An old Appalachian folklore saying declares that snow laying on the ground three days is waiting for another snow. If the crusty sleet-infused inches-deep icy shell covering most of Southwest and Southside Virginia from last weekend’s storm qualifies as “snow laying on the ground,” then that saying is about to be manifested. As always, there may be variance north and south in snow area and expected accumulations pending small variations in atmospheric details. North Carolina, on the whole, is expected to see heavier snow than Virginia this time around, possibly 8-12 inches in some areas. While the fluffy snow is not expected to cause power outages, highways will become slick quickly with any amount of snow coverage.
