...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW MAY CONTINUE FOR ONE TO TWO MORE
HOURS...

Localized heavy snow has lead to accumulating snow of 1 to 2
inches on roadways in counties of the New river Valley and along
the Blue Ridge in Floyd, Carroll, and Grayson county. Snowfall
should start to diminish in intensity over the next 1 to 2 hours
across the area with additional accumulations of up to half an
inch possible. Dissruptions to travel may occur until the heavy
snow stops. Melting of snow on roadways is expected given warm
temperatures that occurred over the last several days.
