time snow expected in the ABC13 area this weekend
Key Points:
- A significant winter storm is expected to bring the highest snow totals since December 2018, with potential accumulations of 10 to 15 inches in parts of Central, Southwest, and Southside Virginia.
- Snow will begin Saturday night, worsening road conditions quickly, with Sunday predicted to be the worst travel day due to ongoing snowfall and snow-covered roads.
- The storm's impact depends on the low-pressure system's track: a southern path would bring heavier snow, while a northern path could result in lower snow totals but more freezing rain, especially affecting Southside Virginia and the Carolinas.
- Widespread cancellations are anticipated, including airports, schools, churches, and outdoor events, with airports in Virginia and the Carolinas closing Sunday and schools
