Winter weather arrives again into the Shenandoah Valley tonight into tomorrow morning with forecast brief snow changing to an extended period of sleet and freezing rain and then rain. Early morning commuters and travelers are encouraged to use extreme caution and allow extra time for their trips.

In summer 2017 a geological analysis of the formation known as Natural Bridge began as part of VDOT’s work with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation at Natural Bridge State Park in Rockbridge County.

Light snowfall continues to create slick driving conditions on many roads in the Shenandoah Valley. Most areas have received a half-inch to two inches of snow as of mid-day Wednesday.

VDOT is warning motorists to prepare for snowy travel conditions as a winter storm moves through the Commonwealth. Accumulations between one and four inches are expected in most areas as the storm moves eastward across the state.

Snow is forecast for much of Virginia tomorrow. On Monday, January 15, the Virginia Department of Transportation Staunton District is pretreating interstate roads and some primary roads in the Shenandoah Valley in preparation for this winter weather event.

Motorists in eastern and central Virginia should plan for slick road conditions and poor visibility as snow and high winds are expected to move into those regions beginning this evening.

Roads in the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Culpeper District are mostly clear. Drivers may encounter some isolated patches of snow and ice.

VDOT has launched a new website focused on providing information to property owners and residents about maintenance activities and issues that affect residential areas.
