Winter storm snarls roads across Southwest Virginia and West Virginia
Weather conditions left Interstate 77 and U S Route 460 snow covered as crews plowed and treated. Police reported numerous minor crashes, power outages affected hundreds in McDowell and Tazewell counties, and officials urged residents to stay home unless travel was essential. Roads remained treacherous with ice, snow, and freezing rain across Bland, Giles, Tazewell, Buchanan, and surrounding counties.

Wind Farm Fight Hinges On Ridgeline Law In Tazewell
Dominion remains hopeful the Tazewell County Board will amend the ridgeline protection ordinance to permit wind turbines on East River Mountain while critics argue the 2010 law blocks the project. County officials weigh state or federal overrides, with some backing the $200 million venture for potential economic boosts.
