Real winters, moderate snowfall
January averages a 40.6°F high / 26.4°F low, with roughly 22 inches of annual snowfall -- a real, if not severe, winter season consistent with inner Northern Virginia's climate.
No hurricane risk; real tornado risk consistent with the Piedmont/Coastal Plain
Manassas carries zero hurricane-landfall risk. Virginia's tornado activity concentrates somewhat more in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain than in the mountainous west, per virginia.js's statewide climate framework -- Manassas sits at the edge of this more tornado-active zone, a real, if statistically modest and typically weak (EF0-EF1), risk.
