There are still some remaining patches of snow across the Charlottesville region one month after the first significant weather storm in some years.
Now another storm is be approaching and the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the Charlottesville area from 10 a.m. Tuesday morning to 7 a.m. on February 12.
“Heavy mixed precipitation expected,” reads the warning as retrieved on February 10 at 12:21 p.m. “Total snow accumulations between 4 and 6 inches and ice accumulations up to two-tenths of an inch.”
The forecast is foreboding enough for Governor Glenn Youngkin to have declared a state of emergency in order to access certain resources to prepare.
“I urge all Virginians to monitor your local forecast and to prepare for possible impacts to roadways and infrastructure beginning overnight Monday throughout Tuesday,” Youngkin said in a statement that went out this morning.
The declaration activates the state’s Emergency Support Team.
The City of Charlottesville will continue with municipal trash collection as scheduled tomorrow, but crews will start earlier.
“To help ensure full collection for Tuesday’s route, the contractor will begin collection routes earlier than usual,” reads an announcement sent out by the Public Works Department at 12:27 p.m. this afternoon. “Residents can expect collection trucks to be on route by 5:00 AM.”
More information will be posted in this article as warranted.
Before you go: This is the fourth segment from the next edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement that will likely go out today. It made sense to post it to Information Charlottesville first.
The work is part of Town Crier Productions, a company that seeks to inform people about what’s happening in the area in and around Charlottesville. You can support the work through Patreon, sign up for a subscription to the newsletter, or send in a check. If you do the latter, drop me a note first!

I don\’t know why, but ALL Information Charlottesville\’s reports have gone into my \”Social\” inbox with things like \”NextDoor\” notices. Is there something you can do to categorize your reports so they go into the \”Primary\” inbox like other news emails? Thank you, mrs
Hello! I’m not entirely sure, but I’ll check into it. I know I use Gmail and I just turned that whole system off because of the same reason. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
