struggle to somehow make sense of all that's happened here. that just like the cleanup and recovery is going to take a very long time especially difficult when you consider how early these storms hit. there are still two full months left in what has already been a deadly tornado season. in henryville, indiana, jay gray, news 4. >> the snow is also having an impact in our area. up to 10 inches fell across central virginia. darcy spencer is in thornberg, virginia in spotsylvania county with more. >> reporter: it's looking really on the slushy side. earlier today it was like a winter wonderland and a half hour ago we had a little snow shower that came through. now a lot of people thought their snowball making days were over for the season so today they were caught off guard. on the prince william parkway, no snow. a little further south in fredericksburg there was snow

but not enough to delay. further south some residents say they got half a foot. were you expecting to hit this kind of snow? >> no. actually i was in south carolina where it was like 70 so we hit this and it was like oh, okay. >> reporter: this guy was walking his dog gemini in a pair of shorts in the middle of a snowstorm, traveling from north carolina, accumulating snow was the last thing he expected. how is gemini taking this? >> he's confused. he's from florida, so he's not used to the snow. >> reporter: jackson has to get his walk in, too, the first time this labradoodle's paws have been this cold. he's never been in snow before? >> never been in snow. we're from charleston, south carolina. >> reporter: the spring is just around the corner. this could be the last significant snowfall of the season and some people were caught off guard. they've already put away their snow scrapers and brushes. oh, well. you can always use your sleeve.

it. >> really a shame for those that really would love to see some snow. this was the typical snowstorm for this time of the year called alberta clipper making its way out of canada down across the states and right through our region. it did produce upwards of 6 to even 10 inches in some areas right through central virginia. you can actually see the white, the really white band that sets up right there. you see that just above richmond. that storm though is now out of here and behind it we are still seeing some light snow showers moving on through the region but most of those are going too. here is the parent storm and then here are the showers moving on down to the south. notice not too many left in through northern virginia and portions of west virginia and maryland. still a few though down farther to the south. we'll continue to watch out for those as they make their way down to the south. they will not cause any problems. temperatures? that's where the problems are going to lichlt especially down to the south. 37 in culpepper. 41 in fredericksburg. 40 in washington. but the wind chills right now in the 20s in many locations.

gop nomination, it's because he's focused on jobs. during this campaign, there's been discussion about all sorts of issues but i keep bringing it back to more jobs, less debt, and smaller government. >> reporter: that's a swipe at rick santorum. he was in miamisburg, ohio talking about jobs but also social issues. >> whether we are a country that's going to believe in the integrity of the family, whether we're a country that's going to respect all human life. >> reporter: voters in 11 states cast ballots tomorrow but the world will watch ohio. santorum vs. romney. and in the latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll the gap is narrowed to just two points. a statistical tie. on main street in bexley, ohio today at the cozy restaurant, it was a tie. >> i'm going to vote for mitt romney because i think he is more of a middle of the road candidate. >> i absolutely follow christ, like he is who i want to be a reflection of his perfection.

accountable and make an example out of greg if you start unturning some things around the league some things might unfold and you might realize that it wasn't just the saints or redskins. everybody's like, greg, take the blame, but there might be other stories. well we did this too. >> reporter: you think a lot of people are hoping this goes away quietly and ends with greg? >> the league wants it to go away quietly because the bounty, it's not a good image for the league and not what the players were out doing. i think it's a misrepresentation of the whole situation. >> he did say that the players were never, ever asked to take another player out of the game or seriously injure them. williams was scheduled to meet with nfl investigators in new york today so the question is, involving the redskins, when does that statute of limitations up? williams was here from '04 to '07 and is now with the rams. he coach the jaguars, bills, and

titans over the last 12 years so if you punish one team do you have to punish the rest? we'll find out the answer to that question in the next couple days. >> a lot of questions. thanks. a wrongful death lawsuit brought on by the 2007 shooting rampage at virginia tech is now going to trial. jury selection in that case, a civil case, began today. the lawsuit was filed by the families of victims aaron peterson and julie pride. the parents say university officials botched their response to the shootings and they want a full account of the actions taken that day. 32 people were killed in that massacre at virginia tech. the school president charles steeger and the campus police chief are expected to testify. coming up next on news 4 at 6:00 a dispute over a dog ends with one man dead and a d.c. campaign volunteer in handcuffs. tonight new details about the moments leading up to that confrontation. another apology from rush

united states will disarm iran. >> by peaceful means if we can but with military force if we absolutely must. >> reporter: meanwhile in israel citizens are preparing for the worst case, getting bomb shelters ready in case diplomacy falls short. the latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll shows just over half of americans support a u.s. military strike if iran gets close to having a bomb. in washington, i'm brian mohr news 4. israeli authorities have implied in the past that they would not necessarily give washington advanced warning if they do decide to attack iran. students at joplin high school in missouri have scored a really big name speaker for their graduation this year. president obama himself will deliver the commencement address in may. more than 160 people were killed including seven students when a tornado tore through joplin, missouri last may.
