Winter Weather in S.Virginia?

[Grblpwr]

The worst part about winter in NN/Norfolk is the wind from all the water blows almost constantly and is frigid, especially on the peninsula. Unfortunately you get barely any pretty snow to go with the cold, just freezing wind and rain that is as cold as ice and is being blown at you by the wind like little stinging missles. It will, I kid you not, drop to 33 degrees and rain for days. Every once in a blue moon you will be rewarded with some snow, and the slightest dusting shuts the entire area down.

Its not that the South is any warmer on any particular day, its that it stays warmer longer.

In Virginia, you can expect the summer to last well into October. Then the first frost comes around Halloween time.

I've lived here my whole life (grew up in northern virginia) and never saw a White Christmas. Except maybe one year in 1989 when we got a dusting of snow.

The coldest months in Virginia and January and February. In late February, a thaw comes, and by March spring has arrived!
