Ice A Danger Tuesday & Wednesday

After the snowfall, ice has become the primary concern for Tuesday and Wednesday in Central Virginia. As evidenced by this photograph taken this morning by viewer Ed in Rawlings, VA, icicles have formed on eaves of houses, trees, and power lines. Please be aware of these icicles.

Also, black ice continues to be a problem on many roads, as temperatures plunged into the low teens Tuesday morning, and remained there through mid-morning. Highs today will remain below freezing in much of Central Virginia Tuesday, and temperatures are expected to drop into the teens again Wednesday morning. Any snow that does melt or become slush today will refreeze again overnight, meaning round two of the black ice Wednesday morning.
