We’re not getting the massive dump of snow that had been forecast, but the messy mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is still making roads dangerously slick throughout the Shenandoah Valley.

Virginia Department of Transportation crews and contractors were busy Thursday night plowing and treating roads.

For the second straight Sunday, a winter storm is bringing snow to the Shenandoah Valley and Alleghany Highlands.

According to recent data from USDA, nearly 40 million Americans live in food deserts, areas defined to be without grocery stores within one or more miles in urban regions, and ten or more miles in rural regions.

Overnight refreezing and some additional snow showers have created slick driving conditions Tuesday morning in many parts of the Shenandoah Valley and Alleghany Highlands.

VDOT crews are treating and plowing roads in the Shenandoah Valley, but motorists should drive with extreme caution or delay unnecessary travel.

The Sunday snowstorm brought 3 to 6 inches in some areas of the Shenandoah Valley, and additional winter weather in the form of snow showers and sleet is forecast overnight and into Monday.

Roadways throughout the Shenandoah Valley and Alleghany Highlands are snow-covered Sunday morning.

VDOT will hold a design public hearing on Tuesday for the replacement of the Route 17/50/522 (Millwood Pike) bridge over Interstate 81 in Frederick County.
