I have lived in Virginia Beach, Front Royal and Danville. You would think I saw a lot of snow in Front Royal but I was there in 2012-13 and saw nothing more than a couple inches.
I saw some good snows at the beach and Danville.
It's crazy how you have been beating me in cold temps. The flood had something to do with it I think. All the trees and vegetation next to the river are gone and its all open now
Some places in Buncombe got snow that normally don't out of that direction. Even Mills River had a dusting. Probably how you got flakes. I'm directly in the lee of Mt Mitchell so you can forget about anything here out of that direction barring a strong mesolow.
Charlotte has barely seen snow this decade period. It rarely snows the first week of December anywhere outside the mountains. There are a few examples, especially in WNC, but it's more likely to snow in mid March.
