Snow Ending From West to East

Snow is ending from West to East this morning, and the back edge of the snowfall runs from the D.C. Metro Area to Fredericksburg to Burkeville to South Hill at 5:40 a.m. New snow showers are moving into Southwest Virginia at this time, and there may be new accumulations from Roanoke to Martinsville and west of an inch or so.

Temperatures are still holding above freezing along and East of I-95 at this time, so black ice has not been able to form in most of this region. However, it is freezing from Emporia west to South Hill, and black ice may form over the next couple of hours on the wet roads in South-central Virginia.

Temperatures are also below freezing in Western Virginia closer to Charlottesville down to Lynchburg and West, so the wet roads will begin freezing this morning with slick spots.

Still Snowing in Richmond

Good early morning from Carrie Rose! As of 3:30 a.m., it is still snowing in Richmond, with snow primarily accumulating on cars and other elevated and exposed surfaces. There is only light accumulation on the ground, with the roads remaining wet at this time. Temperatures in Richmond are still just above freezing, so ice has not been able to develop on the roads. However, I will be watching that potential very closely through the morning, and CBS 6 Beat the Traffic Reporter Amanda Meadows will be in with me shortly to keep an eye on things.

Check back often for updates.

Snow Now In Central VA

Light snow is now falling in Richmond and is accumulating on cars and the grass. The back edge of this batch of snow is just to the west, so it will be ending in the next few hours.

Although a lot of this snow is melting, there could be isolated slick spots on the roads, so be careful! Carrie Rose will be in the weather center here shortly and will have an update later this morning.
