The Roanoke radar shows snow shut off throughout most of that area too. Have to admit, it's not looking too good for much of western Virginia. 

 

Yea it doesn't look great, but you'd be surprised with how the mountains screw with the radar signal.  A traffic cam in Fishersville (btwn Staunton and Waynesboro) shows pretty low visibility.

Nice. Hopefully your folks pull this out. And the CCB should pivot back through regardless of the dryslot making it there.

was it not also funneling down colder air than what was anticipated as well?

Yes, which goes with dry air (cold air holds less moisture than warm air). The dry air ate the snow up right at I-78. But that S/W which drove the dry, cold air down then was much stronger than for this storm, which is pretty much a Jan 1996 in strength. A system like that can overcome a weaker system driving in confluence.
