Carolina at 8:15 a.m. Tuesday. Snowfall is being reported from Danville to Emporia, and across other parts of South-central Virginia. Check back often for updates and new pictures!

More Snow Pictures




These are more pictures submitted by CBS 6 viewer Ed Jones in Rawlings, VA. This was at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday of the field and pond at Ed's home. Thanks, Ed! Viewers may submit their snow pictures to me at crose@wtvr.com --Carrie


Tuesday Morning Update 6:50AM

Most of Central and Southeast Virginia is getting a break from the light snowfall at this time, but more snowfall will be moving northeast into the state through the rest of this morning. Light snow is still falling from Danville east to I-85 and north toward Nottoway and Dinwiddie Counties. I expect snowfall to spread farther north and east by 9 a.m., with flurries and light snow in the Richmond area through mid-day. I still expect highest snowfall accumulations to remain in far South-central and Southeast Virginia.

Be aware that some areas of black ice and other slick spots may form on the roads today, and secondary streets may remain snow-covered. Use caution when traveling.
