Here we go again: Snow showers expected today

Winter storm watches and winter weather advisories are up for eastern West Virginia counties just west of the border with Virginia as Round 3 of mountain snow showers begins (the first round was a week ago today, the second late Thursday and early Friday). Up to 10 inches may fall in western Greenbrier County, West Virginia ... the Quinwood area. As usual, a few snow showers may bleed over into the New River Valley, possibly even a ground-whitening snow squall or two, while a few flurries or even briefly heavier snow showers could drift into the Roanoke Valley. Let me know if you get measurable snow at your location.

  1. Had a nice little snow squall over here at the airport a couple minutes ago.

    Didn't amount to anything but it's always nice to see. Think a little bit of rain may have been mixed in; It's 41 degrees.

  2. 12:19 p.m.: Snowflakes are falling at this moment in downtown Roanoke. The sun is also shining, but there's still a nice little flurry happening for a few moments anyway.

  3. Looking to the future..

    I think the storm this weekend will remain rain.

    The storm around the 6th of December will be our first widespread snow.

    Of course, considering I chose Dec. 5th, I'm a bit partial...

  4. Agreed on the weekend storm ... but I think we're going to be waiting later than Dec. 5 or 6 for a widespread snow ... next week's system, if there is one, may well end up being the kind that goes to the Ohio Valley and then transfers energy off the coast of the Northeast ...
