episode_narrativeA strong upper-level jet streak induced lift of residual low-level moisture into polar air, producing two separate batches of light snow which totaled an average of 4 inches or more in portions of the central Shenandoah Valley. Elevations above 2500 feet received between 4 and 8 inches of snow; elevations below 1000 feet received less than 4 inches. Schools closed on the 20th in Shenandoah and Augusta Cos (VAZ025-027), giving children and extended winter break. Most of the snow accumulated on grassy surfaces and trees.
