Virginia Winter Storm Update: Crews work to clear road

Crews are working to clear roadways after another blast of winter weather hit Virginia and the surrounding region.

Dozens of school districts closed, delayed or shifted to virtual learning because of the weather. Strong winds and the weight of heavy, wet snow on tree limbs also raised the risk of downed power lines and scattered outages.

The National Weather Service urges anyone who must travel to carry an extra flashlight, food and water in case of an emergency. Drivers can check the latest road conditions by calling 511.
