This was the big one. A widespread 12-18" of snow fall across Southwest and Central Virginia with a few spots topping 20".
The snow was good enough to set new records for 24 hour snowfall for the month of December. For Roanoke, Lynchburg and Danville this was a top-3 three biggest snowfall for the month. Some storms lasted more than 24 hours which is why there is a difference in 24 hour snow and the actual storm.
