Winter weather advisory expanded

Early this morning, the winter weather advisory was expanded to including counties up and down the Blue Ridge, including in the Roanoke and New River valleys, mainly for localized icing at higher elevations. It is unlikely we'll see ice in the floor of the Roanoke Valley before it expires at noon, just a cold, cold rain, but some of you at a higher elevations around the edges may be getting light icing. Be careful if you are traveling any roads that take you above 2,500 feet today.

We missed a widepsread ice storm by a narrow margin on this system. But at least we're getting some needed rain.

  1. Trees and bushes are covered with ice in much of the center of Floyd County. No ice on roads, though.

  2. So where does the weather go from here, Kev?

    I know we'll have the upslope the next day or so.
