Winter Weather Worsens Across Region With Snow and Ice
Meteorologist Anita Silverman of the National Weather Service in Blacksburg explains bands of heavy snow remain spread out, with totals of 7.2 inches in Bluefield, 5 inches in Princeton, and 4 to 5 inches in Tazewell and McDowell counties. The Great Lakes Effect drives cold winds and more snow, but temperatures will rise later in the week. Officials urge travelers to check road conditions, stay warm, and beware negative wind chills as multiple crashes occur, including a fatality in Wytheville and numerous weather-related incidents across Mercer and Tazewell counties.
