DANVILLE, Va. – Danville residents awakened to a winter wonderland as the area was blanketed by wet, fluffy snow.
National Weather Service meteorologist Nick Fillo said the fast moving storm system brought 3-4 inches of snow to the region overnight. Little was sticking to roads but he cautioned that driving may be hazardous, especially on side streets and in residential areas.
The snowfall tapered off around daybreak with little additional accumulation.
Public Works reports that streets are mostly clear, with slush in some areas. Danville Transit is running regular service Thursday.
Utilities crews responded to scattered outages throughout the service territory. The outages are snow-related, with the wet, heavy snow weighing down power lines and tree limbs. A city spokesman says about 1,500 customers were without power around 8 a.m.
