UPDATE, mid-day:

VDOT: "Snow is already coating many roadways in the Shenandoah Valley and Alleghany Highlands including Interstates 81 and 64. Sunday’s winter storm is spreading across the region from south to north, and is expected to bring heavy snow as well as sleet and ice. The Virginia Department of Transportation urges motorists to avoid all but emergency travel.

The region, including Interstate 81, has terrain with steep grades that increase travel hazards during snow and ice events. This is especially true for truck traffic and it is important that trucks avoid the region, particularly I-81, on Sunday and into early Monday.

VDOT employees and contractors are mobilized throughout the 11-county Staunton District, and are plowing and treating roads as needed. Wreckers are staged at several locations, and tree-removal crews have been notified for deployment as needed.

As of 11:30 a.m. Sunday, minor to moderate road conditions are reported in the counties of Alleghany, Bath, Rockbridge and Highland. Slick conditions are expected throughout the Staunton District by early afternoon."

Earlier:Snow already started to fall about 10 a.m. Sunday in Rockbridge County, and we're in for more of it. Lots more.

As the Staunton VDOT account Tweeted: "The storm is steadily moving north... with its cold, dead eyes focused on the rest of our district. Stay home if you can."

Ice accumulations for Jan. 16-17, 2022, in central Virginia.
