One of the biggest all-time December snows in Virginia

The snow is really piling up in many locations tonight, as the monster storm is likely to be historic for parts of the region. While mixed precipitation will inch north and west overnight into the Metro Richmond area, as the storm deepens along the coast, we should go back to all snow tomorrow. Even coastal areas will see a bit of the white snow...and locations west and north of Richmond will be buried! The wind will be an issue as well, sustained at 10-20 mph with higher gusts in Metro Richmond. This will cause considerable blowing and drifting of the snow. Along the coast, sustained winds of 20-30 mph with gusts over 45 mph are possible.

Here's a look at what to expect by tomorrow evening.
