Ice blankets the ground, sidewalks, and streets this morning.
We’ve seen cars in ditches, and we’ve got reports like this one about a major crash and closure of a portion of Interstate 95 in Spotsylvania County:
Interstate 95 northbound is closed in Spotsylvania County near Exit 118/Thornburg for a multi-vehicle crash involving multiple tractor trailers.
Northbound I-95 traffic is being detoured from the interstate at Exit 118, where motorists can take Route 606 (Mudd Tavern Road) westbound to Route 1 northbound. Motorists can re-enter I-95 northbound from Route 1 at Exit 126/Spotsylvania.

Here’s the forecast:
Sleet & freezing rain overspreading the area now. Untreated roads likely icy! Turning much milder tonight/Sunday! #dcwx #mdwx #vawx #wvwx

The ice has also slowed down the Marines:
