how are things looking? >> kimberly, about half an hour seen since we started this morning at 5:00 a.m. and now it has switched to that kind of sleet like leo and lindsey have this morning and afternoon double degrees have started and some businesses we did find our open but many others are closest. many of the downtown roads are moderately good shape but some of the others are still pretty snow covered as much traffic as we see on the roads downtown is a bit of a ghost town but some people were walking around balls dogs have to go outside. the good news is they were able to understand the positive and beauty and snow covered downtown. >> the heart of downtown. first time in my life i live in a small city. spent most of my time in europe in large cities. there is something absolutely charming. norman rock wellish about roanoke. >> and not everyone is able to take it easy today however. some people are trying to get out of town hopefully to warmer places. crews are working hard at the blacksburg regional airport but despite the best effort weather is too much. lots of cancellations for arriving and departing flight and issues at the regional today check your

sidewalk off. let the city know i'm interested in doing my part. i just wanted to help out. >> of course there is more than one way to move the snow. i found several people using leaf blowers to use the cars and driveway. snow is light enough to actually work. as for the roads lynchburg public work plowed a few of the main roads through neighborhoods like the san dust dusty area. most of the side streets are not touched until tomorrow. if you get around by bus the greater lynchburg is operating today on a modified schedule and they're only running right now on the plowed street. something to keep in mind if you do plan to use that service service. live in lynchburg, tim >> already dealt with more than 160 crashes statewide because of the weather. one wreck involving an over overturned

couldn't find no accommodations or reservations until today up at snowshoe. we stopped at covington to stay for the night and getting ready to track the last couple of hours in the snow skiing for the week. >> the roads up here in covington have been continuous continuously plowed and lots of tractor-trailers are coming and trucks. that doesn't make the roads any easier to travel. just a few minutes ago we saw a car having a lot of trouble getting up the road here. so kimberly, you definitely probably don't want to be on the roads today. >> exactly. just stay indoors if you have that option. thanks a man today. in the roanoke valley crew, trying to keep up with how fast the snow is falling. so they can clear them. wdbj7 eamon o'meara is live in blacksburg. what is happening there, eamon o'meara. >> definitely slowing down. we have a little sleet coming in. we had a lot of snow this morning with flakes that were fluctuateing from big to small and back again. it is causing a nightmare for drivers trying to get anywhere today in the new river valley. state police and vdot have already responded to dozens of crashes and disabled vehicles because of the snow. thankfully no injuries are reported in this area. i spoke to 1 person today who said he hasn't seen many people on the road. seems many are just staying home which is good considering the issues he's facing with how fast the snow was coming down. >> seems to just keep accumulateing after you have plowed it. also a site thing. windshield wipers are doing the best they can. when it comes down like, this it is hard to see. >> he says he's plowing the business park area in blacksburg so people can get to but he kept going over the same areas trying to keep up with all the snow that was falling. now he also told me he only saw two cars that were stuck on the side of the road. i personally watched one car spin out on route 460 and wind up on the side of the road stuck in some snow. definitely a reminder that it is troublesome driving out here which is why many officials are recommending just to stay home and stay off of these roads. live in blacksburg, eamon o'meara, wdbj7. >> wdbj7. preparing for possible freezing rain which could bring power outage this afternoon. wdbj7 danielle staub joins us from public works in danville. >> yes, that is right, kim. all the plows as you can see are out. they have taken care of the name roads this morning. working on the collector roads now and then the residential. that is the plan if we don't see any more snow this afternoon. as you said the officials here and crews are worried about freezing rain this afternoon. is limited to about an inch or two but it it is turning to slush as sleet and rain is coming down. that is why the attention is on the power lines. if that rain freezes we could see serious outages here. across the south side no power outages are reported yet and officials are reminding people if they do lose power to get things, such as flashlights, candle, alternative heating sources and be careful. if your power does go out call nonemergency number in your area. it is not just in danville here here, kim, as we look

though his opinions often sparked controversial. >> he could be charming and combative at the same time. >> he maintained friendship with liberal justice like ginsburg who said she and scalia were best buddies. his death leaves behind an even evenly split court with four conservative and four liberal supreme court justices. president obama said there is enough time left in his term to appoint scalia's replacement. but many republicans including senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said the appointment should wait until after a new president is elected. >> i do not believe the president
