A Nor’easter storm brought 9″ of snow to Old Dominion Wildlife Headquarters. I’ll be posting pictures all week; here is the first batch of pictures taken during the event.
Trees weighted down by the snow caused widespread power outages in Warren County
Pumpkins and Mums Covered by Snow
A Dogwood Tree Snapped by the Weight of the Snow -- I should've tried brushing the snow off earlier to prevent this
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.
Flashback: 2009 October Snow pics/video here and here.
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.
