October Snow Expected Again

October snow is expected again this Saturday for the mountains of Virginia. See: WxRisk forecast

Also, the CapitalWeatherGang says:

Accumulation is likely to be highly elevation dependent, with no accumulation inside the beltway and perhaps a coating on grassy areas in outlying north and west suburbs especially as you get into Frederick and Loudoun counties.

More substantial accumulation may well occur above 1,000 feet in the mountains. Locations along and near the I-81 corridor like Harrisonburg (Va.), Martinsburg (Wv.), and Hagerstown (Md.) may also see some accumulating snow.

A Nor’easter storm brought some fall snow over the weekend of October 17th. In the Blue Ridge Mountains we picked up 2 inches. Virginia snow in October is unusual, but not unheard of.
