"Looks like that nudge to the NW of the 6-9" band into RVA isn't happening. Went back to the original map from Monday and yesterday for the final issuance. Regardless of the exact totals, roads are slick and with very cold temps, it will be dangerous to travel tonight into tomorrow morning."

Thoughts as of Tuesday night. Added 6-9" for West Virginia if anyone is heading out that way to catch some powder on the slopes. Also included all of the western Piedmont and Blue Ridge in the 3-6" as it appears likely they'll reach that lower threshold. That's about it. Snow should come in two waves. The first and main wave of snow will be tied to the surface low developing off the coast and will occur during mainly the daylight hours Wednesday. The second and much lighter round will be a product of the upper-level low as it intensifies over VA and produces a short period of very strong lift Thursday morning. Skies will gradually clear late Thursday afternoon and evening. Enjoy!
