HIDE Winter Storm Warning issued February 20 at 4:50AM EST until February 20 at 12:00PM EST by NWS Blacksburg
...Threat for Winter Precipitation Diminishes Today...
.A winter storm was moving across the region this morning as cold
air moved southwest along the east side of the Appalachians from
an area of high pressure across the northeastern U.S. Between
late Sunday evening and early this morning, several inches of snow
fell across areas along and west of the Blue Ridge and mainly
north of U.S. 460. This area of heavy snow and sleet that moved
across the region earlier this morning was shifting north of I-64
and will continue to do so this morning. However, pockets of light
freezing rain and freezing drizzle will linger across the region
through the morning and into the afternoon in northern areas until
temperatures slowly creep above freezing.
While additional accumulations of snow and sleet are expected to
be minor, ice accumulations from freezing rain and freezing
drizzle will remain possible through the morning in the south and
well into the afternoon across the north until temperatures
finally rise above freezing.
...WINTER STORM WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EST TODAY...
* WHAT...Light freezing rain and freezing drizzle. Additional ice
accumulations up to 1/10 inch.
* WHERE...In Virginia, Grayson County. In North Carolina,
Alleghany NC, Watauga and Ashe Counties.

hazardous conditions could impact the morning commute.
