The snow that fell today ran 6-10 inches in areas of Southwestern Virginia — a wet, heavy snow that coated the ground and trees, brought down limbs and clogged roads.

With temperatures predicted to drop below freezing tonight (and wind chills in the teens), Monday’s storm should be with us for most of the week.

The chirping alert started going off on my computer early Sunday. “Winter Storm Warning” Weatherbug proclaimed. Yeah, yeah, we’ve heard that before. But the warnings intensified during the day. Maybe this time they were right.
