UVA Health Colleagues,

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Central and Southern parts of the Commonwealth, including Charlottesville. The current forecast calls for approximately 2” of snow in Charlottesville with the potential for greater accumulations in areas of higher elevation. Precipitation is expected to begin in the early morning hours with the bulk taking place between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. At this time, both University Medical Center and Parking & Transportation will continue under normal operations, though we will monitor conditions throughout the next 24 hours. Some outpatient clinics may alter operations based on localized impacts.
