We saw a general 1-3 inch snowfall across central Virginia Saturday afternoon and evening, due to a disturbance moving over the region in advance of the developing coastal storm. More snow is likely through this afternoon, as the storm takes shape off the Carolina coast and begins to strengthen as it moves north. As I've talked about the last couple of days, the heaviest snow will be focused well east of Richmond. However, significant accumulations will still occur near I-95. Many places in the metro could add a couple of inches to what we saw earlier, bringing totals into the 3-6 inch range along and east of I-95. West of I-95, I expect total amounts to be in the 2-4 inch range, dropping off to less than 2 inches farther west toward Charlottesville. The bullseye for heavy snow will be near the coast, from Williamsburg to Hampton Roads, including the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck, where at least 7-12 inches are likely, with locally higher amounts.
