Thanks to Tony Russo of Virginia Beach, Virginia for passing along these photos of the snowstorm that is hammering the area. Tony reports heavy snow mixed with sleet still occurring Saturday afternoon with 7.5 inches on the ground- more than that area typically gets in an entire winter.

Thanks to Dolores Hager of Hanover Park for sending us this great host of tonight's full moon. This full moon is to appear the biggest and brightest of the year because the moon is currently at perigee- its closest point to the Earth in its elliptical orbit.

Not too many sunbathers and swimmers in the Nashville area today as a winter storm is lacing the area with heavy snow. This picture was sent to us by former Chicagoan Lisa Nisevich. The photo was taken by her husband who was attending a conference in Nashville.

Our WGN Weather Center colleague Richard Koeneman just sent in these pictures of the beginning stages of what promises to be a another major snowstorm in that area. By the time the storm ends later this weekend, snowfall totals are expected to be in the 10-14 inch range. That area was also hit by a 15-inch snowstorm back in December just before Christmas.
