Snow to Snarl Friday Rush Hour?

Northern Virginia woke up to a blanket of snow Thursday and began preparing for the Round 2 forecasted for Friday.

Weather forecasters say to expect more snow to start falling between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Friday.

There is a 70 percent chance that Northern Virginia will get hit with snow, said Steve Goldstein, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. He said it won’t be a lot, but will fall throughout Friday's rush hour.

“We’re looking at another inch or maybe an inch and a half,” Goldstein said.

The region was coated with about an inch of snow Thursday morning, delaying schools.

Virginia Department of Transportation spokesman Joan Morris said crews were out as early as 4 a.m. on Friday to pretreat roads in advance of this latest round.
