The End Is Near

The back edge of this storm system is just passing the North Carolina state line. Snow showers will taper from south to north between 7 and 10 AM. Winds will remain strong through the early afternoon, which will blow the snow all over the place!

Update on Snow Totals 4:30 a.m.

Heavy snowfall continues in Central Virginia at this time, with heavier bands on the west and northwest sides of Richmond. Here are some of the latest totals coming into the CBS 6 Storm Center at 4:30 a.m.:

Gum Springs 10.0"
Powhatan 7.5"
Bon Air 7.0"
Short Pump 7.0"
East Henrico 7.0"
Dinwiddie 5.0"

The back edge of the snowfall is in Central North Carolina at this time, so we still have several more hours of snow to come. I expect the snow to taper off from Southwest to East and Northeast through late morning.
