VA Weather Advisory Issued; Weekend Snow Possible

STERLING, VA—Having sidestepped the nor'easter that bullied its way through the northeast, folks in Northern Virginia can't exactly breathe easy. That's because another snowstorm could affect the area this weekend, according to the National Weather Service's local HQ in Sterling and other outlets.
