Snow is in the forecast; a few flakes already have fallen
The season's first snowflakes have fallen this morning in parts of West Virginia and mostly the higher elevations west and north of Roanoke as a band of precipitation moved through in association with an arriving cold front. Upslope snow showers are expected to develop overnight as cold northwest winds blow up the western side of Appalachians, and some regions of West Virginia and perhaps the high elevations of far western Virginia could see the ground turn white by Tuesday morning. A few snow showers will probably drift into the New River Valley, and the Roanoke Valley may even see a few flakes come Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, today should be windy and chilly. Even with sunshine, it will be hard-pressed to get into the low 50s today in Roanoke.

We're in the New River part of Pulaski County (just outside Radford and Fairlawn) and we're seeing some light snow flurries and showers at about 11:30PM. Enough came down to dampen the ground, and the radar seems to show more on the way. We're still slightly above freezing, so I doubt there will be any accumulations around here.

We had some snow flurries in Christiansburg last night. It was sure cold enough to bring snow that's for sure!
