We’ve had a warm and sunny beginning to Spring, but will we get some more snow this season? Old Dominion Wildlife and Weather readers are divided. Tomorrow (Monday 3/21/2010) will bring rain to most of the Virginias, although some mountains in West Virginia might pick up some some snow according the the National Weather Service HPC Snowfall Probability Forecasts. Weather forecasting models are not reliable far out into the future, but I think there is a system showing up on the GFS near the end of the month worth watching.

Just to get an idea of the realm of spring snow possibilities, check out this article about the snow storm of April 27-28, 1928:

One station in West Virginia reported 40 inches of snowfall, several reported 30 inches or more, and 20 inches or more covered nearly one-half of the State. The largest amounts reported in other States were as follows: 36 inches in Pennsylvania, 15.5 inches in Kentucky, 14 inches in Virginia, and 13 inches in North Carolina.
