How much snow did we get? Here’s the latest snowfall reports for Augusta County and beyond

Walking down Beverley Street Tuesday morning, a few people wondered if we would get any snow at all. By noontime, that question was answered as thick (and very pretty) snowflakes started to fall getting heavier as the day unfolded.

It didn’t take long before people took to the mostly empty main street to go for a walk and enjoy a proper snow day. While there were few cars driving downtown, there were some that did and encountered near misses and backslides thinking all wheel drive might make them impervious to the slippery hills. It didn’t.

At night, the snow blanketed downtown Staunton with storefront lights and street lamps giving a warm glow to the peaceful and quiet picturesque scene.

Snow falls on Beverley Street in downtown Staunton on Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025.

The deepest snowfall in several years has buried roadways in parts of the Shenandoah Valley and Alleghany Highlands, said Virginia Department of Transportation’s Staunton District Wednesday morning.

“Treacherous driving conditions are found throughout the region, where some counties received up to a foot of snow from Tuesday’s winter storm,” said VDOT Staunton District.

A wintry mix is forecast for Wednesday afternoon, and could bring a coating of ice to previously plowed roadways.

“Stay off the roads as the Virginia Department of Transportation crews and contractors from the VDOT Staunton District work to make them passable.”

The snowfall has stopped and the powdery snow scenes are being replaced by a slippery, slushy mess.

A light wintry mix is possible Wednesday morning into the midday, before a steadier ******* of freezing rain occurs late Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night with ice accumulations up to two tenths of an inch expected in Augusta and Rockingham counties, according to the National Weather Service.
