To the people questioning the Virginia weather - yes, it can snow like that in the DC area, definitely. However, the winters are generally mild and the snow would probably melt after not all that long. So the "flash-forward" would not need to be all that far forward.
But wasn't this, like, the 5th or 6th winter that these folks have experienced in Virginia? They appear to have made it through all the others without great difficulty...
Random TWD zombie mythology observation: if brain death is the only way to kill a zombie, then I would think that being actually frozen would kill them, as all of the blood vessels in the brain would burst. In any event, we do see that sub-freezing temperatures can incapacitate them, making them very easy to kill. That being the case, wouldn't moving to a colder climate be BY FAR the best way to establish a post-zombie community (and places like - ahem - Georgia, Los Angeles and Mexico, be the worst?). In addition to having much fewer zombies (because of fewer population centers in northern climates like Canada, as well as the total zombie deaths that would occur every winter), the colder climates would force people to wear more clothes when outside, which would protect against bites. Additionally, there would be a great food supply, due to the wilderness/animals. Lastly, there would be a greater degree of protection against other human colonies, as there would just be fewer of them (there are fewer people to start with, in the non-urban parts of Canada, and there is plenty of land to go around, especially for the incredibly small number of human survivors left). Of course, then we'd just be left with a show about post apocalyptic communities hanging out in Canada. Not too interesting of a horror show, eh?
