VDOT snow plow operators and contractors are actively engaged in plowing, treating and applying abrasives on interstates and primary routes. Continue to avoid all nonessential travel until after the storm ends Monday and conditions improve. More info: bit.ly/4pTXLxj

Ice totals continue to increase, now with 0.25-0.50"+ expected south of US-460, also decreasing snow totals. More ice means higher impacts, lasting through next week as temperatures remain dangerously cold, likely staying near or below freezing for all of next week. #RNKwx

We are well within the "few days out" stage of the Winter Storm Planning Timeline here for the winter storm expected this weekend. Still plenty time to get supplies for your emergency kit and adjust any travel plans to avoid being on the roads during the weekend.

Winter is here! Remember, heavy coats can compromise the fit of your child's car seat harness. Dress them in thin layers and use blankets for added warmth once they're snugly secured. Safety first, warmth second! 🥶🚗 #TheRightSeat #WinterTips

Early estimates show a sharp drop in traffic fatalities — an 8.2% decline — in the first half of 2025. Even as we see progress, there's more work to do. More: nhtsa.gov/press-releases/nht…

There are thousands of crashes along the shoulder of a road each year — many involving emergency vehicles. Help first responders help YOU — always move over! 🚓🚒🚑 *Some states have expanded laws to include all stopped vehicles.
