Bluefield faces a major snow event with over a foot on some streets as radar shows a band moving northeast. City Manager Dane Rideout credits new snow-removal gear for keeping primary roads passable and urges residents to clear snow from flat roofs. A plow incident on Carolina Avenue caused minor damage but no injuries.
Snow continues to fall as plows from the West Virginia Department of Highways and private contractors clear streets in Princeton and Bluefield Virginia. Residents like Bobby Dove use ATV plows to clear parking lots, while others visit stores or head to hospitals, noting the storm is “about normal” compared with 1990s blizzards.
A winter storm battered the region causing a five car pileup near mile 84.5 on I-81 in Wytheville. Two women were hospitalized in Roanoke, while officials urged drivers to stay off the roads.
