...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM EST THIS AFTERNOON...
SNOW WILL BECOME STEADIER THIS MORNING...THEN CONTINUE AT VARYING INTENSITIES INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS BEFORE TAPERING OFF TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS LATE. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL RANGE BETWEEN 1 TO 2 INCHES.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN A COMBINATION OF WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS SUCH AS SNOW OR BLOWING SNOW...SLEET...FREEZING RAIN AND EXTREME WIND CHILLS IS EXPECTED. WHILE THE WEATHER WILL BE SIGNIFICANT...SEVERE WINTER WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
ROADS...BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES IN THE ADVISORY AREA WILL BECOME SLICK AND HAZARDOUS. ACCUMULATION OF SNOW OR ICE ON ROADWAYS...BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES WILL MAKE TRAVEL TREACHEROUS. EXERCISE CAUTION IF TRAVEL IS NECESSARY.
You know you're living in a different world than the one you grew up in when 1-2" of snow warrants a Winter Weather Advisory... [Here's the site for our local National Weather Service office in Wakefield, VA.] It is surprising, however, to wake up and look outside and see snow covering the tops of buildings and cars. The roads are wet and perhaps a bit slushy in spots, which means there will be tons of accidents this morning. And then the news that a local school system cancelled school? Oy vey, baby.
