Parts of Virginia and North Carolina that are more prepared for hurricanes than snow received more than half a foot as a winter storm blasted across the mid-Atlantic on Feb. 19

A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for the District of Columbia, parts of Maryland, and northern Virginia due to expected heavy snowfall. The warning will be in effect from 1 PM today until 7 AM tomorrow, with snow accumulations expected between 3 to 8 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

The North Carolina mountains could get hit hard with ice this week as there’s a concern for just that on Tuesday and Wednesday. Significant ice accumulation is possible on those days. There could also be numerous downed trees and power outages as ice begins to accumulate in those areas along with heavy rain through the week.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol says it responded to nearly 1,200 collisions statewide on Wednesday. Virginia State Police reported early Thursday that there had been nearly 500 crashes statewide.

Northeast North Carolina could see biggest snowstorm in more than 60 years. FOX Weather Correspondent Brandy Campbell spoke with one Elizabeth City, North Carolina, resident and his daughter about the recent snow and even made snow angels with them.

Snow continued to fall in parts of Virginia and North Carolina on Feb. 20, a day after a winter storm dumped a foot of snow on coastal Virginia.

Families, kids, animals, and even law enforcement got to enjoy the historic snowfall. Check out the photos of the fun and beautiful scenic pictures.
