HOW MUCH?
Not much has changed in terms of how much snow to expect. Locations along and west of the Blue Ridge should see 3-6" of snow. The higher elevations will be on the high end of this range. Southside should see more of a mix and snow resulting in 1-3" of snow. Keep in mind, pavement temperatures are warm so most of the snow will accumulate on grassy surfaces. Also, temperatures Monday afternoon will rise into the upper 30s to near 40 so some of the snow will melt.
