Wet roads in the Valley and throughout Virginia are likely to refreeze overnight, and snow showers may bring additional accumulation. A winter weather advisory remains in effect.

The Virginia Department of Transportation in Staunton has had crews on the roads since midnight, and crews will continue with 12-hour shifts tonight and Tuesday.

VDOT says “the safest plan is not to travel during winter weather conditions.”

Rapidly changing road conditions are possible as precipitation amounts vary across Virginia. Untreated surfaces are most likely to receive additional snow accumulation.
