YouTube Update: New VRE CEO, Pipe Bomb Suspect Graduated from Local High School

We’ve published a new Potomac Local News video update covering the biggest stories across our region today — including winter weather and school closures, a federal arrest in Woodbridge, a major powerline proposal affecting multiple counties, and big changes coming to Virginia Railway Express.

In the video, we walk through the latest snow totals, Virginia State Police crash numbers, and local impacts across Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Northern Virginia. We also break down the arrest of a Woodbridge man accused of planting pipe bombs outside national political headquarters, the growing backlash to Dominion’s proposed “Kraken Loop” transmission line, and VRE’s new CEO stepping in just as major service disruptions begin in 2026.
