A few speckles on radar kick out lots of snow for some
It always amazes me that these little speckles on radar can produce such heavy snow reports in a few localized areas. Western Greenbrier County in eastern West Virginia has seen up to 10 inches of snow today from persistent snow squalls and showers being squeezed out by the westerly winds blowing up the slopes of the mountains. The Roanoke Valley has seen off and on flurries today, with somewhat more substantial snow in a few higher elevation spots to our south and southwest.
The snow showers and flurries will gradually dwindle overnight, and we'll be left with a cold but sunny Thursday before a gradual warmup through the weekend.

What are your thoughts for a storm next week?

Bill: I will go into my thoughts about the next couple of weeks more in detail later this week. But I think there's a pretty good chance of a strong low pressure system developing somewhere in the Gulf Coast states early next week. Right now, because of the persistent high off the Southeast coast, I think it will end up tracking just west of this region, which would give us a windy rain. But it's still a week away.

The NRV woke up with a dusting of snow Feb. 28. A nice little snow fell for an hour or two.
