Very early morning update...

The sloppy mess will be changing back to snow this morning in Metro Richmond and all the way to southeastern Virginia this afternoon. Additional significant accumulations are likely. Wet roads will quickly become icy as north winds lower the temperature, and snow will accumulate on top of the slippery surface. The winds will really kick up, causing blowing and drifting snow. Travel will be very hazardous, so don't go out if you don't have to!

Here's what I expect for snow totals today, for the last part of our latest winter storm:

Metro Richmond southwest to Farmville
3-5 inches

Western Goochland/Hanover
4-6 inches

Central/eastern Northern Neck
4-8 inches

Fredericksburg and upper Northern Neck southwest to Louisa
8-12 inches

Charlottesville/Culpeper/DC
12 inches +

Tri-Cities to Williamsburg
1-3 inches

Extreme southeastern Virginia/Hampton Roads/Emporia
1-2 inches possible later on
