A late season winter storm has departed the Shenandoah Valley after leaving several inches of snow on Saturday. The area received generally two to three inches with some higher amounts on the ridges.

VDOT urges residents to prepare for a winter storm that is forecast to arrive early Saturday morning and may drop two to three inches of heavy snow across the district, with highest amounts in the western counties along the Blue Ridge Mountains.

A recent accident at the intersection of Route 612 and Route 340 that took the life of a Crimora woman hits home for me.
