Streams Flood After Heavy Rain and Snowfall
Heavy rain and a surprise snowfall caused area streams to rise and several bridges on secondary roads to close. The Shenandoah River reached 8.95 feet above normal near Front Royal, with 1.50 inches of precipitation recorded in Winchester. The Old Charles Town road bridge near Stephenson and the DeHaven bridge on Rt 671 were blocked as creeks surged, and Back Creek covered Rt 704 in places. The situation was easing later as snow melted and forecasts called for showers or snow flurries in mountains.
