Blacksburg, VA – Snowfall will continue overnight in Western Greenbrier County, West Virginia, with accumulations of up to 3 inches by Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory that will be in effect until 10 a.m. on Thursday.
The advisory predicts slippery roads and hazardous travel conditions, especially on bridges and overpasses. Residents should prepare for potential delays in the morning and evening commutes.
Snow fell earlier Wednesday evening, causing slick roads throughout the region. Before conditions improve, expect to see 1 to 3 inches of accumulation.
To reduce the risk of an accident, officials recommend slowing down, leaving more space between vehicles, and avoiding sudden stops.
Temperatures are expected to stay below freezing, making untreated roads particularly hazardous. The advisory emphasises the need to check local road conditions by dialling 511. To avoid accidents, drivers should proceed with caution in the area.
Road crews have been working to clear main thoroughfares, but side roads may still be covered in snow. If travel is not necessary, staying at home is recommended until conditions improve.
The advisory also warns residents to expect disruptions in their daily routines as a result of delayed commutes and snow-covered sidewalks. Snowfall is expected to subside by mid-morning Thursday, as conditions gradually improve.
Make sure to check the weather and travel conditions on a regular basis. For the most recent advisories, go to the National Weather Service website or follow local weather updates.
