Southeast Snowfall: Winter Storm Delivers Surprise Snow
5 Dec
Summary
- Four inches of snow have fallen in parts of the Southeast.
- West Virginia and Virginia report the highest snowfall amounts.
- Below-average temperatures will persist across central and eastern US.
A winter storm is currently impacting the Southeast, dropping up to four inches of snow in some areas. While not as severe as a previous storm that affected the Midwest and Northeast, this system is still bringing significant snowfall to regions like West Virginia and Virginia, with localized areas exceeding initial predictions.
AccuWeather forecasts additional snowfall, particularly in southeastern West Virginia and central Virginia, with North Carolina expecting lesser amounts. Travel advisories are in place due to slippery roads and the risk of ice refreezing after dark. The National Weather Service advises caution for drivers and pedestrians.
Beyond the immediate snowfall, below-average temperatures are expected to persist across much of the central and eastern U.S. throughout the following week. This prolonged cold spell, combined with the recent storm activity, suggests that heating costs could rise for millions of households as December begins.
