Greene County and areas as far north as New Market to Culpeper may also experience slippery travel conditions.

What to Expect:
Snowfall totals are forecast between 1 and 4 inches, with locally higher amounts possible along the ridges. Light snow is already creating slick spots on roads and walkways.

Safety Tips:

Use caution on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways, which may be icy and increase the risk of falls.
Stay alert for changing conditions throughout the afternoon.

Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and take precautions if traveling or heading outdoors.
