Another minor event

A storm is passing WELL to our west in the upper Great Plains. With that, a warmer push of air is going to create some precipitation in our region and we should get a burst of snow and sleet towards daybreak. 

NWS has an advisory for west of the Blue Ridge-- lower regions expect 1-2 inches of snow and sleet and higher 1-3 with both places at risk for a glaze of ice. 

Lynchburg is not under an advisory yet, but the forecast map created in Blacksburg has us getting a coating to an inch...

Southside may avoid most of the snow and ice. 

Expect school delays in the AM>...

Saturday Storm wrap up--

Pretty intense local event-- the NAM was on to something with a stronger band, but it was more NORTH SOUTH vs SE to NW. Also, because of the limited scope of a model-- it was a more defined pause of either IN our OUT of the band.. no real tapering. Places in Appomattox had up to 8 inches. A friend reported close to 4 inches in Eastern Campbell county but said a 5 minute drive towards LYH went to NO snow. On the way home from the moster truck show there was NO snow until I got off on 460 BUSINESS west-- by the 7/11 and then the ground was covered. Once I passed Lowes on Timberlake, there was NO snow again. 

Strong storm-- just the upper air energy had not consolidated before it passed our region. It has become a MAJOR storm over the Northern Atlantic Ocean.
