West Virginia.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Some locations may see up to an inch of snow

should be limited. The primary threat to travel will be overnight
from a wintry mix, which could briefly be snow or sleet but
primarily fall as freezing rain. Precipitation will change to
plain rain by midday Tuesday.
WB 12Z AI EPS and to some degree the EPS and GEFS all show trough back in the east by mid March and it continues to deepen. Worth keeping an eye on this period.
WB 0Z EPS has another shortwave behind Monday's storm which is kicking our threat out to sea. Not enough spacing. Too bad but right now threat for anything is greatly diminished in the DMV. No model is showing a storm here.
The big storm for me last weekend was a lot of white rain. Like it or not, ground temps and sun angle matter this time of year. If the snow is a light snow during the day on Monday even with temps below freezing it will melt. Soil temps never fall below freezing on Monday. Have to factor that in.
On GFS, with warm ground from the weekend, and snow falling during the day, cut those accumulations some at least on pavement but air temp is well below freezing with 20 plus degree negative anomalies.
