Snowing nicely in Va. Beach

[EverythingIsEverything]

Now, I could have sworn our local mets stated this would be a mostly rain event and I wake up to snow covered ground and it is continuing to snow. Do you think this will change over to rain? Our local mets seem to be a bit shocked that sections a little closer to the coast are getting all snow and no mix.

This will be difficult to forecast. Enjoy the snow, maybe this thing will crank up a bit more, as several have speculated. No snow here in Fredericksburg, 19.8 degrees with a DP of 12, it looks and feels like snow. We will see. Enjoy my friend.

virginia beach isn't part of the winter storm warning, we are under a winter weather advisory and it is now starting to sleet instead of snow
