The groundhog wasn’t kidding — more winter weather on the way

Though much of Virginia experienced warm, springlike weather this past week, drivers should pay close attention to this weekend’s forecast, plan ahead and be prepared to adjust travel plans based on conditions.

A mix of rain and snow is expected Saturday night through Sunday, especially in areas along and west of the Blue Ridge. Light icing will also be possible. Additionally, a brief period of light wintry weather could occur Sunday morning in central and northern Virginia.

As the weekend wraps up, re-freeze of wet surfaces is possible Sunday night into Monday along and west of the Blue Ridge as temperatures fall.

If a roadway appears wet, treat it as if it is icy. For those planning to travel for Super Bowl Sunday festivities, be aware of local conditions and be sure to designate a sober driver.

Virginia Department of Transportation crews in impacted areas will monitor and treat roadways as conditions develop.

On February 2, 2023, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog Day, predicting six more weeks of winter for the U.S.
