Cold air was in place east of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the 29th and 30th, keeping surface temperatures below freezing.  Low pressure moved from the Lower Mississippi Valley northeastward to the Mid-Atlantic region early on the 30th, creating the perfect conditions for freezing rain around the Fredericksburg area, a mix of sleet and snow east of Skyline Drive, and moderate snowfall in the mountains.  Ice accumulations between 1/4 and 3/4 of an inch coated roads, trees, and power lines in Fredericksburg and Stafford, Spotsylvania, and King George Counties.  Electrical outages were reported as trees and branches weighed down by ice fell onto power lines.  Disruptions affected 1000 power customers in Albemarle County, 125 customers in Orange County, and 3000 customers in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania and King George Counties.  A mix of sleet, freezing rain, and snow fell east of a line from Charlottesville to Arlington.  Snow and sleet accumulations in this area ranged from 1 to 3 inches. West of this line, 3 to 7 inches of snow and sleet fell.  Storm total accumulations included 1.2 inches at Washington Reagan National Airport, 6.4 inches at Dulles International Airport, 6.0 inches in Winchester, 9.0 inches in Luray, 6.5 inches in Warrenton, 2.5 inches in Manassas, 4.7 inches in Orange, 6.4 inches in Culpeper, 3.0 inches in Charlottesville, 6.5 inches in Staunton, and 7.0 inches in Monterey.  Over 70 auto accidents were contributed to the storm, including two separate crashes in Loudoun County which killed a 59-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman.  Significant flight delays were reported at National, Dulles, and Charlottesville-Albemarle Airports.  Several train and bus routes were canceled or delayed.  In Culpeper County, three horses suffering from hypothermia were rescued from a pond during the storm after falling through the ice.
