VDOT Urges Public to Avoid Roads Amid Winter Storm Impact Across Virginia

News summary

Following a significant winter storm, officials in Virginia and Texas are urging residents to avoid travel due to hazardous road conditions caused by ice and snow. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is actively plowing and treating roads, but conditions remain challenging, particularly in the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding areas, where some locations received nearly a foot of snow. VDOT has reported that primary roads are in minor to moderate condition, while secondary roads are severely impacted and hazardous for travel. Texas Department of Public Safety officials echoed this warning, noting multiple vehicle crashes due to icy conditions on I-40 and advising motorists to stay home unless necessary. In both regions, authorities stress that staying off the roads allows snow removal crews to work more effectively. Residents are encouraged to monitor local weather and road conditions before considering travel.
