Winter Storm in Southern Fauquier, Virginia

Ice accumulation totaled up to a half inch at Opal.

Low pressure tracked into the Ohio Valley before transferring its energy to a coastal low along the Mid-Atlantic Coast. The coastal low intensified as it moved to the northeast. At the same time, high pressure was located to the north. Therefore, significant wintry precipitation fell across the area in the form of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Snowfall amounts averaged around 6 to 12 inches near and west of the Blue Ridge Mountains with 2 to 4 inches west of Interstate 95. Freezing rain also occurred with around a quarter to one-half inch of ice near the Blue Ridge Mountains in northern and central Virginia and ice amounts around a tenth of an inch just west of Interstate 95.
