Another Blizzard Coming?

     According to WDBJ7, the entire southwest region of Virginia is now under a severe weather warning. Now the question is, how much snow will we have? According to WDBJ7’s severe weather warning, we should expect anywhere from 4 to 8 inches, but that could change come Wednesday. Different weather models are showing different things. One meteorologist even commented that “anyone who doesn’t get a foot of snow will be extremely lucky.” 

Below is an exert from the report:
