Snow storm blanketed Bluefield and Tazewell area
Snow accumulations of 2 to 6 inches expected in the Bluefield area with 4 to 8 inches in Tazewell County as the storm winds down today. Officials urge holiday travelers to slow down and allow extra time for road clearing. Secondary roads remain icy and treacherous, with primary routes monitored and salt and abrasives on standby. The forecast calls for a warming trend early next week, then a potential Christmas Eve system could bring rain, snow, or a mix.
