... Light snow producing slick travel conditions this morning...
An area of widespread light snow that has developed over portions of southeast West Virginia and southwest Virginia was producing some slick roadways across the region. Lack of gusty winds was allowing the snow to cover many untreated roads and bridges. Use caution if traveling through the area this morning. Snowfall will become more scattered later this morning with gusty winds increasing.
