WAKEFIELD — A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for portions of Virginia and Maryland today, with light snow possible this morning and increasing into the afternoon in many parts of the state.
There will also be a possibility for freezing rain across central Virginia this afternoon into tonight, according to the National Weather Service in Wakefield.
Snow was seen falling throughout the region Monday morning, with little to no accumulation expected.
VDOT said crews in most of the commonwealth were pre-treating roads and bridges over the weekend in anticipation of the storm and would be monitoring roadways and treating conditions as they develop. If two inches or more of snow accumulates on the pavement, plows will begin snow removal operations, VDOT said.
“Another week is here along with another forecast of snow, freezing rain and mixed precipitation that may impact roads in Virginia tonight through Tuesday morning. Motorists should watch forecasts along their routes and change their plans based on road conditions,” VDOT said.
