What to expect in your neighborhood...

I expect snow and sleet to fall across much of the region Thursday morning, eventually changing to rain in most places as milder air surges in aloft and at the surface. Here's what we can expect:

* Snow and sleet developing between 8 A.M. and 10 A.M.
* Some accumulation possible, especially on grassy surfaces
* A change to rain by early afternoon

Counties north and west (Goochland/Hanover/Powhatan/Amelia/Cumberland/Louisa)

* Snow develops between 8 A.M. and 10 A.M.
* Accumulation of 1 to 3 inches
* A change to rain by the mid-afternoon (around 3 P.M.)

Tri-Cities/Middle Peninsula

* A mix of snow, sleet and rain developing during the morning (by 8 A.M. in the Tri-Cities, before 10 A.M. on the Middle Peninsula)
* Little if any accumulation
* A quick changeover to rain

Farmville/Crewe/South Hill

* A mix of snow and sleet developing between 6 A.M. and 8 A.M.
* Accumulation of 1-2 inches in Farmville/Crewe, 1" or less in South Hill
* A period of sleet and freezing rain could produce some icing on top of that
* A changeover to rain before midday in South Hill, by early afternoon in Farmville/Crewe
