12:35pm: Yes, the sun’s out after a few flurries this morning. No, that doesn’t mean we’ve dodged the snow. That’s the latest from the Sterling weather station, where meteorologist Richard Hitchens says Charlottesville’s still slated to get five to 10 inches of white stuff by Wednesday morning. In addition to the impending snow, which is already falling to the south and west of us, this storm system’s bringing winds– 15-25mph sustained with possible gusts between 30 and 40mph, particularly along ridgetops. For those whose power has recently been restored, now’s the time to take a shower and heat up the house (then keep your doors and windows shut). Hitchens warns that with the predicted conditions, further power outages are likely.

all good and well,but where do they sell sleds in the god forsaken town?
Lowes in Ruckersville had 40 generators delivered yesterday!
VDOT laying down on the job again, horrendous roads this morning, while no plows anywhere to be found. After a reasonable job this weekend, they are back to lethargy and sloth.
I agree, 250 on Pantops was hard packed snow and ice this morning, while city streets were mostly snow clear and ice free; what a difference. I’ve heard that since N. Va. was hit so hard, VDOT moved their resources there.
