Snow accumulation iffy, travel impacts likely with coming storm

When it comes to the clipper system that is supposed to bring snow showers to our region Wednesday, how much snow accumulation we see – if any at all in Prince William and Stafford counties – all depends on the temperatures.

Snow showers are expected to develop about midday Wednesday bringing one to two inches of snow the region, but mainly to the northern Washington, D.C. suburbs in western Virginia and western Maryland. Our area could see less than an inch of accumulation, according to the National Weather Service.

What snow that does fall could mix with rain by Wednesday afternoon. That’s because temperatures are forecasted to climb out of the 20s and into the low 30s, above the freezing mark.
