On Monday, Gov. Abigail Spanberger updated the Commonwealth on the winter storm, and thanked response teams and those who were cooperative with the cleanup efforts.

Virginia State Police emphasized the importance of not driving Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs), side-by-sides, and similar off-road vehicles, even with the current state of emergency in the Commonwealth.

The Virginia National Guard is staged and ready to assist localities with their response to the incoming winter storm that will impact much of our region.

The first big snowstorm of 2026 brings back a lot of memories, whether you rode out the blizzard of 96 or the one in 2016.
