From ABC 13 - WSET Chief Meteorologist George Flickinger:
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — Measurable snow will fall across the entire ABC13 viewing area on Friday night and Saturday morning-- this will be the sixth snow for January!
1" to 3" amounts will be most common. We are not expecting huge snow amount variations across our local area.
Mountain totals are mostly 2" to 4." The heaviest snow in Virginia falls across Hampton Roads where totals could exceed 5".
You can expect 5 to 8 hours of light to moderate snow. The precipitation transitions to a dry snow, which accumulates slower than wet snow.
The snow will stick to roads. We are not expecting a sleet/freezing rain mix, so this snow will be easier to shovel and plow.
